That depends on how many sets/reps/exercises you're doing. If you're doing one or two exercises then no. If you're not an experienced lifter (years I mean) and you're doing like 7 exercises, then yes you're probably overtraining.

Don't work your chest more than any other major muscle group. If you are a beginner, then drop arms day as it is completely unnecessary if you are doing compound lifts on your major muscle group days.
