Is this good to build big amrs?

So here is how I have my training split up, as I've experimented with upper and lower, push pull legs and now just made this as it's kind of like a bro split as I have some days dedicated to a specific muscle I want to grow and destroy tf out of:Screenshot_20240927_160433_Strong.webpScreenshot_20240927_160436_Strong.webpScreenshot_20240927_160523_Strong.webpScreenshot_20240927_160534_Strong.webpScreenshot_20240927_160541_Strong.webpScreenshot_20240927_160543_Strong.webp
You probably noticed I only have 2 sets for each exercise. Reason for this is that I find after the second set I start to lose the pump, mind muscle connection and don't feel the muscle as engaged and feels like junk volume, so I have every set to complete failure with strict form.

In terms of Day 1 specifically. Would I build big arms doing this the way I have it set up, as everyone is different, but wanted some thoughts and opinions.

Edit: might get rid of preacher curls as I don't tend to find much muscle mind connection for that specific isolation exercise.

Yes,but why no direct tricep work ?.
My triceps are more developed than my biceps, plus my triceps seem to just grow from pushing movements alone doing bench, chest press, incline, chest dip etc. Seems like doing direct tricep work isn't needed as it seems to be enough volume already for my triceps.
 
Low volume has never worked for me.

Agree.
Especially for stuff like arms.
I don't understand the thing he says about only doing 2 sets because he gets fatigued.
Doesn’t sound like the weight selection for what he is doing is ideal.
I mean, drop the weight and do more, if that is the case.
I wonder if he is doing warm up sets leading to the 2 and did not write those.
Still, I don’t like it much.
I wouldn't think people do 2 sets of stuff with "the pump" in mind, which he mentions.
I might be wrong.

You are
 
Finished training and I must say I feel great afterwards and feel great mind muscle connection and a great pump.

I've removed preacher curls because I feel little to no mind muscle connection and activation and feel like I'll end up tearing my bicep with it, so removed. I feel significantly more mind muscle connection, activation and pump doing concentration curls over doing preacher curls.

Removed dumbbell reverse curls as I get more activation, mind muscle connection and a better pump from doing barbell reverse curls over dumbbell reverse curls.

Bent over row underhand I do feel bicep activation, but obviously more back, so might remove.

I felt the most and strongest mind muscle connection doing incline dumbbell curls compared to all the other variations.

No I don't warm up, however I have decided it is best to start using bands to warm up before the 2 sets to get more out of my 2 sets.
 
You have to find what works for you, but I do a hell of a lot of volume for arms. I’ll run the rack as far as I can and do a feroce (cut highest weight in half) set at the end to complete failure. You’ll want to train triceps too as that’s where the arm size comes in.
 
My arms grew the best with 2-3 exercises generally beyond failure. Focused on Metzner curls, db curls and hammer curls. Preachers and incline swapped in and out accordingly.
