It really depends on that person...Everyone recover's differently...I would say, if you need an extra day...then take it...what are your goals...do you have a deadline

Do you think your back/bicep soreness will affect your chest/shoulder/tricep exercises?

exactly what i was thinking, say on mon chest day, wen legs, by fri usually seems upper body is more recovered. it feels like my lifts arent as strong when have only the 2 day weekend break, but when upper body day switched its alot better, so i think the 3 day in between might be better, hell its a whole week for lower, but sometimes i do slip it in 2x a week, which makes it 3 day rest anyway

Your back being sore shouldn't affect your chest workout...

I have nothing to contribute except this one variable that my old partner and I argued all the time about.

Are you talking musclular recovery, or CNS recovery?

You could say one muscle has nothing to do with the other, but your CNS has everything to do with everything.

I always get the most out of my workouts when I give my muscles adequate time to recover. Chest and back are opposing muscles, so you shouldn't suffer much from doing them on back to back days or consecutive days throughout the week. I find that my workouts are worse when I train muscles that involve the same muscle groups or the same types of movements (push movements/pull movements) back to back days or less than 3 days apart. With that taken into account, my typical week usually looks like this.
Day 1: Shoulders or Chest, arms (bis, or tris)
Day 2: Back, abs
Day 3: Quads, calfs
Day 4: Chest or Shoulders, arms (bis, or tris)
Day 5: Hams, Calfs, abs
Day 6: Cardio or off
Day 7: Cardio or off
