I know your question was only whether or not 5 days in the gym is good or not, but I want to throw a few things out there for you...
I would be in and out of the gym in 15 minutes if I just did triceps. Why would you pair back and biceps and leave triceps for themselves? To each his own, just doesn't make sense though. I think you were the one I referred to Max-OT correct? Here's my train of thought:
-If you were to put biceps/triceps on the same day, your biceps would be hit twice. Once directly on their own day fresh, then again indirectly on back day. I use this method and am knocking on the door to 19".
-I would give some seperation between your shoulders and chest. Doing bench, inclines, ect really work your front delts and rely heavily on your rear delts for stabilization and support. It would benefit your muscles more to seperate them so they have a chance to heal and grow.
-I gained alot of mass working 5 days a week Max-OT. After the weekend, you are hungrier to punish your muscles for taking the weekend off. It also helps maximize growth. When you're going heavy, you need that extended time in-between not only for muscle regeneration, but more importantly for joint/ligament recovery.
-I think going to the gym in the morning is the best time. Your growth hormone levels are elevated from your sleep so why not take advantage. After work would be a perfect time for cardio. For mass the best guideline most people follow is 6-8 hours before/after weight training.
