Hitting each body part twice per week?

So we know hitting each body part twice per week is more beneficial than once per week.
So say for instance triceps, say I hit them on Monday with tricep extensions which are an isolation exercise, I then did bench press on Thursday which although mainly targets chest is also a compound exercise and draws in the triceps would this count as hitting triceps twice per week?
Or would I have to do two direct tricep exercise twice per week for this to count as hitting the part twice per week?

Why chest is commonly paired with triceps...likewise, back & biceps done together. It's efficient & allows one to focus more on doing more tricep isolation work (overhead extension type movements) if needed0
