In case it's not obvious I'm doing arm specialization.

Have to stop weighted pullups for awhile as I'm having trigger finger issues.  
Bought a pair of these to test out.  Good quality but don't relieve enough pressure.  So really just need to stop the pullups.
I'm also splinting the finger to rest it.

Abs: Stick twists, Good mornings, Db side bends, Knee ups  - All 50 reps
Standing calf raises - 3x12
Seated calf raise - 3x12
1 leg calf raise - 3x max reps

Incline db curls 5x10
Reverse barbell curls - 4x10
Seated barbell French press - 5x10
Incline barbell tricep press - 5x10
Lying db triceps press - 5x12

The lying db tricep press is really intense on the last few reps and gives you a good pump.  I need to do 12 reps to really feel it. 
You wouldn't think it would be very effective but it is.

Haven't tried the lying db tricep press in awhile. Might throw it in today. Don't even know what weight to use.

Do it at the end of your arm workout or after tricep involved exercises.

You don't need much weight at all but do 12 reps.  The burn comes in at the end of the set.

How long do your workouts last nat?

How long do your workouts last nat?

1.5 to 2 hours or slightly more.

I usually train 3 times a week with a day off between workouts and 2 days off after that.

I like a day off between workouts.

I take a day off between workouts don't forget.

My shoulders have been sore and bothersome while trying to sleep so I lowered the weight and upped the reps on the db presses to see if it helps.

When you train to you plan the work out or do you decide as you go?

When you train to you plan the work out or do you decide as you go?

Hey OT,

I have it in mind what I'm going to do that day.

The only thing I might change is the number of sets for an exercise.

Often I do exercises in order of convenience like today I alternated sets of front squats, lat pulldowns, db pullovers.  Saves time.  I had to do a few warm-up sets of the squats so I fit the back work in there.

[Obvious Gimmick]

When you train to you plan the work out or do you decide as you go?

Was wondering the same thing. I go in with a body part I want to do, but the exercises change according to what strikes me as fun that day. Probably should have more of "a program."

As long as you train hard you can change exercises at will. Having fun is part of this. If it's only misery you will be an ex lifter. Don't get me wrong I am my own worst enemy in that I push it to far to the point of injury.

My shoulders have also been bothersome overnight. Maybe it is because I haven't done squat...err overhead presses.

A longer workout might dry you out, Prime.
