I tend to be less concerned with writing things out in advance and following them to the T for the sake of structure and organization, but rather pay close attention to what my body needs and adapt. I will also work abdominals every single day that they aren't sore. Because they are involved in damn-near every movement our bodies perform, they are conditioned to recover quickly.

To the original poster, you may want to consider not doing cardio post-workout if you're trying to bulk. In fact I would highly recommend it. If your resistance training workouts are long enough to use up your ATP, doing cardio at the end will make you go backwards on a bulking phase. I personally sometimes do a 30min cardio in the morning, spend the day recovering my energy stores and feeding my muscles, and then perform muscle resistance in the evening, but from the looks of it this may not be a viable option given your work schedule. Either way, too much cardio seriously inhibits bulking. Also, I'd like to suggest that you spend a couple weeks using high reps and power set for your triceps. Of course we're all different but most people I've known respond better to high reps with triceps. Other than that, if your avatar picture depicts your current physique, I just have to say awesome job on sculpting and cutting man. Very impressive.
