    Tuesday
    Biceps, 3 warm up sets, 2 exercises, 8 working sets of about 10-15 reps
    Triceps, 1 warm-up, 2 exercises, 8 working sets of about 10-15 reps

    Thursday, superset:
    Biceps, 1 exercise, 6 sets of 18-20
    Triceps, 1 exercise, 6 sets of 18-20

    So I guess 3 exercise each per week, 14 sets.... Or so.

    Man that's a lot of reps compared to a 3x8. Do you prefer the lighter weights?

    My Tuesday, after warm-up sets, is only 2 exercises for Bi's and 2 for Tri's, for 4 sets. So its only 4 excises, coupled with shoulders for 3 more exercises, so my total workout is only 7 exercises for the whole workout. Takes about 70-75 Mins.

    "light" is relative I suppose, I'm not sure how to answer that, it feels heavy at the time

    The superset on Thursday is focused on high rep pump sets, so yes, its lighter.
