Not the most intense workout, but the longest one with the most exercises. Warm-up should include bodyweight elbow-in push-ups. I often superset between shoulder and upper-arm exercises to speed things up.
If it's a day off, I can do every single exercise listed. Doing so takes under <time datetime="PT1H30M">90 minutes</time> if I stay focused.

Some of these also work out the traps quite well. I usually do the Arnold press and a rear-deltoid fly, but sometimes I do a shoulder concentration and hit every exercise in this section.
3. Standing dumbbell overhead press (anterior and lateral deltoid). High priority, 4 sets.

5. Front raise (anterior deltoid).

If I feel satisfied after a few Arnold press sets, skip the standing dumbbell overhead press.

#### Forearms and grip strength
This is the hard part. Forearm exercises have the highest difficulty for me, and results don't come easily. There exist many different forearm muscles, such as those controlling individual finger movements. Instead of targeting specific muscles, I target specific movements.
I go easy on this section if I'm including some back-day exercises in arm-day. Many back-day exercises, such as weighted lunges or farmer's carry, incorporate forearm endurance.
Grip strength is a major bottleneck for me, so I pay extra attention to this part of the workout.
11. Wrist/finger curls
12. Reverse wrist/finger curls (requires very little weight: less than 12.5 pounds)
13. Sideways wrist/finger curls
14. Behind-the-back wrist/finger curls with bands.
15. Forearm twists. High priority

I hope to get a hand gripper at some point to really hone in on grip strength. For forearm twists, I stop when my grip weakens; this always happens before my forearms weaken.

I can't over-emphasize how transformative this has been for my quality of life. Chores like laundry are a breeze when I can carry several loads (sheets, clothes, shower curtain, towels, tablecloths, and detergent for two!) in a single trip thanks to back-day gains. I find running much easier with good posture and strong lats.
Back day has my two favorite exercises: Kroc rows and renegade rows. I love back day so much! Unfortunately, I'm maxed out on weight for some exercises (esp. Kroc rows). While this lets me focus on form and more explosive movement, I really need a weight extension.
