I did an arm and leg workout at an ABC aka Animal Barbell Club at Diamond Gym on 7/18/15. I tried something different with arms. I did 100 rep sets. Yes, I said 100 rep sets. I heard about this style of training from previous bodybuilders like Rory Leidelmeyer, Chris Cook and Moe El Moussawi. This hits both fast and slow twitch muscle fibers. Before I go to my workout, I'll show you a tip sheet and basic key of 100 rep set.
Basic Key
Select 3-4 exercises per body part. Do only one set of 100 reps per exercise. No warmups.
You want to fail around the 60-70 rep mark but take as many rest-pauses you need to get 100 strict reps. 
Use 1/3 of your 10 rep max. IE: if do 225 for 10, use 75.
Rest-Pause is usually 10-15 seconds but you can pause for as many seconds left in your set. Such as if you do 64 reps then rest for 36 seconds. I like to do the standard 10-15 second rest.
Tip Sheet
Choose a bilateral exercises
If you do more than 70 reps without pausing, move up to a heavier weight.
Rerack the weight during pauses. 
Count out the seconds during the rest-pauses.
The workout:100 rep Arm Workout
Pushdowns 1 x100
Close Grip Bench Press 1 x 100
Skullcrushers 1 x 100
Preacher Curls 1 x 100
Cable Curls 1 x 100

My arms were pumped and fulled with blood but the DOMS kicked in the next two days. 
I had to use the massager to relieve some of the DOMS from the arms. Try this out. Tell what you think and have fun with your workouts.
