Hey dude cool log. Good details. I got a few Q' for ya, and some input too. Btw, looking solid and thick in the pics. 
Why half barbell curls? First half or second half? Reason I ask is I see most guys doing bb curls in the gym with a shit ton more weight than they can handle for clean reps, and only curl it for the first half of the rep. Not implying you do that, but curious as to why?
I see you use free weights on some bicep exercises, but none with triceps. Certainly cables & machines are great if you have elbow issues, but IMO I think you might see some more growth if you throw at least 1 free weight basic movement in there, like cg bench or skull-crushers.
On leg press, is that 18 plates total, or per side? If the latter, props - that' some serious weight if using good ROM.
I think I read you started with bb rows, then supersetted those with one arm cable rows. What's your logic behind this? Not saying it's right or wrong, but not too often you see one supersetting an oxygen depleting exercise like bb rows, deads, T-bar rows with anything at all. Not only the breathing factor, but supersetting obviously take a hit on the poundage you could be using on the basic - in this case, bb rows. So what's your take?
You mentioned the gear you're using, but I didn't see dosages (I'm old - maybe a blind thing haha
). What's your dosages?
Obviously you know how to get er' done based on your physique. I think the couple bits I threw at ya may help. Keep on pumpin' man - lookin' good!

Hey man- thanks for the follow and questions,... I'll try to hit everything.
The logic behind my coach having me do the superset that way to to tear and then fill with blood. Alot of times you'll see me do something like a heavy row with a stretching movement like a pullover of some sort.
I do use free weights on triceps as well, I get a mix of everything, without looking back it might have just been that way the last couple weeks due to the gym being busy and I had to substitute a machine in or something. The half rep style curls (From the bottom) create major tension on my biceps with the pause there. And hell no I'd die if I put 18 plates on each side of the sled my gym has ..lol... i think the best i've ever done was 11 plates per side. There is major resistance on that particular sled.
I didn't list dosages because I am of the opinion that everyone's needs are different and I don't want a newbie jumping on and seeing what I use and thinking that's exactly what he should be running. But I do break dosages up to where I pin about 3x a week.
Thanks again brother for your suggestions too. From your avatar pic it looks like you've got the arm game down pat...
