In reply to Mike. That was some food for thought, Mike, thanks! I do have a lot of front delt involvement!

You said you had problems with your shoulders and your brachioradialis. It’s possible that your smaller muscles are being forced to work as support in other exercises – not being exercised fully, but still becoming aggravated. To illustrate, your front delts work with Triceps and Pecs on Monday through pushups and incline presses. Then your delts may be involved as support on Wednesday with your back exercises. Finally, you hit your front delts again on Friday with Arnold presses.
One thought – if you feel you don’t need extra work for your front delts (they may be getting enough through pushups and incline dumbell presses), simply cut the Arnold presses on Friday. It’s quite likely that you get front delt work from your lying side raises, anyway.
It’s possible that a similar problem happened with your brachioradialis. Gripping for some of the compound exercises involves forearms, so your forearms are constantly getting hit.
You might want to cut down the number of sets for some exercises, or consider cutting down some compound movements where your aggravated muscles are being forced to work as support.

I recently started doing prone reverse flys for read delts (which were/are really lacking) and I’ve been seeing some success. It looks to be a good idea for people like me to force the little movements to be strict. It seems to have worked with seated curls and more recently incline curls too
