What workout do you do at the gym?

Just curious really. I have upped my gym usage and am trying to be more consistent. I do three gym based weights sessions per week and 2/3 run based cardio sessions. I don't mix and match.
In the gym I generally do whole body alternating upper and lower body exercises. Today was
3 x 8 squats
3 x8 bench
Front and lateral shoulder raises 3 x 12 each
3 x 8each side lunges
3 x 10 bicep curls
3 x 8 leg press
3 x 8 lat pull down
3 x 12 sumo squat
3 x 12 triceps dips
Abs
I have no particular plan. I try and lift heavy. I'm just interested to see the changes in my body with a bit of consistency.
Anyone else care to share?

I do weights 3-4 times a week in the gym, alternating two different full body workouts.

Workout B, which I will do today looks like this:

Warm up with core exercises and glute activation
Romanian deadlift
Reverse lunge
Shoulder press
Lat pulldown
Cable kickbacks

I lift fairly heavy. Right now I'm in the 8-10 rep range, but will soon move to 5 reps on most exercises. I find weights are phenomenal at giving me the body I want. A few weeks of lifting, and everything firms right up.

Ground to overheads with a plate
Clean and press/jerk/full snatch
Overhead lunges
Squat with a pulse

I also use slam balls, battle ropes and lots of kettle bells, American swings are excellent with a decent weight bell
