Great going Mike! Have you ever done Shock week before? I bet your arms were swollen![]()
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Rocco: Hey man, no I have never done shock week ever before. But today wasn't shock week my friend, today was my last day of rep-range week. So on Thursday I am going to start my shock week. We'll see how things go I am hoping for some great results. So far I absolutely love P/RR/S, no complaints at all. I love the way my workouts are always changing. Never doing the same thing.![]()
naturaltan: LOL, I definitely went way overboard for that cheat meal. Every Sunday night I am going to try and do a cheat meal just to keep myself sane mentally, but I might cut that out if it turns into a binge. This past Sunday I really went all out for whatever reason, don't ask me why. And there's no reason for that because I am eating a lot of calories on a daily basis as it is. Shooting for approximately 1.5g of protein per pound of bodyweight.

Archangel: I start shock week tomorrow bro, so I'll definitely keep posted what I think of it. At this point rep-range week is my favorite. I'll see what I think of shock week, though.
Rocco: Haha, nope, I have never done shock week ever before. I am hoping for some great results. I absolutely love dropsets, supersets, and all kinds of intensity techniques.![]()

Rest
Cardio:
10 minutes of interval training on the treadmill; alternated 1-minute of walking at 3.4 MPH with 1-minute of running at 10.6 MPH. I was exhausted afterwards, as usual.

12 / 160 x 10
12 / 160 x 10
Good sets of abs today I guess, I was absolutely drenched in sweat from running, though.

Dropped the ephedrine today! Although I think it was really helping my workouts, I have been having some problems lately with my sex drive, my fullness, and a few other things I won't mention downstairs. I am blaming the ephedrine, for now.
Today I ended up taking in approximately 330g of protein or so today, roughly.
Sleep: 7 hours.

Great workouts Mike. I look forward to seeing what you think about this routine once you have been on it for a few weeks. 15-20 mins in the gym? I thought I was bad at 30 mins but it's how you train while you are there that counts.![]()
It's hard to dance if you just lost your wallet. Whoa! Where's my wallet? But, hey this song is funky
Riverdragon: Hey bro, so far I love the program. I am just starting shock week so I'll let you know what I think of it but it has a little bit of everything, which I really like. I just need to make sure I keep my protein intake up, and I think I'll be okay. I just stocked up on some whey protein, weight-gainer, etc. I am actually kind of curious how my strength is going to be when I get back into power week next week.![]()

Great w/o Mike. Do you like BTN better than to the front Pulldowns for any reason? Still slinging major weight around for Shock week....Impressive!
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
Rocco: Hey bro, thanks for the support. Lately my strength has been okay I guess. I am really going to see how I do with power week next week. Hopefully I'll be okay, I am hoping from some new PR's but I don't know just yet. If my appetite keeps up I'm sure I'll gain some strength. I have been taking in a constant 300g of protein a day.

Heya man lookin good eh! Glad to see you puttin your own spin onto prrs!!! It will keep you interested. The numbers you are putting around are awsome man keep it up!!
Diet is looking really solid...taking in some quality cals! Good idea to let yourself cheat once a week but stay away from the binges. Even if you pre plan a whole pizza, 5 pieces of candy, cake, and a tub of ice cream. Pre plan everything so you can't binge you understand where I'm goin with this?
