I do plan on switching to your routine eventually. I'm going to begin using a variation of your workout starting Monday. However, I am going to cut out shock week. After a few cycles like that I will bring in shock week. A friend of mine just started your P/RR/S routine and he says he has "fallen in love."
This is tough to pin down, but as a general rule I consider beginner to be lifting consistently for less than a year. An intermediate to be lifting for up to 3 years, and an advanced 3 + years.

Thanks to everyone that is using my program and takes the time to post how much you like it and what type of results you have been getting.

Thanks also to my P/RR/S warriors who have the experience to help answer questions about the program when I'm not here...Rissole, Tank, FS, Sapphy, etc.

You work each bodypart once per week. Each week will either be power, rep range, or a shock week. Do you understand?

Thanks for the clarification. I have considered myself an intermediate for some time because I have exercised and lifted on and off for years prior to this past 11 months that I have been lifting and dieting consistently. When I am done with my current 12 week cycle (Basically your routine minus shock week), then I will add in shock week. After several cycles I will try your revised routine.

Wow, I'm fairly new here and I just discovered this workout today. I've researched a lot of the old posts and have been putting together a workout best tweaked for me. I was due to start a new program on Monday anyway, but now I'm even more excited to switch it up. Thanks to everyone providing all this helpful advice.

99% of trainees have too much lower pec development as compared to upper chest development. All flat movments mostly target lower chest. I just don't think that declines is a necessary movement for most people.
