Hmm, okay, for some reason my last post didn't go through. Anyways it basically said the usual stuff and that I couldn't workout yesterday because of Xmas so I'm starting today. I began 1st week for Shock and boy was it great.

Chest
- Superset...cable crossover/incline smith press...1-2 x 8-10 reps each
2 sets of 8 @ 70lbs/170lbs
- Superset...incline flye/dips...1 x 8-10 reps each
2 sets of 8 @ 55lbs/BW+25lbs
- Dropset...machine bench press...1 x 8-10, drop 6-8, drop 6-8 optional
Drop set of 8 @ 155lbs, 8 @ 110lbs, 8 @ 90lbs
I thought I was decreasing the weight by 10-20lbs each time and then I checked and from 150 to 100lbs it was decrease of 20 per plate

Deltoids
- Seated side lateral/hammer machine press superset...1-2 x 8-10
2 sets of 8 @ 20lbs/50lbs (did cable machine shoulder press, no hammer press machine)
- Reverse pec deck/WG upright row superset...1-2 x 8-10
2 sets of 8 @ 50lbs/100lbs
- Cable front raise dropset...1 x 6-8, drop 6-8, drop 6-8 optional
1 Drop set of 8 @ 20lbs, 8 @ 10lbs

Triceps
- Pushdown/CG bench press superset...1-2 x 6-10 each
2 sets of 8 @ 130lbs/95lbs
- Reverse grip pushdown/incline overhead extension superset...1-2 x 6-10 each
2 sets of 8 @ 80lbs/60lbs
- Dropset weighted bench dip...1 x 8-10, drop 8-10
2 dropsets of 8 @ BW+25lbs / BW

Overall great workout, was pretty draining, but I made it through and am definitely noticing an increase of strength in all areas.

It's been a while since I've updated but it's because I took last week off which is what I was supposed to do with the P/RR/Shock routine. I didn't know if I was to stop taking my supplements but I basically stopped.

I got back on the Power week workout starting Monday and I could tell that I was not as strong as I was. Maybe I shouldn't have taken that week off, along with a week off the supplements.

Today's workout was a leg workout and I had a great workout, here is my results.

Results:
Legs
- Squats...3 x 4-6 - 3 sets of 6 @ 195lbs (+10lbs from start)
- Leg press...3 x 4-6 - 3 sets of 6 @ 430lbs (+90lbs from start!)
- Single leg extension...2 x 4-6 - 3 sets of 6 @ 90lbs (+40lbs from start)
- Lying leg curl...3 x 4-6 - 3 sets of 6 @ 120lbs (+10lbs from start)
- Stiff deadlift...2-3 x 4-6 - 3 sets of 6 @ 155lbs (stayed the same)

As you can see, my legs have gotten stronger and such large increases basically because I never had worked out my legs prior to starting my routines so they have a lot of improvement/catch up to my upper body.

Great workout and still have some energy in the legs (not falling over) so I probably could have pushed myself a little harder!

I am running low on CEE and I think I'm going to purchase another couple bottles of it unless there are other suggestions.
