Good to hear  . You will be dead soon .
ps- i wouldnt do the 3 day rotation that you have. Your doing 20 sets for your back, and 10 sets for your shoulders...
20 sets for the back is really alot and tnhe shoulders get hit from all the back and chest work. So you will need the whole week to recover.

Alright guys i have decided to restart training... i havn't been consistent lately but from Saturday on this is changing... I want some more progress already and sitting on my ass isn't going to do anything. Here is my new and intense routine. I will be eating normally and hopefully i wont be killed by this:
Monday – Biceps/Triceps/Traps
Tuesday – Abs/Legs
Wednesday – Chest, Lats, Biceps
Thursday – Triceps/Traps
Friday – Abs/Legs
Saturday – Lats/Chest
Sunday - Rest
This is my workout for the next 6 weeks. I will be making measurements of myself tomarrow then tracking them weekly.

I'd say so I had 2 or 3 weeks where i trained them every day and got like .4 inches growth.
Today's workout was amazing... i beat my old bench press record in reps and no joint pains at all!
I did one warm up set for each exercise.
Bench Press: 182 X 13, 182 X 9, 182 X 7
Straight Arm Pulldowns: 60 X 12, 60 X 12, 60 X 15
Lat pulldowns: 160 X 12, 180 X 10, 160 X 12
Flys: 100 X 12, 100 X 10, 100 X 9
All weight values except for the bench press are rounded because in the users guide there is a wide spectrum of what the weight that i did could be.
MEASUREMENTS (ALL DONE WITH YARN AND MEASURING TAPE)
ARMS:
15.75 inches
FOREARMS:
13.25 inches
CHEST:
44.5 inches
CALVES:
17.5 inches
THIGHS:
24.5
The chest measurements may be one inch more than they really are because i dont remember if i started at the 1 inch mark or 2.

I just realized one thing. My routine lacks shoulder exercises. Anyone have suggestions to where i can squeeze em in? Thanks a lot.
By the way i bought a bunch of new wife beaters today... got em in variety of colors and designs. Now i can pimp it while in the gym and out.

I still need suggestions for the shoulders... here is the workout for today:
Bicep Curls(standing) - 1 X 20(warm up), 2 X 14(25pds), 1 X 8 35 *All were virtually superseted. Rest < 30 seconds between sets.
Triceps pushdown - 2 X 15, 1 X 10
Bench Press - 1 X 8 (182 pds), 1 X 10 (172 pds), 1 X 8 (162 pounds)
This day was not too good for lifts. I most definetely am still not completely healed from my saturday workout but will keep doing this and see what happens. Hopefully the gains will come and i will be able to heal faster since im getting into lifting again. Basically im just hoping the soreness will cease.
NOTE
Never again am i starting with light exercises. Heavy compounds first, light later. I was obliterated by the time i got to bench.

Wow, I didn't even notice that you didn't have shoulders in your routine. I would definitely put shoulders on wednesday in place of biceps. Cause wednesday you already have lats, which will give your biceps some work.
btw, you have really nice measurements. How much do you weigh again?
