Ok, so I have decided to start a log, even though I am using old school linear progression right now. I am regaining muscle and this is the fastest way until I stall out and reach my previous mass/strength.
I was doing an abbreviated fullbody workout to keep it under an hour, but decided to keep some direct shoulder and tricep work, since I bench with a wide-grip primarily for pectorals, and need a little extra stimulation for the deltoids and triceps.
Frequency is every 72 hours generally, or roughly 2-3 times/week.
Volume is 3 sets of 8 reps of working load.
Progressive Load is old-school for now, upping the weight every time I get all three sets of 8 reps for a given load.

(Chest) Bench Press: 195 lb.s for 8/8/8
(Back) Barbell Rows (pendlay style): 170 lb.s for 8/8/6 (failed on rep 7)
(Thighs) Leg Press: 330 lb.s for 8/8/8 (yeah, my quadriceps are puny right now, hence the weak load)
(Shoulders) Overhead Press: 110 lb.s for 8/8/8
(Biceps/Lats) Close-grip Pulldowns: 190 lb.s for 8/8/8 followed by a super-slow negative at 220 lb.s
(Triceps) Overhead rope extensions: 72.5 for 8/8/8 this -> http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Triceps/CBBentoverTriExtRope.html
(calves) Standing Calf Press: 280 lb.s for 8/8/8
Good workout, bodyweight is 198 lb.s. I need to find a tape measure to get some measurements, don't have one handy right now.
