Modays. (This is all at 6:30 in the morning) I start by warming up on the punching bag.
And then in the wieghts room I begin on my Fore Shoulders (Dumbell raises) and in order. . . Go to Shrugs, Rear Shoulders (Bent over Dumbell raises) and then the Pecks with the machine where you squeeze in. (Dont know name) Lower back on the machine, pull down the bar towards you and have your body at a 45 degree angel. (Pecks and lower back i try and do a 40, 4th block down.) Then Triceps by lifitng the dumbell's, Hammer curls for Biceps. Both are at 15kg And finish up on the machine where you pull down the bar in front of you to work the area above your wrists.
Warm down on Punching Bag. Have shake when i get home. (As soon as possible)
I always keep the weight moderate and do about 10 reps for as many sets as 2. Anymore it becomes hard but it feels like its not enough. Should i lower the weight? And i always make an attempt to keep my shoulders back and chest out.
Tuesday - Legs day. Same warm up. But i kick the bag instead of punch it. Ive down abit of Kickboxing so i throw it some Round houses and front/rear left/rights.
To begin witht the legs I work on inner thighs, the machine where you pull your legs in. I can do this one pretty good to get about 15-20 reps 4 sets. On a good weight level. (I dont know how much it is but its the 10th block. The blocks after that are bigger but 10 seems like a good moderate weight.
Then i do sitting toe lifts and standing toe lifts on 100lb. just on 15 reps 3 sets. Then the hardest is the machine where you lay down and push the weights up with your legs. (Sorry about the intelligence level on the name of these excersices im still learning) I do it at 100lbs 15 reps. And by the third set my legs are quivering. Im thinking about lowering the weight level on that one.
Then i go to Leg Curl Machine at 30 (the 3rd block down) I Find i can only do 1 set of 15 reps because the Squat machine has completely had me. And thats the same with the machine where you sit facing outwards and raise the weights on the machine by lifting your legs up.
And then thats it, i warm down on the bag same way i warmed up.

I drink water but try not to have to much.
To start off on a positive note, it sounds to me like you are pretty dedicated! Please take my comments more as constructive criticism than as obnoxious.
how much water do you consume daily? It's very hard to have too much water, although definitely possible.
Your routine is terrible. You should think more about training
1. with free weights and
2. with compound lifts (lifts that work more than one muscle group at a time)
There are a ton of benefits to this- more testosterone release from lifts like squats/deads, more bang for your buck because of the fact you're working more groups with one movement, and you're also training your body as a whole, not just with your legs doing an extension, but during a squat with your hips and glutes assisting your legs with the movement and lower back helping to handle the weight. The efficiency of a lift like a full squat beats the hell out of almost, if not every other lift.
Some good programs you might want to look into are;
