Need advice with my routine

What I want to do primarily is reduce my body fat percentage so I'm doing endurance training instead of weight lifting. I do a medium weight and do dropsets until 3 sets are completed and that would count as one set. For example, I'll do crunches with 120 weight and do 8 reps, reduce to 110 and do 12 reps, reduce to 100 and do 16 reps and thats a complete set. I do this 2-3 times and I keep going 1 level lower because of muscle fatigue. I work different parts of the abs on different days with warmups on my abs everyday. Everyday I do stretches followed by situps and pushups. I try to do an exercise that warms up my obliques and my lower abs. With this type of training I'll be able to intensify the workout as I progress by using heavier weight to allow endurance so will this make me look ripped by the time im done?

This is my Routine so far:
Cardio everyday at the end of workout
1. Sunday - Biceps, back, wrists, upper abs
2. Monday - Shoulders, chest(I try to work out my chest with different exercises to evenly shape it) , triceps, Lower abs
3. Tuesday - Legs and side abs
4. Wednesday - biceps, back, wrists, upper abs
5. Thursday - shoulders, chest, triceps, lower abs
6. Friday - Legs and side abs
Saturday is the resting day

I want my muscles to stick out not just because of my body fat, I want my muscles to be built. Will this type of routine work that way for me?
 
so are you doing 1 x 10, 12, 16 with drop sets 3 times? not even those on drugs do that much...if you can do more than 1 drop set than your not doing anywhere near hard enough...for fat superset upper and lower body exercises for 3 x 8 - 12 with 60secs rest between s/s and decrease rest 5secs each session until at 30 but keep wt the same the whole time...devise 2 programs and cycle through them until at 30secs rest which should be about 6 weeks...use compound lifts only...do abs all at once after cardio whenever you do that
 
Hmm by modifying that routine, what kind of weight lifting can I do to burn body fat AND build muscle at the same time rather than do only endurance training because I would to do them both simultaneously
 
You can't. you need excess calories to add any significant amount of lean muscle, and a calorie deficit to lose any significant amount of fat.

i subscribe to the belief that you eat right, lift heavy for low reps to maintain lean mass, while shedding the body fat.
 
What if I do regular weight lifting with cardio EVERYday will my bodyfat percentage decrease? Because I know that my body burns fat while I sleep. I dont ear any where near healthy tho.
 
He said if you want to pack on muscle you need to eat more cals than you burn. Its the opposite if you want to lose weight. Dont do them every day, take some rest days. Do something like D1-Cardio, D2-Weights, D3-Cardio, D4-Rest, D5-Weights.....so on and so forth.
 
exactly. if you want muscle to grow, you need to eat more. if you want fat to go away, you have to eat less.

so, you have to pick ONE GOAL and go with it for a few months, then change to the other goal. its called bulking and cutting.

don't put too much emphasis on cardio either. do it to build a strong heart, not to burn off fat. 3x a week of cardio is plenty.
