Is my program OK ?

[SKT174]

Monday
Chest (Free weight bench press 4 sets + Chess press machine 3 sets)
Bicep (Barbell Curls 4 sets)
Leg (Leg extension 3 sets + Leg Curl 3 sets + Leg Press 3 sets)
Abs (Crunch 3 sets)
Cardio 20 mins

Tuesday
Tricep (Barlbell 4 sets)
Shoulder (Lateral raise 3 sets + Shoulder press 3 sets + Shoulder press machine 3 sets)
Back (Vertical row 3 sets + Cable Front pull down 3 sets)
Oblique (Dumbbell Side bend 3 sets)
Cardio 20 mins

Wednesday - Rest

Thursday - Same as Monday

Friday - Rest

Saturday - Same as Tuesday

Sunday - Rest

I'm 168cm - 68kg

I'm not fat but I do have a belly which I really wanted to get rid of. My biggest goal is to get rid of the belly and hopefully get a six pack. I don't need to be bulk and big, but I want to have some sort of muscular form (if you know what i mean), will the above program work? Is 20 min cardio enough?

Is the Abs muscle the same as any other muscle in the body? The reason I asked is that I have heard many different stories, some say you can't do crunches or excercies everyday because it needs time to rest but some says they're different so you can train them daily. So, which is the correct one?

Cheers

Daniel

Here, I would remove the Chest Press machine, and possibly intersperse your Free Weight Bench Press with Flat Bench Flyes. Do 1 Set of Free Weight Bench Press, switch to a lower weight and do 1 Set of Flat Bench Flyes. Repeat until you have completed 4 Sets of Free Weight Bench Presses and 3 Sets of Flat Bench Flyes. If you follow your Chest exercises above, you may be overtaxing your muscles, because you are essentially doing 7 Sets of the same exercise.

Swap the chest and back...you won't realistically be able to do a good chest workout without hitting the triceps too, and, likewise, you won't be able to do a good back workout without hitting the biceps. So do bis and back on the same day and tris and chest on the same day.
