My goal is to have a body, like a boxer (maybe little smaller, but cut). I'm 5'10 and 145 pounds, 18 years old. In the past i was working out completley wrong, but after a lot of research and reading I made this routine and will most likely go through with it. How does it look?

Tuesday - Workout 1
Thursday – Cardio (30min) Running
Saturday – Workout 2
Sunday – Cardio (30min) Skipping

Workout 1 – Upper Body (3x10 reps)
Chest:
1. Flat bench press (Barbell or Dumbbell)
2. Flat Dumbbell Fly
Shoulders:
1. Military press
Arms:
1. Curls (Barbell or Dumbbell)
Abs:
1. Sit ups (4x20reps)

Workout 2 – Lower Body (3x10 reps)
Back:
1. Barbell Row
Legs:
1. Squats
2. Leg curls
Chest:
1. Inclined bench press (Barbell or Dumbbell)
2. Inclined Dumbbell Fly
Abs:
1. Sit ups (4x20reps)

Keep in mind I have university, pretty much all day on mon, wed, fri.

Thanks for any opinions
 
Everything looks great cardio is very important so I can see you put that in there to keep up with that also remember to eat right and you'll be perfect

Good luck with your results!
 
Well, it looks ok, but your "lower body" day isn't really lower body. Chest and back are for upper body.

If you can do deadlifts I would put them in there, your lower back, traps, and hams will rock.

I think you could do two upper body workouts per week, and one lower body workout (but exclusively lower), make time as much as you can, if you have time between class, go workout. If the gym is open late go at night, or if you're a morning person, same thing. Good Luck.

WTF are you talking about?

1 - you are very uneven, your working your chest four times as much as your traps and your not doing any chin up for your lats.

If you can only work out twice per week you should do this.

for mass

workout 1
Incline press
decline press
Wide grip chin up
hanging leg raises
sit ups

workout 2
hanging clean double press
dead lift w shrug
squat
tricep cable push down
bicep barbell curls

if you are more worried about loosing weight and not worried about mass and strength then you may like to try doing 2 full body workouts. like this

flat bench press
wide grip chin ups with hanging leg raises
deadlift, clean and press
squats.

these four exercises will work your whole body, if you feel you need to you can also add things like:-
bicep and tricep work
calf raises
sit ups
more shoulder press work (dumbells)
just add what you think you could have worked harder.

have a read of the bodybuilding FAQ before you reply, it may help you out. also you may like to try HIIT instead of only running twice a week, You'd gain much more from running 10-15mins per day =70-105min per week fast than if you run for 60mins a week not so fast you'll be burning 4 times as many cals and lose weight much quicker.

ty for suggestions. I'm not a big guy, 5`10 and only weigh 145. I basically just want to burn any remaining fat (for 6 pack) and build muscle if that helps a bit more for what I should do cardio wise (how often, etc.) Thanks in advance for any more advice.
 
unless your training to be a runner then there is no reason you should run any longer than 20mins. the faster you run the less time you spend doing it. if you run for 15mins a day flat out you'll burn more cals than if you run for 1hour 2-3times a week. Plus you wont go catabolic and lose all your muscle.

check out my HIIT posts in the bodybuilding and weight loss FAQ's.
 
wow i think you have solved my problem. Every since I started running, which was 2-3 times a week for 30min, sometimes longer, I stopped gaining muscle mass. Thanks a lot everyone.
