my workout schedule and goals, please post your thoughts...

Hey, I'm new to this forum. But I'm looking for some feedback on my routine.

I am 6'1. My weight is 197-200, around 13-15% body fat. My goals are to get to 10% body fat, or to get the most out of my abs and body, while still gaining some muscle and improving definition.

Monday-Saturday routine.

Monday-Chest. 10 sets of 3, heavy weight. Incline, decline, reps 6-8. 4 sets.
Dips, 4 sets of 8-15. 4 sets of 8-15 of Flys. Triceps.

Tuesday-20 minutes cardio, 3-4 types of ab exercises. 2 sets of 50 pushups.

Wednesday-Legs and Shoulders. 4 sets of each, 6-12 reps. Leg Press
(heavy), squats, leg extensions, hamstring curls, calf raises, butt blaster. 4 sets of 6-12 for shoulders. Circuit Training between shoulder press and shrugs. Bar raise.

Thursday-20 minutes cardio, 3-4 types of ab exercises, 100 repetitions on leg press without weight broken into two sets of 50.

Friday-Biceps, forearms, triceps, and back. Circuit training between wide grip lat pullups, chin ups, pullups, and close grip pullups, (done to failure) to E-Z bar of light weight of 7 and 7s. 4 sets of 6-8 of 60 lbs of partial bicep curls.

Saturday-20 minutes cardio, abs.

Sunday-Rest.

I am basically eating whatever I want at the moment, a lot of bread and carbs. I take a preworkout shake of Muscle Milk and an postworkout shake. My calorie intake is usually between 2500-3500 calories.

Whatever you think of what I have detailed, please, post your help or ideas regarding this work out plan. I have been working out since my freshman year or high school and am now 21, and have been working out 3-6 days a week for a year and a half. I went from 215 of pudge to 190 and now back to 200 with more muscle. I went from 30+ body fat to under and around 15. Wondering helpful diets you have, as I have never really stuck with one, I just cut out fast food, try to eliminate hydroginated oils and trans fat, or anything deemed unhealthy.

Thanks

Drew,

Welcome to the board! One area for fat burning improvement may be found in your cardio. 20 Minutes may not be enough... Try boosting that to 40-50 minutes each time. And, make sure you are getting a good high HR (about 60-80% of your max is a good range) for the entire time.

Are you drinking lots of water? About 1 - 1.5 gallons per day is a good start. Also, that is a lot of calories... Makke sure you break them into ~7 meals. Before your cardio don't eat anything (for about 2+ hours).

hey thanks, yeah I eat all throughout the day, smaller meals and two shakes. At work they laugh because I constantly am eating healthy snacks, like almonds/cashews/raisins mix or apple slices etc.
