my workout schedule (please read and make some corrections)

okay im 17 and used to be really skinny (and still skinny i think or at least look like it)

im 5'10" 140 lbs

my goal is to get lil bit buffed on chest and arm.. ah pretty much upper body

and lose lil belly ive got and get six pack

so far i did some exercises like bench press, arm curls, crunches, and leg raisers (raises?) for past few months -but- INCONSISTANTLY

so far, my result is i got some more chest and arm muscle

and i flattened my stomach just lil bit and i can barely see the middle line of my ab when i flex haha :D

and i can definately feel the four packs when i touch it lol

anyways but wut im trying to say is that i now REALLY want to get into shape and workout EFFICIENTLY

so i tried to make my schedule and here it is:

mon,wed,fri- ab (crunches and leg raises) and my lower body workout for basketball
tues,thurs- bench press, arm curls, run

what do u guys think about it?

do u think i can get into good shape (with six pack and more buffed chest/arm) with this schedule?

if not, can u make some adjustments?

also, should i work on my ab in the morning or evening or BOTH?

and whats you guys's suggestion on sets/reps on bench press? im doing 3sets of 7-8reps rite now

lastly, how many reps/sets of crunches.leg raisese should i do?


ok that was one long post with a lot of questions but please help this bro out

thanx a lot



btw i dont have excess to gym yet (i might get one soon tho) so plz consider that
also i MUST do the lower body workout on mon.wed.fri so dont change the bball workout dates

Your routine is too unbalamced and you'll end up more injury prone out of proportions if you don't include any back work. You'll make much better progress on a routine like this:

Monday - Lower body
Squat 3x8
Pullthrough 3x8
Hanging leg raise 3x8

Wednesday - Pull
Deadlift 3x8
Barbell row 3x8
Close grip chin up 3x8

Friday - Push
Bench press 3x8
Military press 3x8
Close grip bench press 3x8
 
There is no need to work your abs more than 3 times per week - so obviously only do them in the morning OR evening. And the only way you'll get a six-pack along with working-out is a consistently clean diet which will help you drop body fat.
 
work out harder! there is no way you should be able to do chest & biceps on tuesday and then come back 100% by thurs..
