pec and ab question

hey yall! i'm new to this fourm, and have a question. i'm 16, almost 17....and have been workin out steadily since last december so almost a year. i've got a kind of tone stomach and chest, but want more. i participate in a lot of power lifting competitions by myself and with my football team, and just want better results. for my chest, i used to do 3 sets of 12 reps on each lift. (regular bench, wide grip bench, close grip bench, decline dumbell, incline dumbell and dumbell fly) every day. then today, i just started a new routine for it that i read some where. i started with dumbell incline, then did regular bench, then decline dumbell, and finalyl dumbell fly. i did 10-8-6-4-15 and it seemed to work me and feel a lot better, harder but a better work out. i wanted to know what you all thought of this routine, and if you had any suggestions. thanks!

then, for my abs, i used to do like 150-300 of each reverse crunch, crunch/situp, and oblique crunch, but never got real good results, and never felt like it had worked my abs a lot. today, i started with a new, pretty basic routine. i did 25 reverse crunches, then 25 situps, then 25 twist and crunch crunches, then repeated, for a total of 3 sets with each. it seemed to work me a lot better also, and felt harder, but better with better results. i could already feel a difference in my abs, and not just from the tightness of them being worked, but a difference. i was wondering what you all thought of this routine too, and if you had any suggestions. thanks again!

Any time you change your routine you'll find better or different results. Thats really the trick. When your body adjusts, do something different to shock it. It can be a different exercise, different work out schedule- different rep/set numbers, or simply a different order of exercises- like you just found out.
