Default Help Designing a Program

I have completed NROL4W and want to try NROL now. Here are my goals:

~maintain current muscle
~build strength
~build on current PR of 8 man push-ups
~achieve a real chin up
~continue to improve cardiovascular fitness (I'll do this on off days obviously)

I was very religious about following NROL4W to a tee. I don't feel the same compulsion this time around.

What I don't want:

~The very last thing I want is more abs!! My lower stomach has never looked like it does now and it's even made me consider giving up lifting altogether. I have no more flat stomach, even though I *lost* almost 30 lbs! My abdomen is hard as a rock, but it protrudes and I don't like that. Do you know a woman that would? So I don't want to do much ab work. In NR4W I had to add all kinds of weight to the core exercises to make them challenging. Perhaps that was a mistake.
~I'm not really interested in fat loss at this point.
~I don't care much about hypertrophy. I have nice definition. I would like a butt. But I don't think any of you can help me with that.

So...suggestions for building a program? It seems too easy to just do the strength programs and skip fat loss and hypertrophy completely.

Tom are you out there?
