Hey Guys!

Below is my current routine. I'm really happy with my results, as i've gotten very lean and pretty tone using this workout, but lately i can tell i've reached a plateau.

I've been using this routine for a good 2-3 mos (i know, probably waaay too long), and would like some suggestions.

Right now i'm super lean - 157 lbs and 5'11. I'd like to bulk up a bit more. Should I cut back on my cardio? I've been running 3-4 days a week with at least 2 miles each run.

Personally I try to do something everyday. Whether running, lifting, etc.

Below is my routine:

Mon: Running/Abs Day
18 Min High Intensity Clip
Abs (50 from decline bench, 50 inverted, 100 from machine)

Tues: 10 min brisk jog (4.5 on the treadmill) Chest/Back/Abs
Incline Bench Press - Dumbell, Bench Press - Dumbell, Front Raise Dumbell, Lat Pulldowns or Standing Stiff Arm Lat Pulldown, 4 sets, 8-10 reps, 30 sec rest periods 100 situps(25 from decline bench, 25 inverted, 50 from machine)

Weds: Running/Abs Day
18 Min High Intensity Clip
Abs (50 from decline bench, 50 inverted, 100 from machine)

Thurs: 10 min brisk jog (4.5 on the treadmill) Bi/Tri's/Abs -
Bicep Curls - Dumbell, Hammer Curls, Bicep Curl - Concentration, Rope Press downs, Preacher Curls, Skull Crushers, Dumbbell Kickbacks, 4 sets, 8-10 reps, 30 sec rest periods
100 situps(25 from decline bench, 25 inverted, 50 from machine)

Fri: Running/Abs Day
18 Min High Intensity Clip
Abs (50 from decline bench, 50 inverted, 100 from machine)

Sat: Lagging Muscles, Abs-
Any muscles that need a bit of extra work, or I feel didn't get enough punishment during the week, will be exercised today, along with abs.

Sun: Leg/Abs Day
Seated Hamstring Curl, Leg Extension,
4 sets, 8-10 reps
Abs (100 from incline, 100 from machine)

My suggestion, think about your goals and find a pre-made routine in the FAQ forum.

There's too many ineffective components of your workout to discuss individually.
