    your legs are going to be pretty dead. I dont know if you would want to do it after your workout. I do my cardio first for a warm up then go into my workout and how many grams is in your protein i do a protein shake when I wake up and a protein and <a href="http://www.allsportsnutrition.com/listproducts.php?style=category&value=GLUTAMINE" target="_blank">glutamine</a> mixture before and after my workout and one more before I go to bed good luck

    What is it you want to accomplish? How long have you been on this routine? Is it working for you? How about filling out your profile so we know more about you...

    It looks as though you are overtraining and not giving your body enough rest time. But if it has been working for you, by all means don't stop. here is my routine:

    Day 1:Chest/Bis/Neck
    Day 2: Legs/Abs
    Day 3:Off
    Day 4:Shoulders/Tris
    Day 5:Back/Traps/Abs/Rear Delts
    Day 6:Off
    Day 7: Off or repeat

    I do cardio whenever I feel like it, it's not a necessity to lose fat. It's your diet. I do 8-10 sets for chest and back. 12-14 for legs. 6-8 for shoulders. 5-6 for bis and tris. 3 for neck, traps, rear delts. 4-6 sets for abs each time.

    I follow a low volume training style and any set over the minimal amount needed for growth hinders the growth of the muscle. for instance in your workout you work shoulders, then u work arms the next workout. your triceps get worked twice in a row and in addition, your shoulders and triceps get hit hard when u do chest. but if you constantly see improvements, then why change something that works>?

    I have been only lifting for a year and a half and I have followed low volume training for about 4 months now. When I started my low volume training I could only squat 185 for 4-5 reps. Now I can get 225 for 4-5 reps. My bench has gone down from 225 for 6 reps to 225 for 3 reps, but the thing is I went from 170lbs at 20%BF to 158 at 15%BF. It's really hard to indicate my "gains" because I have been on a cutting cycle for those months, but to retain muscle you gotta lift heavy in my opinion. My friend follows this routine too and at about this time his bench was 225 for 5-6 reps, now he can get 315 up. So theres no hurt in trying, you have to find what works for YOU.

    I just go on that decline bench thing then do 2 sets of alternating curls like right elbow touching left knee. Then I do leg lifts for 2 sets then regular crunchs for 2 sets. I do them with weights and train them like any other body part, low rep and heavy as possible. Mind you, doing squats and deadlifts hit your midsection good too.
