It looks like you're trying to do too much in 1 day. It's hard to give each exercise 100% when you do so many. What works for me is breaking it up into 3 groups. Group 1 Chest/Triceps Group 2: Back/Biceps Group 3: Legs. The reason for this is that when working out the different groups, you often use triceps with chest exercises and biceps with back exercises, ect.. This gives your muscle groups time to recover. It also lets you focus on a smaller set of muscles each day
Monday I do:
3 chest (incline/decline/reg) and 3 triceps (extension, pullover, dips)

Tues:
3 Back exercises (vary alot) and 3 bicep (inverted, regular, pullups)

Wed: Legs

Thursday: same as Monday

Friday: same as Tuesday

Then I do 30min of cardio each day after lifting so you're not tired when you try to lift..

It is also good to do core exercises each day such as situps/crunches and of course stretching out.

As I said, this is what I like to do, whatever works for you is great!

Keep it up!

Maybe I need to switch up. I always do cardio BEFORE strength training...thanks for the tip. I don't go to the gym, but use weights at home. I am starting to see a little difference now so I guess it's working.

Mike I only get to the gym three days a week. I don't do as much on the weight because I know each exercise works more mucles than just the muscle your trying to work. I think I am going to do my daily cardio after my workout and see how that goes. I also do my core exercises inbetween the major lifting to try and give my muscles a lil break. Thanks for the input.
