What you have is not a program, as much as it is just a group of body parts written on a page with the word "cardio" written after them. Put more thought into what you are trying to do if you want to achieve your goals.

which routine is better?
Hey guys I was wondering which routine is better for muscle building and some strength improvement. When I lift I do 3-4 sets with 8-10 reps (the weight isnt too light where i can do more than 10 but not too heavy where i cant do less than 8).These are the two routines i have planned out:
Monday - Back and Biceps + Cardio
Tuesday - Abdominals + Cardio
Wednesday - Chest and Triceps + Cardio
Thursday - Abdominals + Cardio
Friday - Legs + Cardio
Saturday - Abdominals + Cardio
Sunday - Cardio
(obviously like cardio)
OR
Monday - Back and Biceps and Legs+ Cardio
Tuesday- Chest and Triceps + Cardio
Wednesday- Abdominals + Cardio
Thursday- Back and Biceps and Legs + Cardio
Friday- Chest and Triceps + Cardio
Saturday- Abdominals + Cardio
Sunday - Cardio
Which is better for muscle building? Thanks!

Even with the limited info youve posted they both suck.
- Why CV 7 days a week?
- Why do you have NO rest days?
Its impossible to tell anything about them because there isnt nearly enough info there to judge.
Do you work off that info when you're figuring out what to do in the gym on any given day?http://www.getlifting.info

Its already been said, but seriously, 7 days of cardio a week as well as weight training? I dont see that lasting more than 3 weeks... u need an off day. And posting your goals wont hurt either.
