Thread: So im getting a lot more cut, but not any stronger

Hello everyone! About 7 months ago i was very overweight and out of shape. I am 19 years old and my weight was 260 pounds. After some intense dieting and working out I am proud to say that today I weight 178 pounds (I am 6 ft. tall). I am pretty happy with my weight right now so I am not trying to lose anymore but I also do not want to gain anything unless it is pure muscle.

People look at me in the gym and expect me to be lifting so much more than I do. I have gotten fairly cut (would be even more if i could get my skin to shrink all the way back to normal).

I will give you my weekly breakdown of workout and yes I know it has some major flaws as I do the same things every other day. But any advice to would be great on increasing my strength:

Monday:
30 minute warmup on olyptical
Weighted dips (add 25 pounds to my body weight)
medium grip pull-ups
60 crunches, 20 left side crunches, 20 right side crunches
(do this cycle 3 sets with 10 reps in the dips and pull ups)

Dunbell Bench
Weighted decline sit-ups (hold 45 pound plate in hands)
(3 sets, 10 reps each)

Dunbell Curl
Weighted decline sit-ups (hold 45 pound plate in hand)
(3 sets, 10 reps each)

Verticle Push-ups
Weighted decline sit-ups (hold 45 pound plate in hand)
(3 sets, 10 reps each)

Left side plank (30 seconds)
Right side plank (30 seconds)
front plant (30 seconds)
Weighted decline sit-ups (hold 45 pound plate in hand)
(3 sets of each)

Cable Fly
Weighted decline sit-ups (hold 45 pound plate in hand)
(3 sets, 10 reps of each)

Then i finish with 30 minutes on the treadmill

I do this exact same workout every other day. I do cardio on every single day even days off from the gym. I am currently training for traithalons so my cardio varies from running, swimming, and biking on non-gym days.

I do not lift much or at all with my legs because I do so much intense cardio and am working on performance in that area i do not want ym legs exhausted by the time i start running swimming or biking!

its dumbbell....dumbbell!!!!!

and elliptical....

And stop overtraining
