I'm working on a complete overhaul, and I need your help.
Here's what I have so far...
EXERCISE Monday - Weights (chest, triceps, shoulders) Tuesday - Cardio (sprinting) Wednesday - Weights (legs, core) Thursday - Cardio (jump rope, heavy bag) Friday - Weights (back, biceps, forearm) Saturday - Cardio (long run) Sunday - REST (woohoo!)
DIET Calorie range of 1800-2000 cals/day broken into 4 or 5 meals 1 higher calorie meal (like at a restaurant, etc.) as a treat per week No boozahol Limit sugars (except for fruit)
I'm thinking a general outline might look like Breakfast - scrambled eggs w/ peppers & onion Snack1 - fruit, nuts Lunch - lean protein, veggies Snack2 - whey protein w/ lowfat milk, fruit Dinner - lean protein, veggies
So, what would you change? What would you keep the same? All thoughts, opinion, and ramblings are welcome.

I think everything looks great. The only thing I would switch around is I would work the chest, biceps, forearms together and the back, triceps, shoulders.

Sounds good be confident in what you have chosen :) you've proved you can do it once before :)

I didn't see any complex carbs on your meal plan (brown rice, bread etc...) do you plan to avoid them all the time? I stick to my brown rice at lunch (and 2 toasts for breakfast), but maybe you're on something here... Interesting! you'll lose body fat faster this way, no doubt. I try to follow the same kind of plan than yours, but I do one day upperbody, the next day lower body, then cardio, and then back to upper etc... I think you are right, it's better to breack down the workouts to each muscle group if you want better results. sounds like a real good plan!

I love the diet. Make sure your fruit and veggie portions are huge! Add some complex carbs - legumes, grains. They have fiber and protein and will keep you a little fuller. But you knew that. I can't see you getting to 2000 calories without them, unless your portions are truly gargantuan.

@jessyline/Melba: Completely forgot about grains, but I planned on eating beans for some of the "lean protein" portions. Now that I think about it I don't even know if I want to add grains right now (except for my higher calorie meal which will most likely be pizza :P). Maybe adding whole wheat toast to breakfast would be a good idea.

@Shia: I rely on a lot of body weight exercises for my strength workouts, so I usually have to group chest/tricep (push ups, presses) and back/bicep (pull ups, rows) together since those groups are usually worked with the same exercises.

I think it sounds awesome.

My first thought was that video is hilarious! Second is, that's a pretty hardcore plan. Are you the kind of person who needs to jump in hardcore to get moving? I suspect you may be in which case, it's a great plan. I agree with above commenters that you're pretty light on the complex carbs and I'm not sure how you'll get to your calorie goals with the foods described. But, I am sure you'll work that out as you go on. When are you starting?

I always love your randomness- especially this video. I agree with what has been said above, about complex carbs- again we all know that you are capable of doing this program. Keep up the intensity!

So, what's your goal in this? Are you training for something, aiming at a weight goal, shape goal... what?

@Melba: Trying to lower bf%. I don't really care how my weight fluctuates so much anymore (though obviously I don't want that to get too out of hand either). I just want to finally see an ab or two, dammit!

A single ab would look weird, so definitely shoot for two.
