If you want to focus more on your abs then don't do so much weight training and take rests in between to do cardio. For example with workout i have plenty of time to do both cardio and weight training.

Monday- Chest + Cardio
Tuesday- Cardio
Wednesday - Biceps/Triceps + Cardio
Thursday - Cardio
Friday - Back/Shoulders +Cardio
Saturday - Cardio
Sunday - Legs

As well ever day I do weights I also do ab excersices...3 sets of 25ish for upper/middle abs, lower abs and obliques. That is how I like to work out and just trying to give you some new options

Hey bro,

That program doesn't look too bad. Six days a week is pretty hectic but you have a good split so as long as you are not doing too many sets per workout (should be between 18-24 total), you should be fine.

program is a little different but when I am strictly training for strength, split usually looks like:

Day 1 - Chest, biceps and core
Day 2 - Legs and shoulders
Day 3 - Back, triceps and core
Day 4 - Rest
Day 5 - Repeat

I try to train each body part twice a week, I train shoulders on leg days because shoulders don't need alot of work, they get alot from chest and back days. I also do cardio every day that I train either before or after and always try to switch it up from bike, to treadmill to rower, etc.

Here's what I mean:

Good luck!
