Typically this is my regimen. I mix up the exercises every other week or so, and superset once a month. If I have a day that I feel I'm just not getting a good pump, I'll very the sets/reps/weight till I feel like I'm gettin the desired results.
I lift with a buddy who has been lifting with me for the last year in a half, so I feel more than comftorable going to failure, and occasionally doing a drop set, as he is a good spotter. Working out with a good partner can make all the differnce in yer workout.
Cardio 3-5days, depending on how much I feel I need that week. 45m-1hr, eleptical machine. Generaly done first thing in the morning. I do my lifting early afternoon. Generally do abs every 2-4days, after cardio in the mornings. Just depends on how they are feeling and if I think they need a lil extra work.
