So if you are looking to bulk up then you need to do more focussed workouts (eg a day for chest / tri's, back bi's, shoulders, etc. of heavy weight with low reps).
Same thing with the legs, all the running and biking will be great for toning them, but its very important not to neglect your legs. too many people do that. your legs are where most of your testosterone is stored. working out your legs more will help you overall as well.
at any rate, this is a good starting routine to get into the swing of things, and will help get you toned up.

Yep...and if you just getting into lifting...stay away from the supersets for now. If your looking to bulk up, and from it sounds like you are, keep on the heavy's and away from the 25 rep sets. Don't pass up squats, deadlifts, and leg press's for running. Keep up the cardio, but keep in mind the weights also. Switch up dumbells with the machines also. I'd throw another tri routine in with all those bicep routines...they give you the over all size look in your arms. Maybe some over the head tri extentions.
