After looking it over the very first thing I see is that you are not giving yourself enough time to rest. You are either lifting weights and doing cardio or just doing cardio. You need at least one full day off minimum. Your body grows not when you are working out but when you are resting and rest is as important as lifting and cardio and nutrition. Some of the exercises for certain bodyparts are kind of similar like on chest day you finish with flyes and then cable crossovers which basically are quite similar. I would prefer to see you do a decline press and eliminate either a fly or crossover. You are also doing an awful lot of sets and you are going to either tire out or end up not giving certain bodyparts the intensity they deserve. I would suggest and mind you it is just a suggestion but a routine like this: Monday: chest & triceps and abs; Tuesday: back and biceps; Wednesday: cardio and abs; Thursday: quads; Friday: delts and abs; Saturday: hams and calves; Sunday: Off. If you wish more info or wish to discuss my thoughts further feel free to give me a yell.
