Question by J: How is this workout schedule?
Please keep in mind i don't know the specific names / machines in the gym so I'll describe it best to my ability. If you know the name please correct me. Also, if you'd like to add a specific exercise to one of the muscle groups, please do so as new exercises always helps.

Monday 2:30pm - Biceps
-Bicep Curls
-Chin Ups (10 sets of 3 or 3 x 10 with assisted---Which do you recommend)
-Lat Pull down (There's a metal bar hanging over your head where you pull it down while you sit)
-Concentrated Bicep Curls
-Bicep rows (Where you sit down, and pull weight/machine towards your body)

Tuesday
Chest + tricep
-Chest Push (Sitting down, pushing machine with arms)
-Using freeweights I imitate benchpressing motion.
-Pushups
-The machine where you sit down, and push inward like this (starts like \/ then ends /\)
-Pull Ups
-One arm dumbbell rows

Wednesday
Lower back and Back
-Barbell bent rows
-Barbell deadlifts
-The same machine for the tricep workout except backwards V

Thursday
Legs & shoulders
-Burnouts
-Shoulder press
(I don't know too many leg / shoulder workouts aside from lunges / squats)

Full Upper Body

Saturday

Where should I throw in cardio? I want to do 3/7 days at least for a 30-45 minute jog-run for 1-2 miles, and increasing as I get more in shape
For ab exercises, I'm thinking of just doing crunches-- 10 sets of 20, and leglifts.

I'm currently a senior in high school, 6'0" and weigh around 167lbs at the age of 17. What would you recommend for the 6 meals a day, since I can't really eat during school hours when lunch is @ 12:00.
Please, focus more on the schedule I layed out. I need people that actually know what they're talking about helping my schedule and I.


Best answer:
i would add cardio everyday that you exercise plus add some of the things you said
