Newbie looking to get cut..any help appreciated!

[MD2000]

Whats going on guys and girls, first of all I wanted to say whats up and thanks in advance..I've been checking out this forum for awhile and finally decided to register. Hopefully you guys can help me out..

Age: 17
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 155 lbs.
Body fat: Around 15%

I have been on a routine for awhile, but people that I know have told me its not a good routine:

Day 1: Run for 30 minutes; do three sets of 15 of three different stomache excercises.
Day 2: 2 Chest Excercises: On my 1st set, I do 12, 2nd 10, 3rd 8, 4th 6, 5th, 12 again. After that I do 12 of another chest excercise. Same goes for Shoulders, Upperback and Calfs which I also do on that day. I end by doing 3 sets of 12 of a stomache excercise.
Day 3: Once again run for 30 minutes; do three sets of three different stomache excercises.
Day 4: Same as Day 2, except I do Biceps, Triceps, Quads, and Hamstring as well as the stomache.

Then I repeat it..Sunday is my free day..meaning no excercise..and basically I can eat anything..on other days of the week I try to eat a minimum of fatty foods, and try to bulk up on protein (occasionally take protein shakes as well)

I'm pretty much just trying to get cut up, develop abs..and possibly even get a little bigger in the process. Anyone wanna reccomend me a better routine, diet, etcetera. Any and all reccomendations appreciated.

Thanks!

I use Needsizes 5x5 routine... check it out above...
You only need to workout 4 days a week and you will probably put on some mass as well since you are a beginner.

Biggest thing for getting ripped tho is taking in less calories then you exert...

go sign up at fitday.com (its free) and you can calculate your caloric usage.

Try taking in Bodyweight x 12 (Basal Metabolic Rate) - 500 calories a day.. this will help you lose around 1 lb a week.

1g carb= 4 calories
1g pro = 4 calories
1g fat = 9 calories

Im kinda buzzin on caffeine right now, so if any of that didnt make sense.. let me know and I'll elaborate.
