My Exercise Plan/Routine - Please Critique!

Hey guys, I am kind of out of shape right now and my desire to build muscle is eclipsed by my need to lose fat. So in short I want to go hard and get a jump start on losing fat and maintaining as much muscle as possible.

I'm 5'11 and 170lbs, 21 yr old male. I have the videos for p90x at my disposal as well as a pull-up bar, a curling bar, a bench, an extra barbell and weights (obviously). I also have 2 25lb dumbbells. As far as my P90X workouts go I can do the following with my equipment:

  • Ab Ripper X (16m)
  • Cardio X (45m)
  • Core Synergenics (1hour)
  • Kenpo X (1 hour)
  • X Stretch (48m)
  • Yoga X (1 hour 30m)
  • Plyometrics X (1 hour)

I want to lose fat so I plan on incorporating a good bit of cardio into my workout everyday. I also want to aim for about 1500-2000 calories and 150g-200g of protein a day. The cornerstone of my protein intake will be my Nature's Best ISOpure protein shake (its got 50g of protein, 220 cals per serving) which I want to drink at least 3 everyday.

Here's my routine.
DAY 1: Back/Chest
  • Bench Press 3x10
  • Standing Row 3x10
  • Pull-up 3x as many as I can do
  • Plyometics X
  • Ab Ripper X

DAY 2: Core/shoulders/lower body
  • Military Press 3x10
  • Dead Lift 3x10
  • Core Synergenics

DAY 3: Arms
  • Bicep Curl 3x10
  • Tricep Nosebreakers 3x10
  • Fore-Arm Wraps
  • Kenpo X
  • Ab Ripper X

DAY 4: Chest/Back
  • Bench Press 3x10
  • Standing Row 3x10
  • Pull-Ups 3x as many as possible
  • X Stretch

DAY 5: Lower body/shoulders
  • Military Press 3x10
  • Dead Lift 3x10
  • Cardio X
  • Ab ripper X

DAY 6: Arms
  • Bicep Curl 3x10
  • fore arm wraps
  • Tricep Nosebreakers 3x10
  • 30 Minute Run

Day 7: Chill....
  • Yoga X

I figure that routine utilizes the equipment I have pretty well and I probably wont need to mix it up for about a month....
Please leave me any feeed back if you can thanks. :D
 
no one replied lol... but i can definately feel im losing fat. weight lifting exercises are now far more strenuous and I dont have as much energy. But I am starting to feel lighter and quicker, I dont think I'm losing too much muscle... just gonna be hard to continue this for too long but I'll wait till my abs develop more...
any tips to stay motivated/maintain higher levels of energy? :|
