That said, to lose fat, you need to be in caloric deficit. That is, you need to expend more calories than you ingest.
To add muscle, you need to be in caloric surplus: take in more than you are using.
What are your goals? To me, your workout will give you muscle stamina, but not much more strength or size; the reps are too many.

Sorry for replying so late but it is just crazy here.
So what you are saying is to reduce the number of reps if I want to see muscle increase?
In regards to my diet I try to reduce the amount of carbs I am eaten, I don't really eat junk food, maybe pizza every 10 days or so.
Do you guys think I should switch back to the "body-for-life" workout where you do a whole body work out 2-3 times a week? Like I said, I want to become more defined and I think my ideal weight is 175lbs, so roughly 10 more to loose.
Thanks again for all your help.
