Default Advice on Routine

okay so I've put together a routine that I hope is good. I need to work on my speed,endurance, and strength. I also ned to add some size but that I think is not much of a priority at this point for me, I'd rather get ripped first then proceed from there. Heres the workout that I'm gonna follow for the next little while, gonna start taking JKD soon since bruce lee is one of my heros, and would love his physique and strenght but wiht more muscle.Plus I like the philosophy behind it.Offer any advice, especially pertaining to abs because that is something that I' have struggled with for a long time.
And let me know if this is too much

workout begins with stretching/ 5 mins of skipping, and shoulder rotations/shrugs with lite dumbells
sets of 3 x 15 reps 30-60 second rest
day1
back
barbell pullovers
lying dumbell rows
goodmorning
biceps
barbell curl
reverse barbell curl

day2
legs
squat
stiff leg deadlift
calf raise
shoulder
military press

day 3

chest
bench press
incline dumbell press
dumbell flies
triceps
tricep extensions
kickbacks

everyworkout finishes off with forearms
wrist curls supersetted with reverse wrist curls
followed by forearm twists
abs reverse crunches, followed by crunches, oblique crunches
and then a run/jog to cool down

tuesday/saturday plyometric work

thur/sun/ flexibility/ and some lite isometric work (bodyweight only for now)

diet(not carved in stone, cheat day sunday)
protein shake w/soy milk and 5 g glutamine
1 hour later workout followed by gatorade w/ 5 g glutamine and multivitamin
cereal 2 boiled eggs some fruit juice(v8)
turkey sandwhich w/ soy milk
chicken/fish salad and a piece of fruit
tuna or pb sandwhich or zone bar
dinner is something lite

aiming for a gram of protein per bodyweight(160) and twice that in carbs(320), fat I dont
measure

I don't know enough to criticise your routine but I like to do flexibility stuff every day, nothing too heavy of course incase I overstretch.

You could also make sure that the last set for each area of muscle you do is high intensity ie. just do reps till failure, then pause a few seconds, then do another rep or two. It does make your muscles tender afterwards for a few days and I wouldn't do it without at least 2/3 days rest inbetween but it does beef you up a lot and recruit a lot more muscle fibres. I did a few weeks of high intensity work, only doing it 2/3 times a week and it made a noticable difference already.

And you might wanna throw in some pressups (biceps/chest) and underarm pressups (triceps/forearms) :P

You got a nice variety of exercises there, when you want to increase your size/strength just add more weight and do less reps. What you're doing now will be great for muscle endurance.

As for the diet, looks good to me. TUNA TUNA TUNA! Can't beat Tuna The shit is almost pure protein, hardly any fat at all.

Thanks for the reply, Yeah I am definately going to be doing flexibilty stuff everyday its just that those days are more focused on that, and yeah the plan for now is to get cut I wanna see that 6pack of mine and once I gain more speed and endurance I will begin to add size. I know its bad to compare yourself to someone but Ive always been amazed by the physiques of Bruce and Brandon Lee, especially in the crow.

Bruce's physique is a very inspiring one but damn hard to achieve. The easiest way to increase your strength is to just put on muscle mass, Bruce was skinny and he still had amazing power. I'm sure his genes helped though.
