Advice on my routine in general

wobblyknees

Having recently grabbed the bull by the horns again, I am now in the gym at least six times a week.

My routine is like this at the minute:

Day 1: Shoulders/Arms/Cardio (30 mins)
Day 2: Abs/Legs/Cardio (30 Mins)
Day 3: Chest/Back/Cardio (30 Mins)
Day 4: Rest
Day 5: Shoulders/Arms/Cardio (30 mins)
Day 6: Abs/Legs/Cardio (30 Mins)
Day 7: Chest/Back/Cardio (30 Mins)

For every excercise I am aiming for at least 3 sets of up to 12 reps. I am increasing the weight each time. On Shoulders, Chest, Back and legs, I aim to do the first excercise for at least 5 sets. I am always trying to make sure I lift properly, with the correct muscles, and I never go for a weight that's too high. I generally take a 60 sec break in between each set.

My main aims at the minute are:

Burn fat
Tone up
Build strength
Build stamina

My long term goals are:

Build muscle
Build strength

My questions are this:

Should I adjust the combinations of excercises to get the most out of each day?
I would like to start doing squats and deadlifts. Where should I slot these in and what is the best way to get started and make sure I am doing them properly?
Does anyone have any criticisms in general of what I am doing?

Is there any point in doing 4-6 reps if at the minute I am doing lots of cardio?
