How many push ups and sit ups should I do?

How many push ups, sit ups, pull ups, bench dips should I do a day?

  • Ok so I'm 194 lbs 6 feet tall. My body fat is somewhere inbetween 12-13.5% I want to lose 5% body fat. I lift weights 3-4 days a week working out all parts of my body and do cardio on my off days. Here's my routine. Mon- Chest, shoulders, triceps Tue- Non lift day but I run stairs at a football stadium for an hour going up and down 40 times. Wed- Biceps and back. Thu-Non lift, run stairs Fri-Chest Shoulders, Triceps Sat- non lift, cardio at gym Sun- biceps and back Next mon- Non lift day, stairs. So I lift either chest shoulders and triceps or back and bicep every other day to allow recovery. So what days would be a good time to do push ups, sit ups/crunches, bench dips, pull ups and chin ups? I have a pull up/chin up bar in my door do I can do them at home and also a bench for bench dips. What days should I do what exercises though and how many sets of how many reps? I don't want to overtrain my muscles and hurt them from growing. And suggestions would be appreciated thanks:)
