By wanting to bulk up, I'm assuming that you are performing 3-4 sets of 6-8 reps. This builds muscles mass but may not be exactly what you want. I would encourage you to do more reps with a lesser weight and focus more on time than reps like more of a burst training mentality. For instance, instead of bench press, do push ups for a minute. Start normal, when you cant do any more normal, drop to your knees and continue, when you cant do anymore on your knees, start doing negatives, all until a minutes is up. You may do 20 in a minute or you may do 60, it doesn't matter as long as you are going the entire time. Same thing with your lower body. Instead of stacking a squat bar with weights, use a light weight or even dumbells. Start by hang cleaning the weights dynamically with jumps for 30s and then immediately switch to squats with the same weight for 30s. Once again, not necessarily counting reps but noticing what weight you should be using. You can do the same thing with lunges, pullups (or lat pulls), rows, abs, triceps and biceps, etc. Basically, you can get a great workout and incorparate cardio principles without using any weights. Another thought I would encourage you to try to to mix up your cardio. Instead of running 30 minutes on an elliptical at a medium pace try this. Begin your workout with some kind of warm up (I like 10 minutes on a bike) and then stretch. Start your workout by running 1/2 mile going hard. Then go into your workout. About halfway through, take a break from the workout and go run another 1/2 mile hard. End your workout by doing the same. Now you've ran 1.5 miles which is about what you probably run on a treadmill anyway, but you've done it throughout your normal workout. Tony:

When we go, we do the same workout (of course i go lighter). But we have different goals. He wants to bulk up and turn his fat into muscle. I am overweight, and would like to trim down and tone my body. Am I correct lifting weights like him? Or should I go do my own workout that involves a lot of cardio? What workouts can I be doing to trim down? Me and my cousin have been going to the gym together, and he was once buff, so he is built for it.

The MC type training envolved helps you melt in half the time or less than pretty much any other type. P90X has really helped me shave off some pounds.

Found your site looking for other people talking about this type of workout. I own a personal training studio down in Charleston, SC and have built an entire business model around this very concept. After 20 years in the industry I've found that nothing, and I mean nothing, works better to help people lose weight naturally and achieve optimal health. And this is coming from someone who's done every type of workout routine under the sun. I'd encourage your readers to definitely give it a try. Love your blog by the way.
