Is this a good routine?

I am mixing lifting with abs and cardio, mainly chest/shoulders and abs as I am really strong in the back and legs.

Literally nobody who says this shit is actually strong in the back and legs.

Oh and you didn't even give us your routine, just this vague overview that was less an outline and more a rationalisation of the fact you are too lazy to do squats, deadlifts, rows, and chinups.

Get on a proper beginner's lifting routine. If you have spare time on top of what this takes, that you want to use to get in better shape, pick up a physically taxing hobby, like BJJ or rock climbing.

Why are you gymming twice a day?

I guarantee your gym workouts are horseshit.

Train 3-4x a week and actually get on a proper strength routine.

What is your squat and deadlift 1RM?

When you actually stress your body enough to induce muscle growth your demand for sleep is going to go way up. Make sure to actually go to sleep at 10:30 and not midnight otherwise you won't grow due to insufficient recovery.

Furthermore if you are long term deficient in sleep you risk plunging yourself into a depression.

Sounds random.

Here’s what will happen - you’ll plateau because your programming is zero and the whole idea of programming is to intelligently plan so that you progress with lifts and fat loss/gain.

So you’ll get some results - plateau quickly (due to zero programming strategy) and then probably give up on 1-2 months and become fat.

You mean going to the gym twice? Yes, i used to do that but it wasn't feasible for me personally for long periods of time so i had to cut it back to the good old 5 times a week after i lost a bit of fat. Twice is good as long as you wanna cut fat. For muscles however, you will need rest. If you still insist on going to the gym twice a day. I would recommend
circuit training twice a week with cardio. Don't weight train on circuit days.
