not enough rest?

[GQSuperman]

just wondering if people could chime in on whether my current workout is allowing my muscle enough recovery time. everything is 4 sets of 8 unless other wise noted. i sometimes switch this up to 5 sets of 5 or 3 sets of 10. is my break too long?

Monday
Chest (incline db and either flat db or decline bb, along with a fly movement)
abs (3sets of 20 weight sit ups.....3 sets of 20 twists)

Tuesday
back (wide grip pullups to 50, bent overor t bar rows, deadlifts )

Wednesday
shoulders (db or bb presses, lateral flies or upright rows)
triceps (skullcrusher or french press, pushdowns)

Thursday
Legs (leg press, straightleg deadlifts, calves) will alternate leg ext/curl
abs (cable crunches and leg lifts)

Friday
off (usually headed out of town)

Saturday
abs

Sunday
gym closed

any suggestions on how to change this if it need fixing?

Doesnt look too bad because you basically have a 3 day rest (the ab workout on saturday isnt gonna blast your body like other workouts)....It all depends on how you feel....Honestly I would take one of those days of rest and throw it in between your week so it would look something like this:
Sun:gym closed
Mon:chest/abs
Tues:Back
Wed:OFF/or just abs
Thurs:Shoulders/Triceps
Fri:Legs/abs
Sat:OFF

This will give you enough time to rest...If you go out of town on Friday and dont have time to hit the gym, then hit the legs on saturday, you will still have all day sunday to recover....whatever works for you...but i think this split will give you enough time to rest

mon-chest
tues-back
wed-delts

Would heavily overtrain delts. I personally wont do any upperbody workouts for at leat 3-4 days after chest. MY chest would be way to sore to do back the day after chest, however i can train back the day after delts/tris but i will put a day in between them whenever i can and i almost always do.

[NeedPaintoGain]

I agree with Ironload, I would prefer doing back before chest...I was just taking his current routine and putting it in my split...But yes, I would change back first then chest

[Fit2bLarge]

Workout looks good. very similar to mine. whats the reasoning for doing back before chest?

[ChefJ]

this is my basic routine just for reference:
day1 chest bis
day2 back tris
day3 calves hams forearms abs
day4 shoulders
day5 quads abductor adductor
day6 calves hams forearms abs.
cardio 4 days a week @ 400 300 400 300 kcals

i do back the day after chest everybodys body is different

[NeedPaintoGain]

Fit2BLarge, I just do back first because when I do chest first, Im very sore the next day, and it bothers me when I do back because of the tension....I use very heavy weight with back (its my strongest bodypart) and it just annoys me and takes my concentration away from my workout....just a preference

The main question is do you feel like you are resting enough? If no, what days do you feel that way? I agree with NeedPaintoGain that it would be better to split the days of rest instead of working 4 days then basically having 3 off. Are you able to work your back shoulders and tris really well or do you feel you should rest more. I need a few days off of upper body after working my chest too so I do quads/calves the day after chest then take a day off then the next day work upper body.

btw... when do you work bis I don't see them in your routine?

Just to give you an idea, heres my workout:
MON: Chest/Tris
TUE: Quads/Calves/Abs
WED: Rest
THU: Back/Bis
FRI: Shoulders/Hams
SAT: Heavy Cardio (HIIT)/Abs
SUN: Rest
