Getting back in Shape

I was just wondering if my Routine is going to help or hurt. I used to be a boxer but have been out for 5 years I boxed for 8 years along with wieght train. I am 28 stopped smoking 4 weeks ago I started working out at the same time. I started full body work outs with Cardio. I now am on Cell-tech Whey protien watching my diet but my routine has changed, Is it any good?
Mon: Work Neck, Traps, Shoulders
Tues: Chest, Tricep, Biceps
Wed: Forearms, Abs
Thur: Lats, Middle Back, Lower Back
Fri: Hams, Calves, Quads
Every day I work out I use treadmill and use heavy bag and speed bag along with Skip through the day for approx 1 hour total.
I gained 10 lbs first week (loading stage of Cell-Tech & quitting smoking) now I lost 15 pounds. Any input would help. Thanks

Your routine looks intense! The only thing I would rearrange is lose wednesday forearms, abs (your wandering into the realm of overtraining, bad bad things live there).

Monday looks good

Change tuesday to chest, tris, abs, lower back

wednesday rest

thursday, lats (middle and upper), biceps, abs, and lower back

friday looks fine

Train bis with lats because theyre the secondary muscle worked in Pull ups, rows. Once you do your lats first, your bis will be a whole lot easier to fatigue.

Your core muscles (abs and spinal erectors) need more than one day a weeks work.

Also what is your vital stats? height? weight? Im more curious than anything, and keep me informed please, you've made some great gains so far, keep it up! :D
 
Sorry I forgot Stats, Height is 5' 10" weight is now 210 lbs. Waist is 32 inchs arms are 15 3/4 inchs not sure on chest or shoulders have'nt measured yet. I will try switching my workout next week thanks for the input. I Realized it was a little intense but I love really driving myself. Thanks again.

If you are just getting back into shape and are interested in just improving your fitness level and not training for competition, I would probably alternate a resistance-training day with a cardio-focus day.Ex-Treadmill and bag work on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and resistance training on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.Rest on Sundays.

For the treadmill and bag work, I'd do interval training.For the resistance training, I would do circuit training using different apparatus like freeweights, bodyweight exercises, and medicine ball drills.
