Planning my exercises

Planning my workout

Ok here is my setup

Mon- Chest/Biceps
Tue- Cardio/Abs
Wed- Back/Triceps
Thu- Cardio/Abs
Fri- Legs/Shoulders

I have a very healthy diet started/planned, i just need some help decided which exercises would be best to start with. Should i change the entire set-up or is that good? I dont want to be over working certain areas and leaving others needing more.

My cardio consists of a 5-6 mile run(The Army got me to where i dont mind).

How much time should i spend on Abs, and should i do them before or after the run?

I appreciate all the help!

Edit- The equipment i have is a bench w/ leg attachment, barbell, curl bar, olympic weight set, and i currently only have 25lbs dumbells(lookin at getting some more)
I was able to get all of this for free from a family member that bought it and didnt use it:)

Ok, with a split like that, I assume you're not brand new to weight training?

Assuming that is the case, your split is reasonable. The key to any good routine is using compound lifts as your meat & potatoes, and isolation moves for dessert. Are you hungry yet? ;)

Monday: bench press (both BB & DB, incline/flat and some decline), dips, flyes - hammer curls, and other curling moves for bi's.
Wednesday: pull-ups (wider, pronated grip mostly), deadlifts, barbell rows, seated rows, shrugs - close grip bench, skullcrushers (a.k.a. french press) tricep extensions and pressdowns
Friday: SQUATS, use leg extensions to warm up the knees if you like, leg curls (seated or standing), lunges, calf raises - military press, lateral raises, bent over raises
