Split routine check

Ive decided to move from a Full body 3 day a week routien, to a 5 day split routine. What are good muscle group splits?

Day 1: Bicep/Back
Day 2: Tricep/Chest
Day 3: Abs/Calves
Day 4: Shoulders/Quads
Day 5: Glutes/Forearms/Neck

Would this be a good way to do it, 5 days in a row say from monday to friday?

Also how many excersises should i be doing for each muscle group and should I alternate the excersise between the msucle groups or do for example on Day 1 all biceps excersises first and then all back excersises?
 
Can I ask why you are not doing full body anymore?

I only question because that split seems kinda weird in some parts. Day 3 for example, you are only doing abs and calves, just seems like a waste of time to go to the gym to work those. Also, with legs, how can you isolate just quads on Day 4, and then hit glutes and hams on Day 5. The only way to really do that would be isolation, which you surely don't want to do.

Again, I'm just curious as to why you are switching from a full body...
 
I'm with Mark. I tend to recommend against total splits, but if I were to structure one, it would likely look like this:

Monday: Quads, Calves
Tuesday: Chest/Biceps (Maybe Tri's, I tend to mix up the 2ndary mover that I include on chest/back days))
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: Back/Triceps (Maybe Bi's)
Friday:Off
Saturday: Hamstrings/Shoulders

However, I'm an upper/lower split proponent...this way you spread the volume out, tend not to overtrain, and avoid giving your muscles too much rest.
