day1- chest, triceps(kinda), and biceps (3 exercises, and this is the smallest muscle you work on that day)
day2-shoulders, back, and a little bicep again.
day3- looks A ok.

my suggestion if you want a 3 day split, go with push pull legs. organize all the exercises you want to do into those categories. push/pull/legs = shoulders,chest,tris/back,bis/legs. start from the exercises that incorporate the most muscle groups, down to the isolated ones. i know everyone likes big biceps, but try to stay proportional with your lifting :)
 
I see, why do biceps 2 days in a row though? How many sets / reps = a little?
Another question, is doing push-ups everyday along with this routine good? Or should I just do them every other day?
 
bloc,
you didn't read mreik's post right.
push day: chest, tris, shoulders
pull day: back, biceps
leg day: quads, hams, calves

biceps aren't two days in a row. toss in abs 2-3 times a week. 2-3 sets of crunches, reverse crunches, and oblique moves

sorry that was unclear. the part at the top is what you're currently doing, just showing you how it looks bad when you break it down.. give the push/pull/legs a try, works great for me and many others!
