I'm doing these 8 excercises monday,tuesday Rest Wednesday back on thursday and friday and rest on fridays doing 3 sets of 10 reps for each excersice. Is this a good workout program??

If so recommend what i should change and such
 
abs and lower back? any cardio?

everyone on here will probably say that you shouldn't have 2 days workout together, rest between them blah blah, but i reckon as long as your not sore the next day at all and no signs of overtraining go for it. everyones different.
 
Soreness is not indication of how hard you worked your muscles. You could be going all your lifting wrong, and be sore and you can also be doing everything right and not be sore.

Never work the same muscle groups two days in a row. Muscles don't grow in the gym, they grow during your rest phase.

Zan is right, everyone is different, but basic biomechanics and kinesiology can not be argued.

I would add pullups and cable row; or some variation thereof.
 
you know this "biomechanics and kinesiology" you speak of. is that just for bodybuilding? strength? or endurance? because doing some activity every day does something (endurance?).

and people who work lifting heavy weights every day like some kind of lumberjack, they are massive, but dont really rest.
can you explain further??

much appreciated

People like lumber jacks etc are doing functional movements that do not target any specific muscle group. Whether they do it every day or not, basic kinesiology is that muscle needs to rest in order to grow.

Cardio can be done everyday, but as a trainer i even reco. against going more than 2 days in a row. The average person is not a lumberjack, and they hard target their muscles in the gym and just pound on them.

When you lift your chest, the muscle is traumatized (meaning torn open). When the trauma heals, the muscle heals stronger and bigger. If the muscle is not given a chance to heal, it will not grow nearly as quickly.
 
but i want to be a lumberjack.
