The only two muscle I've left out are traps & forearms because hopefully they'll get hit hard with other exercises.
I'm doing high reps (10) for arms & isolations, and low reps (6) for compounds
And it's sort of like Bench on Monday, Squats on Wednesday & Deadlifts on Friday so the big lifts are a couple days apart from each other
How does it look?
Monday - Chest, Biceps & Abs
3 x 6 Incline Bench Presses
3 x 6 Flat Bench Presses
3 x 10 Flat Chest Flyes
3 x 10 Barbell Curls
3 x 10 Hammer Curls
3 x 12 Weighted Crunches
3 x 12 Ab Machine Or Rope Crunches
Tuesday - Off
Wednesday - Legs & Shoulders
3 x 6 Squats
3 x 6 SLDL's
3 x 15 Standing Calf Raises
3 x 6 Seated Barbell Military Presses
3 x 10 Bent Over Rear Delt Raises
3 x 10 Side Lateral Raises
Thursday - Off
Friday - Back, Triceps & Abs
3 x 6 Weighted Pull-Ups
3 x 6 Deadlifts
3 x 6 Bent Over Barbell Rows
3 x 10 Flat Close-Grip Bench Presses
3 x 10 Overhead EZ Bar Extensions
3 x 12 Weighted Crunches
3 x 12 Ab Machine Or Rope Crunches

Changes is caps, if it works for you keep it, it looks pretty solid, these are just they changes i would make. I would also say to alter reps between 6-12 for every lift, not just use one ammount.

Why only train your muscle groupings once a week? I only ask because I do the following and really don't know if it is better or worse:
M/Th
Chest, Tris, Shoulders, Abs
W/Sun
Light Cardio (just running)
T/Fr
Back, Bis, Legs, Traps, Abs
All the exercises and reps are about the same though I do 4 sets X 8 reps. Just trying to figure out if there is a "better" concept than what I'm doing.

Depending on how many sets you do per muscle, intensity, diet, hours you sleep, and how long it takes for YOUR body to heal with all of those factors, is how frequent you need to train a muscle. Everyone is different, and everyone has to figure it out for themselves. There is no set way.
