I just changed from working out upper body three days a week and lower body 2 days a week to Monday - triceps, forearms, biceps. Tuesday - back, abs. Wendesday - chest, shoulders. Thurseday - Legs. Is that plan good or should I change anything around??

I find that working opposites on the same day works best. And alternating between the each muscle group during exercise.

My workout is like this.

Day1
Chest + Back
Bench Press
Bent Over Rows
Incline Dumbell Press
Pulldowns to Front
Flys
Iso Rows

Day2
Theighs+Calves
Squats
Standing Calf Raise (Or Leg Press Calf Raise)
Romanian Dead Lift
Seated Calf Raise
Leg Extensions

Day3
Biceps/Triceps
Barbell Curl
French Press
Incline Dumbell Curl
Rope Pulldowns

Day4
Shoulders + Traps
Military Press
Barbell Shrugs
Laterals
Dumbell Shrugs
Bent Over Lats
Plate Raises

Doing it like this allows lactic acid to shift between the muscles, so when you do the next set for that muscle, its far more recovered. Also, I try to not to put muscle groups that are affected by other work outs too close. EX: I usually have 2-3 days between pects and biceps. I also put Bis/Tris after leg day because Theighs are such a large muscle and require far more to recover, while arms are typically your smallest muscle groups.

Edit: Grammar mistake.
