2 much rest
Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, cardio activity and abs. Saturday, rest. Cardio will help trim fat, which will make your muscles more prominent. And nobody wants to be all stacked with flabby abs.
I would change it to this :
Monday: Chest/Triceps
Tuesday: Biceps/Back
Wed : REST
Thursday: Legs/Shoulders
Friday: REST
Saturday: Abdominals
Sunday: REST
Doing some chest exercises, like pushups, use the triceps as well, so it is better to do them on the same day.

Don't forget to do cardio as well. Heart health is a major part of being healthy.
My workout is as follows, just for reference:
Monday: Chest / Triceps / Cardio
Tuesday: Abs / Cardio
Wednesday: Back / Shoulders / Biceps / Cardio
Thursday: Legs / Cardio
Friday: Chest / Triceps / Cardio
Saturday: Abs / Cardio
Sunday: Back / Shoulders / Biceps / Cardio
Cheers!
I would split your chest and back, especially if you are going to do tri/bis the following day.
I do this routine:
Monday: Chest/Triceps
Tues: Rest
Wednesday: Back/Biceps
Thurs: Rest
Friday: Legs
Saturday: Shoulders/Abs
Sunday: Rest
Works well for me, can really concentrate on smashing both Chest and Back in separate workouts.
I wouldn't suggest working Chest and Back on the same day, because they are 2 of your largest muscle groups, and it would be hard for your body to be able to repair 2 massive groups like that at the same time. If you're set on having 4 days of rest, i'd suggest.
Monday - Chest / Tri's
Tuesday - Back / Bi's
Wednesday - Rest
Thursday - Legs / Shoulders.
Fri. - Rest
Sat. - Rest
Sun. - Rest
Personally i think it's kind of a waste to have 3 days of rest together. So ideally a good workout schedule if you've got the time for it would be something like.
Monday - Chest / Abs
Tuesday - Back / Bi's
Wednesday - Rest
Thursday - Shoulders / Tri's
Friday - Legs / Abs
Then the weekends off. This only adds one more day of workout, and its during the week.
This is just one suggestion, There are some good 3 day workout plans, but they usually go Monday, Wed, Friday, and im assuming you had Friday as a rest day because people like to go do stuff on Fridays, and not lift. If you need anymore help or recommendations you can send me an email on here.
Goodluck.
