Here is a breakdown of my lifting schedule… Is this an effective workout sched?
Monday - Shoulders, abs, cardio (15 min before/15 min after)
Tues - Back, Abs, Cardio
Wed- Legs
Thurs - off
Friday - Abs, Cardio
Sat - Chest, abs, cardio
Sun - Bi's, tri's and forearms.
Each week I try to change it up a bit, so not to get into any ruts… and just recently started drinking whey protein, to aid in the muscle building… been doing this for about 5 years…. should I change anything???

Typically it is suggested to give your muscles 48 hours of recovery time after a workout. So it is usually good to schedule by muscle sets and alternate on a three day schedule.
Your schedule doesn't look bad… perhaps break up the double days of Abs, but otherwise good.

Your workout looks good. Everything is spaced out good so your not really working the same muscles 2 days in a row. Switching it up like you said is good. I do the same thing. I go some weeks where I only work one muscle per day (similar to yours) but some weeks I work 2 per day like Chest-Shoulders then Back-Legs and then Arms-Abs. Maybe you can try that sometime to.
Overall it looks good and taking protein helps to. I dont take any now but I have before.
I have been lifting seriously for 5 years and I love it. Good luck!
