I am currently doing a three day workout on my first day I do chest and triceps,day 2 back and biceps day three legs and shoulders. I also do ab work each day. Is this a good workout or should I change what body parts I work together?

This is the routine that TEXASAMM put me on.
Shoulders and Triceps
Back
Rest
Chest and Biceps
Legs
Rest
Rest
He told me that I needed to do them in this order because when I do legs because of the squats and deadlifts I am also working my back, so I needed to put a few days in between the two.
Just thought I would let you know the way I am doing it now.

Routines really need to be tailored for whatever your needs are. If you are first starting out it is good to get into a routine that 1. you will follow 2. that consists of plenty of compound movements--like squats, deads, benching etc.

I do:

Back, bis
chest, tris
Legs
shoulders, abs, calves

I alternate heavy days with light days each routine and because I have a lame ass gym I get frickin plenty of days off.

You will find that everyone likes to do it a slightly different way. You have to find what works well for you. Make sure you are planning rest days as well.

My current split:
Day 1 - Legs
Day 2 - Shoulder/bi/abs
Day 3 - Cardio (rest)
Day 4 - Chest/tri/abs
Day 5 - Back/calves
Day 6 - rest
Day 7 - rest

I try to squeeze in 2 more 30 m cardio sessions wherever I can. And currently I'm experimenting training one week heavy, one week light.

I never do chest triceps the same day. I would rather do chest/biceps, and back/triceps so that the bis and tris are fresh and ready to be hammered. They get too fatigued if you do chest then tri, or back then bi.

I do my chest with shoulders
legs only
back and traps
and a bi/tri day
