Routine looks great for a begginer. A few suggestions; On your shoulder day add some rear delt work like reverse machine flys or bent over reverse flys. Also, in the 'fitness faq' forum there is a thread called 'workout programs'. In that thread is an abs porgram called 'awsome abs'.. check that out. Finally. getting good abs is all about diet. The saying is 'abs are made in the kitchen'. If you havent already get your diet in order. Check out these two articles for some basic diet info...
