It's difficult to tell without your training goals, but you state "heavy lifting routine", so I'm going to assume you are trying to build muscle mass. I would suggest adding squats and leg extensions to your leg day, as these will help release natural testosterone in your body.

I would also suggest isolating pull and push movements on separate days. Starting with the bigger muscle, you would do something like Chest/Triceps on day one, and then Back/Biceps day 3. Here's an example of what I mean.

And a whole day for abs? really? That's just overkill, and if you are looking to get a six-pack, you ain't gonna get it by doing a full day's ab workout. You'll get much better core results by training your quads and lower back and doing cardio on that day than by dedicating an entire day to abs.
