Good Morning everyone.

I used to lift back in high school and was never really too in shape. things happened , I gained weight and now am back in shape and ready to go. I have started a " Total Body " workout that looks like this:

Dumbell Bench Press- 3 sets ( 8-10 reps)

Cross Body Curls- 3 sets ( 10 reps )

Y Press- 3 sets ( 10 reps)

Romanian Deadlift- 5 sets ( 12,10,8,6,4)

Seated Overhead Tricep Extension- 4 sets ( 12 , 10 , 8, 6 )

Hammer Curls- 3 sets ( 12, 10, 8)

Leg Press- 3 sets ( 10 reps )

One Arms Front Dumbell raise - each arm - 4 sets (12, 10, 8 ,6 )

dumbbell deadlift and upright row - 3 sets ( 10 , 8, 6)

woodchopper - 3 sets ( 15,12, 10)

incline bench press- 3 sets ( 8 to 10 reps )

scarecrow ( tricep workout ) - 3 sets ( 8 to 10 )

squat and shrug - 3 sets ( 10 reps )

machine chest press - 4 sets ( 12 , 10 , 8 , 6 )

Hanging Leg Raise- 4 sets ( 10 , 10, 15 , 15 )

Are you kidding? 40+ sets plus crunches in one day? It seems you've just thrown everything + the kitchen sink in there and called it a day, lol You will be overtrained by the end of the first week.

Try reading here, it's god solid training, you will get strong and put on size, or loose fat depending on your diet.

yea way way too much stuff stick to: bench, deads, squat, military press, and rows .. start at the basics then throw in some of those more specialized exercises.
