WAAAAAY too much IMO. Where did you get that routine from? Flex or somewhere like that?

I'd drop to something like a 5x5 if your goal is a combination of size and strength. If you are looking for size then maybe look at a 2 or 3 x 8-12 depending on your ability to recover.

As a rule of thumb do 3 exercises (9 sets max) for large muscle groups and 2 exercises (max 6 set) for smaller. If you are adding weight to the bar each week its working. If it doesn't work trying changing the amount of sets you are doing and remember to swap

Deads and Chins are always a good addition to any routine if you can do them safely.

What is your diet like?
