Honestly I say this a ridiculous amount of volume and frequency for strength but what ever works for you.
The nature of strength & power routines require low overall volume to succeed. The schedule you suggest is volume dominant and does not appear to be designed with ‘strength & power’ as goals. It looks like endurance/frequencey/BF%-reduction plan.
the human body can adapt to most anything if stuck with for long enough.
this “working out/training” thing is all about experimenting with what works for you best.

Adaptation manifests itself in many ways…one athlete training for a marathon & another for a powerlifting meet are both adapting; but in different ways.
It does seem like alot of volume doesn’t it, but if you take into account the set and rep scheme, and the variation of active/passive recovery. But i always get 8 hrs of sleep unless i have to be at the base early for some weird reason. But i agrees from the way i presented it, is alot of volume, but if and when i quit making gains, i will rest for a week withe a refeed day, and then return to smash the when ready.
