Thats way too much. The beauty of full body routines is that you use big “money” exercises such as deadlift, squat, bench, rows, pulls, presses, and maybe some light direct arm work. You include in your routine many isolation exercises, which are not as effective as the bigger exercises and have a limited role in full body programs. Look at Waterbury’s stuff for template programs, he wrote an article a little while back on how to design your own full body routines.
Yes to much take all that and split it up into three days or so like above said with the main concentration of the BIG lifts then a few assistance exercises. You dont have or want to do EVERYTHING in one day the latter exercises will suffer and not get the attention deserved
Yes, too much. Most people especially once you build up a level of strength and intensity can only handle 4-7 tough exercises in a workout, more than that and some of them have to be just supplemental stuff. If you want to try total body try Waterbury’s Total Body Training which will get you started in the right direction.

Only 45 sets? Come on guy. You should be doing at least 70. And I LIKE the absence of leg training. Cool. Are you at university? Living in a frat house perhaps?
All good responses. Where are the squats and deads? Replace the laterals, rear cable flyes, upright rows and shrugs with clean and presses.
Why not alternate chest exercises and only do one movement per workout? I would also cut the biceps work to 2-3 total sets and add some triceps work such as close grips, parallel bar dips or triceps extensions.
You could even cut the number of chinup/pullup sets if you use some added weight. Your routine is too much upper body and isolation work.

What’s wrong with fraternities? Not being an american, I’m curious about this.
