Your workout regimen

All of those routines will increase your numbers on bench, dl, squat, increasing strength. They will take a long time for you to get shredded.

Best way to get aesthetic is hypertrophy training. Bigger muscles burn more calories than stronger muscles you will lose fat faster. It will take a long time to develop super strength though

If your fat then you need to get that shit out of here. Your softness matters more to girls/employers/clients/the gram more than your bench numbers. my .02

You don't need to bother with complex routines, programming or cycling given you're still a novice.

Until you start to hit a plateau and move into intermediate strength level aim for linear gains via simple training. I'd recommend Starting Strength or Stronglifts, 3 to 5 times a week.

I'd also add Hiit and/or regular cardio to help expend more calories esp. on your rest days.

And toss in some accessory exercises if you have time and energy, variety is nice, but don't go overboard at the expense of your main lifts. (pull-ups, rowing, bit of abs, face-pull, incline DB)

Don't overthink this, the time wasted on premature optimization is lost on lifting or growing other areas of your life.

Once linear gains in strength stall, start investigating programming, or mix-and-match with more hypertrophy moves depending on goals. That'll be months away.

Also as a sidenote, Motivation is nothing. It's that good feeling you have in the beginning, and it'll fade. The only reliable engine you'll ever have is self-discipline. Maybe you know all that already, but just in case, that's the epiphany that got me 80lbs down, from couch potato to strong guy. Take responsibility, forget feelgood motivation, hit the iron because that's who you choose to be.

Best of luck man.

5x5 is what I see recommended to start with most frequently. I've also heard good things about the programs on bodybuilding.com.

Either 5x5 or 5-3-1 would be a good starting point for strength programs for beginners and intermediates. Check out more info on /r/Fitness or if you want more strength specific /r/powerlifting

5x5 for beginners.
