Perhaps a very standard response, but for a newbie I would stick to a simple plan: 5x5 Stronglifts or Starting Strenght.

I have no idea how you setup this program as well.

Edit: you didnt give us any data to work with. What is your age, length, current weight, current maintenance calories, daily activity (office job/school/etc)

And most important: what is your goal.

Edit2: Personally I think you are in the wrong sub for this specific question.

Start with the Stronglifts 5x5, then branch out from there once you max out your gains.

I personally hated stronglifts and starting strenght. Your program looks a little harder version of what I've been doing.

Day A: Squats 3x8, Bench 3x8, Row 3x8, Some ab work, Some facepulls

Day B: Press 3x8, Deadlift 2x8, Chin Ups 3max, Bi Curl 3x10, Tricep ext 3x10

Doesn't look like much volume, but it gets hard once the weight starts to get high. Copy if you want.

Do it three times a week. Alternate the days. Add weight every time you are able to do the reps. Deload when you fail three times in a row.

Stronglifts 5x5 simplest and most effective

Can you already do 4X10 chin ups and pull ups?

I’d start out on this until your body gets used to the training (probably about 4 weeks or so) and then move to PLL, or stronglifts.

Do Strong Lifts 5x5 for 4-5 months, (or plateauing heavily) Then go PHAT(Power Hypertrophy Upper Lower)

Or you can go SL 5x5 -->Grey Skull LP begginner Variant > PHAT After that, feel free to switch up programs every 6 months or so.

I did SL 5X5(4months) >Push Pull Legs(6 months) > Grey Skull(10months) >Phat(Now)
