How's my workout routine?

Hello! I am a beginner at strength training. I browsed the internet a lot (videos/articles etc.) and put together this routine for myself. I work out at my home (with limited equipment) and each of these workouts takes me 1.5 hours on average. I feel that this might a little too much, but I am worried about skipping muscles if I reduce this. I am describing it here along with sets, reps and the weight I used last for each exercise. So please, tell me what you think of it, nice people at r/workouts.

Male, age 23, 176 cm, 61 kg

  • Saturday: CARDIO

So, is there any way to reduce the time required for these workouts without compromising on quality? Here's the equipment I have at home:
  • A bar (5 kg) which can hold a maximum of 45 kgs
  • A few Weight plates
  • Adjustable dumbbell rods (hold maximum 20 kgs each)
  • A bench with decline and incline, though the incline is at a stupid angle and difficult to work with
I cannot do a lot of weight on the squats for example because I do not have a squat rack. So please keep these limitations in mind.

Any comments are appreciated. Thanks a lot!
