@ph468 I would recommend since you wrote you were new to the gym that you have at least 2 rest days and that you go for a upper lower split instead of trying to make your own workout plan. After working out for a bit you should start implementing exercises where you want to see more progress or where you feel your muscles are behind.
 
@ph468 It's a solid workout plan! Need to add exercises for abs too.

i suggest, that you add Calf raises on Saturday as well.
Also adding Leg Presses, Leg extensions etc would be great. Because, as it stands, in your present workout you only have Back Squats for growing your quads.

Also, since you're a beginner, you can cut down to 3 sets in most of your workouts. Just be consistent with this, and as you gain experience, you'll get to know what works better for you, what to add/subtract, which muscle groups are lagging in your case etc.
