@nldctonc I don’t really get the point of this. Too much is wrong for me to ask questions.

Determine your goals and find a trusted program that will help you hit those goals. There are hundreds online. Post your goals here and we can help narrow it down.
 
@nldctonc While it doesn’t generally matter much which routine you follow, it’s still important that you do follow a structured routine. It’s always better to defer to existing, proven routines that came from experienced professionals than it is to try to reinvent the wheel – at best you’ll come up with something equivalent, but more likely you’ll come up with something worse. You can read more about this in the Importance of Having a Program section of the Adding Physical Activity page.

A list of reliable, quality routines that r/Fitness and r/weightroom users commonly recommend can be found on the Recommended Routines – Strength Training / Muscle Building page.

@nldctonc Did you write this yourself?

To start, biking isn't a good warm-up for a full body workout.

Secondly, all of your weights don't make sense. 250 kg is not 110 lbs.

However, the weight isn't relevant at all, and it should be written as a percentage of your 1 rm or as RPE. It makes zero difference to somebody looking at your program if you can bench press 100 lbs or 1000lbs without knowing if 100 lbs is heavy for you.

You haven't written the progressive overload into this program, so I assume you just up the weight whenever you feel?

Without knowing your goals, it's impossible to say much more. Although, in general, it's a big workout that's extremely redundant. You don't need to do chest press, bench press, and I assume dumbbell press as dumbbell alone isn't an exercise. Lots of focus on push and pull here, but no single leg, no hinge, so it's definitely missing things even considering the length. Assuming you do the same thing every workout.

What's the reason for not just following an already built program?
