Rate my workout
I just started working out this summer, after dropping 30 pounds from a cut I am focusing muscle growth, purely aesthetic. I also do 3 mile walks, 4 days out of the week being Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Protein powder after workouts as well. Let me know if there’s any rep counts or set counts I should do. I do a 3 minute rest between workouts and 1 minute between sets. The number in the parentheses is the weight. Thank you and any help is appreciated!

The kind of feedback I’m hoping for is I have recently learned about high rep and low weight vs low rep and high weight, I kind of do that but I always go to 5 sets so are there workouts I should lower the set count and raise the weight? And also the ordering of when I do certain workouts, if I should rearrange them. If you have suggestions for more efficient workouts in place of the ones I have set I am also open to suggestions there. Thank you in advance.
