Critique This Please

Hey guys, hope everyone is doin well. I have a new workout I am beginnin that my old wrestling coach gave to me and I was wondering what you guys thought of it. I want to go ahead and specify the way it works. You cannot go up in weight until you have reached the maximum reps in all sets. It goes as follows:

Monday:
Flat Bench Press: 3-5 reps for 4 sets.
Incline Bench: 6-12 reps for 3 sets.
Dumbell Bench: 6-12 reps for 3 sets.
Dumbell Flyes: 40 reps for 2 sets
Pinwheel Curls: 3-5 reps for 3 sets
Barbell Curl: 6-12 reps for 3 sets
Incline Curl: 40 reps for 2 sets

Tuesday:
Squat: 3-5 reps for 4 sets
Leg Press: 6-12 reps for 3 sets
Front Squat: 6-12 reps for 3 sets
Leg Press: 40 reps for 2 sets
Calf Raise: 40 reps for 2 sets
Straight Leg Deadlift: 3-5 reps for 4 sets
Hypers: 6-12 reps for 3 sets
Leg Curl: 40 reps for 1 set

Wednsday: Cardio and Ab Circuits

Thursday:
Seated Barbell Press: 3-5 reps for 4 sets
Arnold Press: 6-12 reps for 3 sets
Barbell Front Raise: 6-12 reps for 3 sets
Dumbbell Lat Raise: 40 reps for 2 sets
Close Grip Bench: 3-5 reps for 3 sets
Seated French Press: 6-12 reps for 3 sets
EZ Bar Skullcrushers: 6-12 reps for 3 sets
Cable Tricep Extension: 40 reps for 1 set

Friday:
Deadlift: 3-5 reps for 4 sets
Barbell Rows: 6-12 reps for 3 sets
Lat Pull Down: 6-12 reps for 3 sets
Bent Over Rows: 40 reps for 2 sets
Ab Circuit: Lifters Choice.

I know its alot to look at but any feedback would be appreciated. Been at it for 2 weeks which is too early to notice any extreme gains but just curious what everyone thought about it.

Thanks fellas

^^^ This. Regardless of goal I don't understand why you would do multiple exercises of similar kinesthetic movements, in the same workout, that target the the same muscle groups. An example of this is barbell bench and dumbbell bench on the same day. One group of sets is for volume and the other for strength. The only way you can make nice gains in both numbers and looks at the same time is if you are a 1 in a million freak with awesome genetics. Your either working out with the goal of achieving great numbers or looks. Pick one of those and and design a routine with that goal in mind.

So if I wanna achieve size, then what would you suggest to change about this workout?

Gamble, I know this workout and if you want size and strength it works. Been using this with some replacements in there when I get tired of same thing. Raised all 3 main lifts with this workout.
