Hey,
Yes this is bad. You need to rest muscles for at least a day after working them out in order for them to grow. Here is a good starting routine. Do it 3 days a week with a rest day in between workout. Do this for a couple months, then you can start adding some other exercises. Ones the routine starts getting to long, thats when you need to split it up....here is the workout.
Chest Barbell Bench Press 3 x 8, 10, 12
Back Deadlifts 3 x 8, 10, 12
Shoulders Military Press 3 x 8, 10, 12
Quads Squats 3 x 8, 10, 12
Hamstrings Leg Curls 3 x 8, 10, 12
Triceps Rope Pressdown 3 x 8, 10, 12
Biceps Barbell Curl 3 x 8, 10, 12
Calves Standing Calf Raise 3 x 8, 10, 12
Abs Crunch 3 x 15"After all is said and done, a lot more will have been said than done will have been done!"

you need to give your muscles 2 days of rest
you should do 3 sets by 5 reps for strength you can try 3x 8-12 reps for size
you need to seperate the days into muscle groups so that you focus on 2 muscle groups a day
Chest back (chest, mid and lower back)
bi's tri's (Biceps and triceps
legs abs (calfs, quads, hamstring)
shoulders and lats (traps, delts, lats)
I usually do that for grouping
I also have about 2-3 excercises per muscle group
don't workout more than an hour - hour and 1/2
go to the main page of this site and look at the excercises that are broken down to each muscle group

Your current plan for working out:
1. Decide you want big arms
2. Do ridiculous exercises for them
3. ????
4. FAIL!
It should've looked more like:
1. Understand your lack of knowledge
2. Seek out someone to properly guide you
3. Follow their advice
4. PROFIT!
You can't seriously not expect to get a little flamed for posting what you did. Consider the ridiculing posts your pledge hazing...can't get into the fraternity without putting up with it. Almost all of us had pathetically dumb ideas about working out at one point or another and got blasted for it, and now we're paying it forward.
As a thought, though, there are some spectacular options for finding the information required to not look like a tool. One is Google. Two is the Search function on this site.
For right now, stick to basic pre-made workout programs like Rippetoe's. Don't worry about Westside or anything, stick to the basics. Absolutely DO NOT make up your own program at the moment.
