What do you think of my workout? It’s Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday because it’s the days I don’t work and go to school on the same day.

It seems you have a lot sets for each body part. I'll let someone else decide that first before i say anything else

I actually do biceps first. Arms don't really bother me when I concentrate on my legs.Originally posted by Sweetbebejesus

So, should I do less sets of each excersize or get rid of one alltogether?

I personally think you have too much volume going on there. I like a routine with no more than 3 exercises to bodypart and 3-4 sets for each exercise. I also do two bodyparts perworkout so that usually gets me in and out under or at an hour. Id also split up your routine a bit more.
Peace

try using a set and rep scheme like this for your training:
4x12,10,8,6 increasing the weight as you decrease the reps
this way you dont get stuck doing the same weight over and over again....also it really helps to build good size and strength!Obsessed is just a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated.
The body cannot achieve what the mind cannot conceive.
Practice doesnt make perfect....perfect practice makes perfect
