I don't think doing 4 sets of 100 reps on the bench press with 30 lbs will be particularly conducive to strength

Same for doing 5 different upper body compound push/pressing movements in a row


Read the stickies and look around at reputable novice routines such as Fierce 5, 5/3/1 For Beginners, Starting Strength, All Pros, Greyskulls LP etc. Pick one and follow it. Check Nutrition Forum stickies. Track calories and carbs/fat/protein daily, as well as bodyweight. (www.myfitnesspal.com is popular for this)

Some starting points for performing the main lifts (click through related videos for other lifts from the same folks)

Less pressing and more rowing

[gcoulson]

Less pressing and more rowing

Just less of everything.

[Farley1324]

Just less of everything.

IDK I only saw two upper body compound pulling exercises in the whole thing

This routine reminds me of a youngster who gets his first chance at a dessert buffet. Everything looks so good he has to have not just some, but a lot of all of it. It just doesn't turn out good.
