    Too many machines, use the barbell and dumbbells, squats,deadlifts,bench press,shoulder press,bent over row,lunges,pullups/chins,pushups,core bridges etc.

    You look to be doing a program you made up yourself, and although it has served its purpose over the last two weeks you shoud consider switching to a proper beginners program. Starting strength is a good place to start. Even if you dont do this, you should definately ditch the wrist curls, pullovers and leg press (squat instead of this)

    Focus on compound movements. Don't worry about isolation exercises like curls etc just yet. You'll find your strength will improve and your physique goals will happen as a result.
