My friends have all said that my current plan is dogshit. Are they right? What should I do instead? My goal is essentially a lean bulk. Picrel is what I am doing:

really only need 1,3,&6.
and leg curls are gay. so even if you feel like that's an area that would benefit. you leave that one out because it's gay.

way too much volume bro
less sets more intensity
if youโ€™re training hard enough youโ€™re gonna be doing baby weights on the chest press after already doing 10 sets of chest

also, your shoulder and tricep day sucks
Just copy a program off YouTube or something for a while, then maybe start swapping a few exercises for ones you like more after a while

76 squats
40 sls
24 more lunges
This looks like pure suffering

The workout I'm doing now is a straight rip from here: https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/6-week-workout-program-to-build-lean-muscle

This is one of the first things that came up when I searched lean bulk.

A "lean bulk" is simply where you know your calorie surplus and keep it consistently between ~200 and 500 calories a day. At this rate you should be gaining no more than 2lbs a month, give or take.
That exercise program sucks, consider an ULUL instead if you want to work out 4 days a week.

Too much volume, if you're natty then you are not progressing and are actually overtraining

Look into a proper upper lower split or a push pull legs split, or even a full body every other day split if you're up for that
Also lean bulk is a myth

well for starters, a lot of same muscle groups are being hit multiple times, I personally have started off on a bro split when I first went to a gym which was dumb but today I do more of a upper lower split with more compound movements

good chatgpt generated upper lower split:
I suggest you warmup before every exercise, 2 sets to failure is enough (put on enough weight so that you fail on 12th rep, if you fail on 10-12 great increase weight, if you fail on between 6-10 then keep the weight, if below lower weight)

Day 1 โ€“ Upper Body

Dumbbell Incline Press โ€“ 2 sets

Pull-Ups (Weighted) โ€“ 2 sets

Seated Overhead Press โ€“ 2 sets

Barbell or Dumbbell Row โ€“ 2 sets

Barbell Curl โ€“ 2 sets

Triceps Pushdown or Dips โ€“ 2 sets

Day 2 โ€“ Lower Body

Squat โ€“ 2 sets

Romanian Deadlift โ€“ 2 sets

Leg Press or Lunges โ€“ 2 sets

Leg Curl โ€“ 2 sets

Calf Raise โ€“ 2 sets

Hanging Leg Raise or Plank โ€“ 2 sets

lean bulk implies that you only gain muscle mass which can't be controlled that well
you will gain bone mass, you will gain water weight, you will gain fat

It's shit because you're already setting sets and reps for A LOT of exercises, which betrays that your training intensity is very low in order to handle all that volume

Just go as hard as you can on 1 compound per session then do medium or lightweight stuff on accessories

3 exercises per day is all you need
4 sets of 6-12 reps per exercise
pick your favourites

Also, resting is definitely important but this varies a lot by individual. If you stall by feeling too much fatigue increase rest

I hear this thrown around a lot. By favorites, do you mean the ones I see the most results with or the ones I just enjoy doing/can do?

I agree with everyone else in this thread. If you're doing four sessions a week, you don't need to be doing a gazillion sets of a dozen different exercises. Focus on the basics first, and if you find some things lacking, THEN add some accessories. It's way better to do ~3 lifts really well then half-ass 6-7 of them.

Sounds good to me.
My daily exercise routine is now:
>4x12 single-leg leg extension (superset each leg)
>4x12 30 second isometric leg extension holds (alternate legs each rep, the bar only rests between sets)
>4x12 leg extensions (both legs, so they don't forget how to cooperate)
And I WILL leave a visible and indelible print of my engorged testicles and cock on the leather of the seat when I am done
