Overtraining?

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to lifting at all and had some questions. I started working out regularly about 6-8 months ago and since that time I've gone from 140 pounds to 168 pounds (I'm 5'11"). Over the past month on so though, I feel like I've hit a wall. I read some threads on here where people mentioned concerns with over training and I wanted to post my workouts here and see what you guys think. I specifically have trouble with my biceps so I already cut out some from my Arms day. Sorry if some of the names of the lifts aren't technical, still learning.Any advice would be appreciated!

Note: I usually do 3 sets with 8/6/4 reps (high weight). These aren't necessarily in order.

Chest/Back:

Machine Incline
Machine Decline
Machine chest press
Dumbbell Fly
Standing Rows
Dumbbell Chest Press
Arm Lifts (lighter weight, lifted straight ahead)
Arm stretch (lighter weight, lifted to the sides)
LAT
LAT Rows
Machine High Rows
Machine Fly
Machine Deltoid



Arms/Shoulder:

Dumbbell curl
Overhead dumbbell lift
Military Press
Standing Triceps (using both hands)
Hammer Curl
Isolated Curl
Shoulder Press
Bar Curl
Triceps Pushdown (with a machine)

Legs:

Leg extension
Seated Leg Curl
Horizontal leg curl (lying down)
Calf Raises
Leg Press
Hip Abduction (In and Out)
 
What do you suggest cutting out? (I assume you're talking about Chest). Any thoughts on the biceps or is that a reasonable number?
 
It's for both chest and back, especially back. There's no deadlifts or pullups. Also, like I said, you really need to change your leg training because it's pretty sad.
 
Your wall will be broken through if you do this: Start squating like Rodja said, Start Deadlifitng, Start bench pressing.
Also your wall will be smashed if you: Eat more good food choices (Steak, Rice, Fruits, Veggies, Fish, Eggs) typically 500 more cls over your maintenance daily. Time to smash that wall BRAH, GET iT
