first of all, you've violated the rule of making a routine based around muscle groups instead of movements or lifts. Usually a 3-day routine is either push/pull/squat, or a squat/bench/deadlift day routine, or a 3-day total body routine based around those movements/lifts.
as well, the idea of "bulking" then "cutting" is kind of contrary to what a the S&P forum is about. Strength and Power, not bulk up, diet and lose strength but get some cuts so you look good on the beach. Most people have a purpose for lifting, with the main idea of getting stronger, either for a specific sport (probably BJJ or MMA) or to get stronger in the 3 powerlifting lifts mentioned above. The result of "bulking" would be from eating a shit load of food.
a basic strength training programme would have a maximum of 5 reps per set, maybe 6 or 7. a really simple idea is the 3 by 5 programme. 3-5 lifts of 3-5 sets of 3-5 reps 3-5 times a week. it's really hard to fuck up this plan, it's just 3-5. there are other options, but give yourself time before you get all complicated.
A really really good place to start is Urban's 101 programme. Get a pen and paper, go to his website and start taking notes. Then report back to the S&P forum for specific questions about what to do.
