The OP did about 12 sets for chest, with several to failure. For a beginner, even with low weights, that is far too much.

There are few reputable personal trainers who would push a single muscle group that far in the first workout.

My best bench is 330lbs - double my bodyweight - and I never did more than 15 sets for my chest, ever.
