    A trainer who puts wrist extensions in a program isn't very good! (I'm sure there are exceptions but for the most part :))

    Far to many exercises, especially a rake load of pressing for the amount of pulling movements, stick to heavy Squatting, Pulling and Pressing.
    Try a simple 3 day, Push/Pull/Legs split with each day having a primary movement (like Standing Overhead Press/Barbell or Dumbbell rows/Squats or whatever) and then follow up other higher rep assistance lifts.
    That's just my humble opinion though... if anyone has better ideas I'm all for it.

    Cheers for the advice and your not the first one to say it to me about the wrist extensions so ill cut them out and concentrate on some core exercises.
