Good luck man.

I'd suggest that you don't really need the leg extensions or the chest flies though. Squats and 1 other exercise should be all you need for legs, and dips/flat/incl. bench pretty much nail the chest. Also might want to look into close grip bench or skullcrushers to replace one of the tricep exercises. IMO, of course. :)
