To much ab work, forarm work, calve work in my opinion. Pec dec doesnt do much for streangth. If its working keep it up. Doesnt really look to bad. What are your goals however?

From a PL perspective, there is too much isolation work

Things like:
leg press
leg curl
pec deck
curls...

...Not bad once in a while, but they shouldn't be a steady part of your routine.

Also seems like a lot of abwork. Not a bad thing since it's important for a strong core, but I'm not sure that much is neccesary.

Nice to see a lot of compound movments...SLDL, Rows, clean/jerk.
IMO, the program should focus on stuff like this.
