Squat, deadlift, bench, rows. Thats how you gain mass, the workout you were doing is awful.

I'm all for high intensity, low volume but with the exception of leg extensions those movements are all fine IMO. I wouldn't do all that in one day, but there's nothing fundamentally wrong with most of these exercises.

For the record, I don't do wrist curls, bicep curls or the iso leg movements but don't think its terrible unless your doing so causes you to neglect the compound lifts.

But this is what invariably happens. Someone thinks, "oh I did some shoulder raises so my shoulders are good2go" which is going to be a huge mistake/roadblock to building functional shoulder strength (lift something overhead for eg).
