Just a few thoughts... if front squats hurt your wrists you can use other grips OR you can stretch your wrists - you'll be amazed at how quickly they stop hurting if you make a little effort to get used to it.
As for other "weird" exercises... what makes them weird? There are many types of exercises and probably a good reason for including them... not every exercise has to be something you've heard of or done before to be effective, right?
I do agree that if you're feeling pain from something, you need to either have your form reevaluated or substitute something else - but the more you read around here, the more you'll realize how much really goes into writing a good safe effective program.
