Continuing Blueprint with wrist injury?

I am currently doing the Russian strength program but hurt my wrist a week and a half ago at work. I was up to workout #4 but stopped ever since my incident. I can't stand not lifting weights and can still do certain exercises, such as squats, pullups (surprisingly), and others that don't involve putting pressure on my wrist. I definitely can't bench yet which is why I stopped lifting.
How can I continue working out, doing certain lifts without screwing up my Russian strength program run?

A. Solution? Delivered...

Padded Hand Grips
"Once you start pressing the heavy iron your hands and wrists will really appreciate some extra cushioning. One of my customers, Alan Trombetta, makes the best padded hand grips for pressing exercises. I’ve never seen their equal. (Yet they are really inexpensive.) Buy them and you’ll press more weight, it’s as simple as that".

I actually have something similar to that which does work wonders when lifting heavy. The thing is that I can't bench at all because of my injury.
If I put the current program on hold would it be beneficial for me to at least do squats or should I wait it out and not do any weight lifting until my wrist is 100% healed?

A. The real solution here is to find another, like compound movement for the upper body. One that doesn't aggravate your injury!
Have you tried
dips and/or a variation of the
pullover? Either is an excellent substitute. In many, many way - superior!!
The Upper Body Squat - Publication Date? 1970!!!

Might want to look into something like Fatgripz, which help relieve pressure and stress on your joints...also apparently works very well to help force muscles to do more of the work versus the joints...
