This is my routine for the new year. Feel free to comment etc if you see anything horrible :p
On each of the main lifting days i have one major compound exercise which are, in my eyes, the key exercises (marked with a 'K'). These are followed by supplementary exercises which have various aims. Ive tried to keep things very simple.

Monday

Deadlift (K)
Farmers Walks
Bar hangs

Wednesday

Front press (K)
Cleans
Dips

Friday

Squats (K)
Chins
Bicep Curls

Sunday is the day where i do something different. Partly for fun and party to put the gains to practice in a different and, usually, whole body lift. Each Sunday of the month i will vary the lift i do.

1st Sunday Clean and Press / Clean and Jerk
2nd Sunday Overhead Squats
3rd Sunday One clean and press or snatches with either BB or DB's
4th Sunday Funky Lifting e.g Sandbag training, the Bear, log lifting or car pushing

Cardio work goes as follows

Monday- Climbing
Tuesday- Sprint intervals
Wednesday- Bagwork
Thursday- Hill Sprints
Friday- Climbing
Sunday- Bagwork

i have saturdays off completely.

Cheers for the advice. I must admit that i did notice the lack of GPP myself but thought that i'd try and get away with it :p

I may slip some in between rounds during bag work sessions.

With your combination of cardio and olympic lifts your GPP should be covered.

GPP=general physical preparedness. It's basically conditioning. Check out a search on google or over at t-nation for more info.
