Still doing my full body workout 3 times a week. It works for me. Going to be a while before I switch it up.
In order:
Weighted dips
Weighted pullups/chin ups
Bench press
Barbell rows
Standing barbell shoulder press
Squats
Deadlifts
Ab wheel rollout
Might steal this

I just rinse and repeat.
Perform the exercises on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday or whichever 3 days you prefer (skipping a day between each and 2 days off after the 3rd day).
Weeks 1-2: 3 sets of 8
Weeks 3-4: Increase the weights and do 4 sets of 6
Week 5: Drop the poundage a bit and do 3 sets of 10 -Do not approach failure on any rep during this week
Weeks 6-10: Increase the weights and do 5 sets of 5 for each exercise
Week 11: Drop the poundage and do 3 sets of 10 -Do not approach failure on any rep during this week
Weeks 12-16: Increase the weight and do 3 sets of 3, then decrease the weight and do 3 sets of 8
Every week I just keep the dips/pull ups at 3-5 sets of 10 and increase weight accordingly. ab wheels at 3-5 sets of 20.
Of course when you finish the 4 months and start over you'll start with more weight that next time around.
This isn't for everyone though, but damn it, it works for me. I stole this workout from Marvin Eder, although he had many different workouts, this one worked especially for me since I like doing full body workouts, all compound exercises.
