if you want strength and size i would go with these....
arms: incline bench, or other pressing
shoulders: push presses
legs: squats. front and back.
if you want strictly size, i would focus on getting your squat up, your deadlift up, and a kind of pressing up. I pick incline because it involves your shoulders a lot more than flat. Throw in some db pressing/shoulder pressing and other light assistance stuff.
I love oly lifts, but as far as packing on the size, the basics (press, pull, squat) are the best, IMO. Oly lifts are technical, and if you want to do them properly, you're going to have to spend a good amount of time learning proper technique, so you're not going to be using a lot of weight. Squats, pressing, and deadlifting are all relatively easy to learn, so you are going to be able to progress faster.
If you're wanting to get into oly lifting, i'd find a coach. If no coach, i'd stick with jump shrugs as they have a low probability of screwing them up and still benefits of the explosive strength.
Probably not what you wanted to hear, but IMO it's what's best if you're not looking to compete and get the most bang for your buck.
