New routine

[rookie]

I have discovered something about myself and I owe it to Berardi. I like simple, easy and effective. I am in my second week of the routine based on his article where I am doing Squats/Bench/ Rows everyday. Five days a week. I love it.
I am going to do it for four weeks. But then what. Please guide me to some more basic simple routines. I like the 5 sets and low reps. I like the few compound moves. So give me more. Something along the lines of three or four lifts each time in the gym and can be done 4 or 5 times a week.
Perhaps:
Deads
Press ups
Pull ups
and
Squats
Bench press
Rows
Alternating each time in the gym.

So let's have it. What ideas do you have?
Thanks guys.(and Gals)

Monday: Upper
overhead lift or push exercise with tricep strength
row- pullup/chins or one arm row
sometimes some prehab- upper back work, banded pullaparts, shoulder stuff, etc.

Tues: Lower
depending on how i feel i'll usually squat this day, or if i'm feeling rundown, or know i'll squat heavy on friday, i'll do a light day

squat: i like front squats, or a bastard form of zercher squats
then i do some sort of hamstring/glute work or some quad work

Friday: full body
this day we always do a press, a squat, and a pull. we change up the variations every week. different bars, different sets, etc. Sometimes event work. Usually heavy on everything. ha!

You don't need a complex program. just lift heavy when you feel like going heavy, and lighter when you don't.

Simple to follow and hits all the right parts. I tried it for two weeks. I liked it.

Have you looked at Rippetoe's routines, Rookie?

I just got done reading the Men's health Power Training by dos Remedios and it sounds similar to what you want. The breakdown is easy, 2 days on - 1 day off - repeat. Its push/pull so your only doing a few exercises. I tried my first workout last night and loved it.

I like:

Monday--Fullbody
Squat day, pick a squat variation,
pressing and rowing/chins exercise(i do OH press on this day)
second lower body lift(unilateral stuff would be good)

Wednesday--Upper
Heavy Presses and rows/chins
if you want a couple of curls/extensions this is the day

Friday--Fullbody
Deadlift/variation
Press and row/chin
second lower body lift

4ish exercises per workout, could add a fourth day as a light fullbody workout if you really can\'t stay out of the gym, I don\'t see a need for it though.

You probably don\'t need to be training 5 times a week imo

But hey, thats something I planned out, and works for me. Hope that gives you some ideas.

And thanks for the ideas guys. I want to find a groove I can move through for several months of this type routine and not have to search out a new one each month.
Thanks again

I wish I could find a yea rlong routine like NROL with nothing but 3 or four major lifts rotated throughout the year. I am sure I could come up with a good one but it is probably not ideal.
I am going to pick up the MH powerlifting book and look into Rippetoe's stuff. Thanks for the ideas.
