Seated Rear Lat Raise, 3 sets of 10
Barbell Curl, 3 sets of 7
Hammer Curl, 3 sets of 7
Preacher Curl, 3 sets of 5
One set of Pull Ups to failure.

Sat:
Barbell Bench Press, 4 sets of 8
Incline DB Bench Press, 3 sets of 7
Weighted Dips, 3 sets of 10
Over head Shoulder Press, 3 sets of 7
Skull Crushers, 3 sets of 8
Cabel Tricep Extension, 3 sets of 10

Sun:
Squats: 4 sets of 8
Lunges: 3 sets of 20 (10 each leg)

Leg Curls: 3 sets of 10

Wow that's alot of volume, look up starting strength, or you could do a common 3 day split like Chest/tri's back/bi's legs/ shoulders, or a push/pull/leg split.
Goals by end of 2009:
Bench 205
Squat 255 ATG
Squat Clean 185

there is alot here that you need not do ... Eliminate one of your rows, and on each tuesday pick wichever ONE you want to do, too much bicep work on that day aswell unless your the biggest man in bristol your biceps will not benefit from all that extra bi cep work... again just pick one bicep workout. Saturday looks good ! Same with Sunday ! My only beef is tueday

Upright Row, 3 sets of 6 
One Arm Row, 3 sets of 8 
Shrugs, 3 sets of 8

Deadlifts are better on back day, your squats will benefit or your deads wont suffer.

SLDL would be better on Leg day if you had them

Cheers thanks for the advice, I was considering replacing good mornings with SLDL so I think I will.
