this is what i would personally recommend.....

Monday-Legs

Front Squats
Back Squats
Hang Cleans
Power Cleans

I WOULD DO W/O THE CLEANS IMO. I WOULD PRE-EXHAUST WITH LEG EXTENSIONS AND LEG CURLS FOR ABOUT 4 SETS THEN DO ABOUT 4 SETS OF SQUATS. YOU'RE LEGS WILL BE TOASTED. MAYBE LEG PRESS INSTEAD OF SQUATS ONCE EVERY MONTH OR SO.

Off

Wednesday- Chest/Tris

Bench Press
Incline Press
Decline Press
Weighted Dips
Skull Crushers
Pushdowns

I'D DITCH THE DECLINE OR WEIGHTED DIPS. OR ALTERNATE DIFFERENT WEEKS. MAYBE THINK ABOUT DOING TRI'S ON YOUR SHOULDER DAY. START YOUR DAY OFF W/ INCLINE TOO POSSIBLY. HOPEFULLY EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE YOU DO DUMBBELLS AS WELL AS BARBELL. ABOUT EVERY 4 WEEKS SWITCH IT UP. ALSO, MAYBE THINK ABOUT GETTING RID OF FLAT PRESS AND DO SOME FLAT FLYS. MAKE YOUR MAIN CHEST LIFTS ALL PRESSES, HOWEVER FLYS SHOULD BE ADDED AS WELL. I THINK THEY'RE A STAPLE TO ANY CHEST WORKOUT. THEY'RE AWESOME TO DO IN THE BEGINNING FOR PRE-EXHAUSTING THE CHEST.

Thursday-Back/hammys

Deadlifts
Seated Rows
Bent over rows
Seated Leg curls
Stiff legged dead lift

I'D DITCH THE SEATED ROWS AND DO SOME CHINS OR LAT PULLDOWNS TO THE FRONT. NO NEED FOR SEPARATE HAMMY WORKOUT AS YOU'LL GET THAT ON LEG DAY FROM THE PRE-EXHAUSTING AND SQUATS

Friday-Calves Abs Forearms

DO CALVES ON LEG DAY AND FOREARMS ON BACK/BI DAY. I SEE YOU DONT MENTION BI'S ANYWHERE. ARE YOU EVEN DOING THEM?? JUST LIKE 4 SETS AFTER YOUR BACKWORKOUT AND YOUR BI'S SHOULD BE TOASTED

Sat-off

Sun-Shoulders

Front delt raise/side
Military
Push press

PUSH PRESS? I'M NOT FAMILIAR. LATERAL RAISES AND MILITARY PRESS IS ABOUT ALL I'D DO FOR SHOULDERS, CONSIDERING YOU'RE WORKING THEM ON CHEST DAY AS WELL.

well if you're the type who only does bench and bi's....but bi's shouldnt be neglected....yeah, you work them out during back, but throw in a few sets of bb curls or hammer curls and you're set for bis. not to mention the great forearm workouts you get with the back/bi day. i feel no need to do a separate workout for forearms as, like i said, deads/rows and my bi workouts take care of them pretty well.

and yeah, chest/bi day is good. however i personally love the bi's done on back day. also, i'm curious about why you're trying to get your cleans up, and why you even do them in the first place? into track or something?

cleans on top of a full schedule

Are you trying to develop speed with your cleans? If you don't need speed then the cleans will probably not be worth doing because they duplicate your back and hams day and I think its better to only do one muscle group per week so you can recover. Basically, your Monday and Thursday routines do much of the same.

Then you have jerk listed on Sunday. Am I to assume that you clean the bar to your chest prior to jerking? Anyway, if you are cleaning and jerking that is once again a repeat of Monday and Thursdays back and legs workout.

I think you should simplify your routine so that you only do each bodypart once per week. This is hard to do with cleans, I know, because they do so much of the body at once.

Here's a split that worked great for me in the past. When I get 100% again (from nagging back,foot injuries) I plan to do a similar set up, maybe switch out a couple of exercises for others.

Day 1:
Dumbbell snatch
Pull-ups
Incline DB press
Seated DB curls superset with skull crushers

Day 2:
Squats
Box Jumps (with 40 pound vest if available)
Stiff-leg Deads
Standing Calves

Day 3:
Power Cleans
Barbell Bench
Standing Military
Seated Cable Rows
Hammer Curls
Tricep Pressdowns

Day 4:
Front Squats
HyperExtenstions
Medicine ball ab work
Calf work

This was just the sequence of the workouts. I would rest as needed. Occasionally I would go 3 days in a row, but most common was a 2 on/1 off/2 on/2 off, repeat. This did a lot for me, most importantly building a huge foundation in strength and mind muscle connection.

The attached photo is one of Dmitry Klokov, a gold medalist in the World Weightlifting championship. The guys who compete at this level focus on one thing only: lifting more weight. The obvious side effect to a stringent olympic weightlifting program is a lot of muscle, lean overall look (if diet is maintained correctly), and tons of raw strength from hell. While a bodybuilder would not get far by switching to an all out olympic training plan, the benefits would be well worth the effort and have a great amount of carryover into a bodybuilder's progress.
