+k for best workout idea

I've been doing variations of the following two for the past few months, goal is to get strong but not big, so I'm doing a lot of compound exercises with heavy weight, trying to max by the 5th rep.

deadlift 1x6

squat 5x5

dumbell bench press 5x5

pullup 3x12

-

power clean 5x5

front squat 5x5

dumbell shoulder press 5x5

dips 3x12

for cardio I use the row machine, do kettlebell intervals, or go on long ass bike rides on my day off

 
Depends on how much time you have to devote on those 3 days. All last year I worked at building lean muscle so I could get stronger, yet not overly large so as to have a decent physique and retain my flexibility for golf. I was on a 4 day program, but divided certain areas of the body up on each of those 4 days and always worked those areas on a schedule. I also alternated muscle groups with each lift I did. I.e. Tri's, then Bi then repeat. This way my muscles never got used to what I was lifting. Also, I always did slightly lower weight but a few more reps, 10-12 reps for 3 sets on everything. Added 100 pounds to my bench in a year, much more toned, not huge either. Ran before every lift as well. Many, many workouts can fit what youre looking for though if lifting isnt your thing though.
 
seriously p90x. I know it looks like bullshit but we did it for gym in high school, and I lost almost 20 pounds by the end of the year, but that was the same year I stopped just eating every sweet delicious thing that was in front of me
