5x5 or Max-OT. If you have the right equipment try out Westside for Skinny Bastards.

That's more or less what I've got planned too.

Two a days during the week. Except T and R I plan to swim instead of lifting. And on Sat I plan to take an "easy" day with one class.

swimming would be a real good change on that

Damn man, you guys gotta read into weightlifting a bit. Bodyweight is okay, but weights is where its at. Do a search on google for a good 5x5 or 3x3.

i was instructed on weight lifting techniques by a former Mr. Nebraska and incorperated that training into my boxing and kickboxing style. Also wrote a book on it.

you should do multi-joint(some say compound) exercises that work lots of muscles at once in order to develop strength. I dont know if youve lifted before, If you havent then get someone who knows what they are talking about to help you work the form before you start. Its dangerous and plain ineffiecient to train heavy without proper form. I personally would recommend 3 sets x 5-10 reps for each exercise, if your new. If you want to test your strength a little then you can do some 3 rep sets. Sometimes I do ladders of 10 reps, 5 reps then 3 reps to work different properties of my muscles. 10 reps develops more endurance, and 5 and 3 reps are more purely strength oriented.
Exercises Id recommend are:
Bench press(barbell or dumbell)
Barbell Back Squats(most call em squats)
Deadlifts(barbell)
Bentover Rows(barbell or dumbell)
Chinups/pullups
Military Press

If you are fairly comfortable handling barbells you could try out:
Power cleans
Overhead Squats
Front Squats
Upright rows
