  Mon-Squat variants
  Tues-Bench variants
  Wed-Rest
  Thurs-Rows or Chins variants
  Fri-Presse variants
  Sat-Rest
  Sun-Deadlift variants
  
  By variants,I mean variations of the exercises+assistance exercises...Say,good old squat,you can do 5 sets of the conventional barbell back squat followed by 3 sets of front squats,3 sets of dumbbell squats and 3 sets of partial squats.
  
  10-15 sets for each lift.Each day's training session should be pretty short-maybe 30 mins or so.
  
  Results guaranteed.

  i just feel that you might be too sore for friday's workout.Cause chins works out shoulders and press variants does too.

  I forgot to mention that most old school training does not advocate training to utter failure,so you should be good for the press day on Fri.

  I do all 3 lifts the most but my goal is to become a good benchpresser
  
  e.g
  
  Monday - squats + 3 speed sets bench
  
  Wednesday- Deadlift(speed sets and maximum effort)
  
  Friday- Maximum effort bench + speed squats
  
  with auxilliary exercises like rows, rear/front raises, curls, pullups/lat pulldowns, dips etc etc..
