I want to get as strong as possible by October. I have been following Rippetoe's program for 4 months and have made good gains, but now the gains have slowed down alot. I am thinking about switching things up and bit and making a combo of all the compound lifts in Rippetoe's and Olympic lifts. I play hockey so I need strength and also explosive power. I'm not too concerned about looking huge because I am an athlete and not following a bodybuilding routine. I'm hoping following a high calorie/protein diet combined with lots of cardio from sprinting and plyometrics will get me looking cut and defined. I'm looking for Olympic lifts that will give me good results. I have been doing power cleans recently and love them and I want to do more Olympic lifts.
What Olympic lifts can I add to the following lifts that will give me strength and also explosive power?
-BB flat bench
-Deadlift
-Squat
-Military press
-Bent over rows
