ashimmatthan has a point. for another workout idea there is something I've been looking into and that's a workout style call Strength Endurance. A thread I started has something a workout for this style. basically you do 8-15 sets of 2-6 reps. with about 60 sec rest in-between. this is hard as hell. It allows you to work real heavy but still use a volume similar to strait up endurance training, and you don't do that many exercises because of the volume of work your doing.
For example, you could do 4 sets of 15 using maybe 50-65% of your 1RM or
you can do 10 sets of 4 and use 75-85% of your 1RM
another workout that is very similar in nature to this is Advanced German Volume Training (AGVT). The only real difference is the amount of time you rest in-between sets. I would try AGVT first to get a feel for it then using similar layouts start shortening the time you rest.
