I'm currently doing this:

Monday (Volume)
Squat - 5x5
Bench - 5x5
Power cleans - 5x3
Accessory: Abs + lower back


Wednesday (Recovery)
Front Squat - 3x3
Standing press - 3x5
Barbell Rows - 3x5 (or pullups, 3 x 8-15)
Accessory: abs only


Friday (Intensity)
Squat - ramp to max set of 3 or 5
Bench - ramp to max triple
Deadlift - ramp to max single, double or triple
Accessory: Abs + Direct arm work + lower back work

It's a great routine geared towards getting your big 3 up, you can read up on it here:

Edit, I just noticed you're doing speed work too, which can be incorporated in this, if you want to do speed work you can run it like this:

Monday [High Volume/Moderate Intensity]
Squat 3X8
Bench Press/Press 3X8 (Alternating)
Assistance work
Deadlift 1x5

Wednesday [Low Volume/Low Intensity]
Front Squat 3x3
Press/Bench Press 2X5 (Alternating)
Assistance work
Back Extension/GHR 5x10
Chin ups 3x12

Friday [Speed Sets]
Squat 10x2 (1 min. rest)
Bench Press/Press 10x3 (1 min. rest) (Alternating)
Deadlift 15x1 (30 sec. rest)
