Peary Rader had a similer process with his abreviated routines. What is your thought process?
My own thought process is to keep it as a wholebody program, that could be done in 60-90 minutes 3x week.
1. squats
2. deads
3. dips
4. presses
5. bench
6. bent row
7. cleans
8. chins
9. upright rowing
10. pullovers
I'm not done with this, I need to think about the order of a few of these. This is my first draft.

Allright, I spent some time thinking about this, and I've come to a different thought process.
It's not as easy as just building a sequential list. You have to approach each workout differently based on the number of moves you would be allowed to use.
For a one move workout I would do.
1.) Full olympic cleans.
largest multi joint movement I can think of, and hits nearly your whole body.
For a 2 move set.
a. full cleans
b. presses
For a 3 move set
a. squat
b. deads
c. press
For a 4 move set.
a. squat
b. deads
c. press
d. dips
For a 5 move set
a. squat
b. row
c. press
d. dips
e. chins
For a 6 move set
a. squat
b. row
c. press
d. dips
e. chins
f. deads
For a 7 move set
a. squat
b. deads
c. row
d. press
e. bench
f. dips
g chins
For a 8 move set.
a. squat
b. deads
c. row
d. press
e. bench
f. dips
g. chins
h. upright rows
For a 9 move set add
i. calf raises
and for a 10
j. full olympic cleans
I think thats what I'd do.
