With respect, you're over simplifying it. Achieving and maintaining good proportions (the usual goal of those starting out) is going to take more than Olympic lifts + pullups. Similarly 3x8 on one muscle group once a week isn't a catch all; it's my opinion that a work out should tailor to your ability and goals.

That's before we even get into diet. Planning exercise without diet (or vice versa) is a recipe for no progress.
