I'd say something like a 3-lift sort of program is great for the minimalist. From the article I read (Building the Super Soldier by Stephane Robert):
Of course I'd add Pavel Tsatsouline, Dan John, Mark Rippertoe and Johnny Shaeffer among others to the 'read anything by' list (and this list is by no means exhaustive).
If I have any doubts my azimuth is always press, squat, and pull something as the three moves to build a strength program around. For me my kettlebell lifts are the clean and press, goblet squat, and the swing and snatch (for the pulls piece).
Press, squat, and pull heavy weights, and read anything by Dave Tate or Jim Wendler.
