Opinions on which program next wanted

Hi guys and gals,

So . . . some back ground. I did P90X for a year, and graduated to heavier lifting once I got my weight set and built a squat rack. I did 2 or 3 rounds of a Stronglifts madcow program. Once I started hitting some plateaus with improvements I moved onto the advanced Stronglifts program. I'm currently into the 8th week of that and am wondering what to do next.

I could do another Stronglifts program and just reset it for my current maxes, or I could do the Wendler 5/3/1 program. Or I could do something else.

This is where the opinions come in. What would be better for me to continue to see progression?

Currently maxes are based on the last 3 reps of the Stronglifts current week

Weight - 205 lbs
Bench - 285 lbs
Squat - 365 lbs
Deadlifts - 400 lbs
Overhead press - 190 lbs

I wouldn't mind a program that helped me improve my deads a bit more so it wasn't so close to my squats.

Anyway, thanks for reading and thanks for the opinions.

    Nice lifts bro!

    Well, your stronger than me, but my two cents would be to do 5/3/1 or look into a periodization programme

    Good lifts indeed. I like the flexibility of 5/3/1. I've done it before & liked it but not currently using it.

    Thanks for the replies. I think I will go with the 5/3/1 and see how I like it.
