I'm jealous. I'm roughly in the same ballpark on these lifts but my deadlift still lags. Good work!

Congrats on the weights. But why not stick with a program for more than a couple of weeks?

I did Ripptoes for like 2.5 months, 5x5 for 1.5 months, then the hypertrophy program for 2.5 months. The hypertrophy program was higher volume so i figured i should mix it up. I might do a body part split soon. I believe in changing up to prevent your body from adjusting, makes sense to me. As long as I'm progressing on the big lifts and gaining weight.
