ppsa is similar to 531. same progression model but different levels of volume and intensity. i would suggest you go that route after running the lp.

for me...i dunno. im running DB strength right now and planned on running it until vacation at end of april as i was running it with my wife. But she informed me, she isnt ready to do that level of committment or intensity right now and only wants to do a bodyweight circuit 2x per week plus peloton so reevaluating right now.

gonna start pushing the DB strength program this week and run it until the end. gonna cut down on the rest breaks, walk the whole time during breaks and add some strongman sandbag workout at the end that is like 10min long for conditioning and then see from there.

im gonna stick to 4x per week plus morning walks but got to figure out what i want to run. thinking arm farm adn add size to the arms if gonna stay with ppsa which is about 90% probability.

i have to get over this damn tendonitis i got from LPing dips and chins. I did get strong AF though

other choices would be the Greyskull LCI program, 531 Krypteia or one of Brian Alshures programs.

Things could change (for me) at any time, based off any number of factors(injuries or anything that seems to be approaching an injury, maybe I read/learn something new that makes me change my mind, equipment issues, time/schedule problems, travel, etc), but I know Johnny Pain is going to be releasing a new book soon (STRIP) and it sounds like something that will be right up my alley.

So I'm expecting that I will be modifying my schedule pretty quickly, but we'll see, I just want to mix it up this year instead of just crushing myself into dust with LPLPLPLPLP. I may come to find out that at my age (45) I can't do Olympic lifting enough to dedicate multiple weeks to doing that, and only that, while actually getting a benefit from it. This year is a big experiment in an way, but it's got me all excited and happy, which is new and nice.

Has AA ever put out anything covering his overall methodology when it comes to program development? I've read the descriptions of all his programs on the PPSA site, and I think I've picked over the Insta completely, only things I haven't done is listen to podcast appearances he's done. My sticking point with PPSA is I feel like I don't know what I'm getting into until I've purchased the programs (which aren't cheap in my opinion). I think the best resource to find out about the individual PPSA programs is right here on TD. Several people have written about their experiences with different PPSA programs, so that's great, but I'd be interested to hear AA expound on his methods. I'll start reading my 5/3/1 book today.
