Upping the Big Three

Hey, just got an account at t nation.
So the main question I have is how do I up the big three lifts?
How often should I do them, with what frequency and percentage of 1RM?

Some background info:
Monday: Back and shoulders
Weighted pullups (45) 3x7
Rows (either one arm dumbbell or bent over)
Standing shoulder press 3x5 at 115
Cable rows
Front/side raises
Curls

Tuesday: Legs
Low bar squats @ 200 3x5
Calves
RDLs for 3x12
Squats at 135 to failure

Wednesday: chest and abs
Bench 3x6 @ 160
Incline @140 3x6
Dips
Weighted crunches, side bends, weighted leg raises

Thursday: rest

Friday: Hamstrings and lower back
Deadlifts (work up to 1x5, somewhere around 250)
Hip extensions
Leg curls
Hyperextensions
Good mornings

Saturday: High rep upper body
Bench, incline, pullups, rows

I try to work up to three sets of seven on each of the main six exercises I do

So for the secondary exercises (the ones other than the squat/DL/rows/pullups/overhead press/bench) I just do whatever I feel like on the weights for the most part. But the problem I’ve been having is that my squat and deadlift are lagging. I want to bring the big three up to a decent number (300, 400, 200 on squat, dl, bench).

Should I go to Stronglifts or Starting Strength for maximum strength gains? I feel like it might be better because of the increased rest days, but I don’t know if I can recover from the total body workouts every two days.
Or should I keep doing what I’m doing?
What about Smovlov squat routine?
How can I get my squat and deadlift higher?!

Any advice for a noob would be great! :slight_smile:

How’s your diet? Where are you in Tennessee?

Keeping a log?

Frequency…honestly bench and squat multiple times weekly. For a while I was all about assistance and what should help the big three, Im now realizing, focusing on the big three especially in the beginning with no real variations is what really I should have done from the beginning…I could have been a lot better IMO now.
