I've been off CE for a few years and I'm glad to see that PPP is still killing it in the weight room. You were a massive inspiration for me, and I appreciate all the lifting knowledge you've shared with CE. And shit Pinky you're turning into an inspiration for me too, when the fuck did you get so strong? Lol

Personally I've been on and off the past few years, I'm a bit scatterbrained because I'm trying to focus on both running and lifting, I have a hard time getting good at both at the same time. I ran a half marathon last year and I did well enough but it was slower than I wanted, so I've decided to relegate running behind lifting. I'm actually kicking ass at lifting the past few months, I'm doing a Smolov Jr bench press cycle (which is stupid for someone not on gear but whatever) and I'm seeing gains. The volume is killing me though so when I complete this I'm going to stick with an Intermediate program for the foreseeable future. For specifically increasing my bench, I'm thinking 531 or Juggernaut Method. Anyone have any other recommendations? Currently 6', 195lbs, started the cycle with a calculated max of 208lbs (which is way lower than my ATH of 250 I hit back in college)

Much appreciated man, I always like seeing comments from old acquaintances. This year marks 20 years I started getting my first serious lifting advice on the Martial Arts board here (which was also the year it was created IIRC). Crazy.

You can't go wrong with 5/3/1.

PPP, how do i get bigger forearms/wrists?

You can't get bigger wrists, but you can create the illusion of that with bigger forearms through grip training like farmer's walks, plate pinch holds, and Captains of Crush grippers. Non-grip forearm stuff I like are wrist-rollers and good ol' wrist curls (it used to be vogue to mock wrist curls but I recently find myself having to rehab my elbow with them and they get the job done for giving you a forearm pump).
