Looking for a new routine.
Currently 178 lbs, bench is like 150, squat 180, deadlift like 200. Those are not maxes, just working weight, and its approximate. I started at like 95 lbs for bench and squat and just been steadily adding weight every week. My previous maxes several years ago were more like 200/275/315. But at that time I put on alot of fat with dirty bulking. I used to be super skinny before that and I had no knowledge of nutrition.

Long story short, I have 2 goals and 1 time-frame. Goals: 1. Look aesthetic 2. Hit certain benchmarks on my lifts (Bench 275, Squat 365, and Dead 405). Time-frames: 2 years - in 2 years exactly I will move back to california and be back around my family and friends, so I wanna go back yoked.

So I've been doing a PHUL type of workout, but I want to do something a bit more structured. I want to get my lifts up. I've been looking into: GZCL, 5-3-1 for beginners, 5-3-1 BBB, Texas Method, Juggernaut Method, etc. I just can't decide.

If I run 5-3-1 BBB or beginner for 2 years, that's 24 cycles, I can add a lot of weight to my lifts and get bigger.

Should I run this while recomping or clean bulking? Or should I recomp til I stall then start bulking?

I honestly don't like jumping around to different programs, once I have it modified to fit everything I want.
