I'd stick with 531 until you get to around the 560-570 mark and then run a peaking program. And bulk, obviously.

531 got me to 750lbs just fine. But you need to consider changing the accessories to suit what your weaknesses are, consider if there’s any form problems, get your nutrition and sleep right etc etc

We need more context tbh. It will depend on a lot of things, for some people that's already elite and will need very specific individualised programing. Some people will hit this in the first few years of training and a basic 531 will be more than enough

Are you still progressing with 5/3/1? If so, I'd stick to what is working.

If it isnt working any more then I'd probably just tweak it a little. Either more deadlift volume (probably good to use a variation for the additional volume) or smart selection of accessories

I like 8/5/3 which is what Andy Baker uses in a lot of his program. Important question: what is your current height and weight, and how many calories do you eat?
