Regimen I think maybe its time I switch to a more advanced powerlifting program? Please help my decision...

What about aditional training and goals ?

I'm not looking to just do a few main lifts and go for strength only

gotta be honest I am shocked you are considering a program

the world of pre-fabricated programs can be a bit crazy there are probably 10's of thousands out there.
there are the basic stuff that are 5/3/1 or stronglifts based for basic power lifting begging work. they usually depend on linear progression (so adding weight every week or Session for a lift)
honestly if you want to set aside 6 months just to do that with consistency you could add a lot of weight to you're lifts considering you seem to be a naturally strong guy.

that being said if you are looking to throw in more other work there is a lot of info out there. some stuff that resonated with me

1. power lifting and body building (power building):
I listened to a podcast from Dave tate(an authority in the power lifting world) but he was basically complaining (as old peeps tend to do) about how modern lifter s are too specific to quickly (you're complaint of only doing a couple lifts) he said that back in the day before the internet blew up that many dudes who went into power lifting were first gym bros who had put in years of body building work and built up a physique which would help them a lot with strength work later.
he basically said that his approach would be to do you're basic power lifting work first and then allocate 20 mins after to just let your inner bro out and smash partials on the machines, db flys and curls for the girls.

2. fitness and strength :
so this area gets prettuucky due to cross fit and general athletic gurus throwing weird shit at the wall. that being said a good approach I found that works for me is doing giant sets ala Brian Alsruhe.

so basically if your main lift is bench and you have 5 x 60% . you can do 5 rounds of a giant set
so first do an antagonist movement (bench is a push so antagonist would be a pull) so barbell row could be a good choice
then bench and after do some core work for example planks or Russian twists

Brian also sometimes has a cardio movement in there to keep your hr up like 45sec jump rope sprint.
so it would look like this
giant set 1 bench
BB row 8x55%, bench 5x60%, plank 30 sec and jump rope 45 sec
rest 90 secs to 2 mins and go again

it can be pretty brutal especially because he advocates explosive movements for leg stuff so start with box jumps then do squats abs and cardio

that being said running it semi consistent does get you feeling way fitter

3. programs are made to be customizable.

so don't treat a program like it's the bible. Instead do what you can and add more stuff you like when you can and taperoff when you can't.

a lot of this depends on your goals and for you it might help to actually get those goals down so you don't get lost.

for me right now I am working towards

power lifting 160kg bench, 110kg push press , 190kg squat and 240kg dl.
Olympic lifts 120kg clean and jerk, 102.5 kg snatch
I am not close but seeing growth over time while grinding is pretty satisfying and keeps me consistent

You don’t have to do SBD only. Sometimes you just want a regular program where you can in done in an hour. You don’t want to be the gym for hours everyday trying to fight demons.

This is a great time to get into fitness. There are many programs and resources that are available.

This caught my attention and I agree with it.

Think of the old school powerlifting champions like Bill Kazmaier... Did he do Sheiko? Did he do dynamic effort days on box squats? Nah. He just pumped iron while going heavy on the main compound lifts.

And that's how it should be. I of course stick to Doug Hepburn's system, but the old school bodybuilders who followed "DC training" got massive and strong without knowing any top secret Russian BS.

I think you misunderstood
he was saying beginners in particular. but basically his point was having a well rounded physique is a benefit. instead of going too specific in certain movements.

Dave tate worked closely with Louis at west side and is a big advocate of conjugate training. he mentioned in another podcast that he wished he switched to it earlier than riding with linear progression for so long. once he started hitting a wall he started diving into the Russian stuff etc..
