I think you're looking for a way out of the Rippetoe workout. You just said you're interested in strength. Therefore, you need to continue doing the same program you're doing now for as long as the strength increases keep happening. You cannot keep jumping from one program to another and expect any kind of benefit whatsoever.

The DFT 5x5 layout you have posted is dual factor, not single factor like you're doing. Dual factor 5x5 has you reaching your [predetermined] rep maxes in each exercise within 3-4 weeks. You're doing a single factor type of training, which is basically a program that allows you to continue increasing the weights indefinately before stepping back and re-evaluating. You need to focus on doing the program in your journal for more than 2-3 weeks. DFHT isn't focused on strength anyways. As a matter of fact, DFHT/DFST is dual factor, which IMO you aren't anywhere near ready for. Just keep your program and focus more on eating and strength increases instead of what happens to catch your eye in the stickies....
