There will come a time sooner or later when your 'gains' will not be quite as dramatic. As of now, you're lifting optimally for the first time IMO. The template is there...Frequency, compound lifts, squat dominant, ect. Powerlifters look for 5 lb PR's a lot of the time and that's still real progress.
If you DO top off with some PR's, I would KEEP the program, but make some subtle changes to continue progress keeping the same format.
Some examples:
- Monday everything becomes 3 x 8 for a month..
- Rotate out deadlifts for power cleans for a month..
- Rotate out bench press for close grip bench for a month..
The idea is to keep what you are doing relatively the same. Exercising ideas like these will keep you fresh, motivated, and most importantly PROGRESSIVE!
That being said, continue with everything like you are doing. Good job thus far.
