Bench: Where's your sticking point? Off the chest?.. Halfway up?.. Do you feel it's your [insert pressing muscle(s)] holding you back? How's the technique seeing as bench pressing is pretty technical.
Squat: Where's your problems? Coming out of the hole?.. Is it your lower back weak? Are you just mind-fucking yourself?.. What do you do for accessory work for back (ie. pullthroughs, glute/ham raises, DB swings) -> I know the answer seeing as you were DC'ing.
Deadlift: Same as squatting. Bottom?.. Midpoint?... Last third? What do you feel is your problem? How's your technique?
And on and on and on.... Feel free to be long winded. THIS is the type of stuff you should be asking yourself if you really want to IMPROVE the big three.
Just doing the actual lifts 2-3 times a week as you want to do WILL work up to a point. There will come a time when you need a lot of accessory work to continue progress, which is why the 5 x 5 works so well in conjunction with DFHT. Eric's an example of one extreme continuing to progress with single factor 5 x 5 for what seems to be a hundred years now
, then there's others such as myself that essentially maxed out with 5 x 5, and needed to address my weakpoints with another powerlifting-specific program a la conjugate powerlifting.
