I'm thinking of using a Push/Pull. I read that the body knows movements, not muscle groups so the push/pull works well for that.

I'm not really sure what your trying to say here. I dont know what "your body knows" is suppose to mean. And i'll be honest I think this routine is garbage. Especially if your goal is strength gains.

Military Press 4 sets
Close Grip Pres 3 sets

This is most definately over working your tri's. Every movement there hits the tri's hard, by the time you get to military press you wont be able to push optimal wieghts. your endurance may go up, but your strength and size will not, they may even suffer.

I wouldnt squat and deadlift in the same day, you will fry your cns, and your numbers will suffer on both lifts.

. I don't like 5x5 because of the ramping weight over a period of time. Honestly when I did 5x5 I didn't gain much strength and I didn't get any size.

not to be an asshole, but if your not ramping up weight over time, how do you expect to gain strength? Are you just gonna put on the amount of weight you want to do eventually, and push till one day you can magically lift it? Doesnt work that way bro.
what 5x5 routine were you using? I would suspect that you were doing something wrong if you didnt gain using a decent 5x5 set up. I've been using 5x5's of different kinds for 9 years, and i've never seen
NO gains.
