Default Finished DFT 5x5 Now What??

Hey, i just finished up DFT 5x5 it was awesome! great results, boosted my bench (all of these are counting the full 5x5 sets completed with that weight) from a 195 5x5 to 235, my squat from 205 5x5 to 315 and my Deads from 165 5x5 to 295....i did it for ten weeks, it suggested 12 but my body needed a break, now im getting back after a week off and was thinking of a 5 day split 2 on 1off 2 on and i would like to hit the full body in the first two days, as well as the secound two days....like monday be chest, shoulders, bi
tuesday be back, legs, tri
thursday chest shoulders bi
fri back legs tri

i still want to incorporate the big lifts deads squats bench etc...but stagger them some how such as deads tuesday, with light squats, then the next leg day heavy squats with a lighter back day....same with shoulders, a standing mil press one day, then somthing lighter the secound time that week so i can concentrate on heavy bench.....so as to beable to work everything without it affecting my performance from muscle to muscle....

I am really trying to gain size, (reason i did 5x5 DFT) and now i feel i should spend a few weeks (6-8) targeting each group but still hitting the essentials....any ideas on a good workout plan for somthing like this...THANKS!

and thanks for the 5x5 DFT suggestion, i posted a while back, and that workout was amazing, i ate so much these last ten weeks and didn't even put on too much fat (and never did cardio once! well a little basketball on the weekends)
