Looks like a pointless program to me like most of them do.
I would think 5-3-1 would serve you well Alcatraz.

Because it's a good program focusing on the big basics. It's a scientifically sound routine that has built in progression and deloading.
That and you can customize the assistance work to suit your needs.

You pick a tool for the job at hand. So what are your goals?
Is it mostly a strength program?
consistent strength and size gains.

5/3/1 is a decent cookie cutter unless you are like me and don't like to do cookie cutter programs.
Somehow I don't feel the 5/3/1 would be good enough after having done DC training

DC Training is for BB'ers. If you want to train for strength then train for strength. Make the tool fit the task. You're making the task fit the tool lol.

Why not just do DC then?
Do you have a link that details what this would look like bor?
just finished my DC run...I'm taking about a month off of the gym and looking for something different and more strength oriented.

The program was designed by Jim Wendler who squatted 1000lbs at 275lbs. Guy is a very widely known former powerlifter.
I'm pretty sure you could get good size with the program even though it's strength geared because he gives all kinds of assistance options ranging from exercises to focus on week spots to set/rep protocols good for gaining size/stimulating hypertrophy.
This is a good link to the program:
