I've lifted for 2 years, much of it doing SS 3x5.
I'm now looking to move into a PPL routine, one that'll primarily help me improve on the big compounds.
I'd like feedback on the workout I've come up with. I'm going to run it 4 days -- i.e. Mon-Pull, Tues-Push, Wed-Off, Thurs-Legs, Fri-Pull, weekend off, etc.
Also, a key question: for the big compound lifts (on which I do 4x5) would you guys suggest I ramp up each set or just stay at a constant weight for the 4 sets and move up in weight when I can do 4 sets of 5? The latter way is how I've always done it -- never done ramping before within sets.

Bent Row 4x5
