This site sells coaching services, they are expensive but good.
Much cheaper is the book Practical Programming for Strength Training v3, but I warn you that many (most?) people lack the real-world coaching experience to apply it effectively. Certainly I screwed up my own programming quite a bit despite reading it carefully.
There's a lot of good judgement required to fine-tune the various training templates for particular lifters.
I know a lot of guys with similar stats to yours have made good progress on templates described in PPSTv3 such as HLM, TM, and HL-split.
But a properly customized 5-3-1 works too. What program were you running, that got you to where you are now? Why did you stop doing that one?
