Hopefully this will become a good place to start when we are looking for what to do next. There are threads about specific programs but one kind of needs to know what to look at which doesn't help when I don't know what I don't know. The idea is to start with the goal, then a program that suits it. There are tons of non-StrongFirst programs out there and even more StrongFirst programs that can go in here but felt this was an ok start based on my personal opinions of why I would choose one over another.
