Christmas holidays- Looking for strength gains

    Hey guys, I'm on a 5 week break from sport and college and I'm hoping to use this break to get as strong as possible. I currently weigh 81 kg and having recently changed position on the rugby pitch, need to put on a bit of weight.I want to get up to 86 kg or so eventually. I'm prepared to eat as much as possible and I already know what sort of foods to be eating.
    .My most recent stats are...(dunno what my 1 rep maxes are)
    -Box Squat- 135 kg x5
    -Bench-85 kg x 4 (I'm dying to get over 100 kg in this, just for bragging)
    -Deadlift 175 kg x 4
    Pull ups-13 reps

    Basically I need to be a lot better at all of these!(maybe not the pull ups so much) Can anyone recommend me a program? I'v been doing WSFSB3 the last while,because its only lower body once a week. But I can do more now. I was thinking of using Bill Starr's 5x5. Anyone any advice? (Hanley seems to be the resident guru in this area,I'm banking on him) Thanks in advance

    If you have a lot of free time, copius food resources and the deterimation then perhaps a Sheiko routine would be worthwhile checking out.
