also, how do i know i have an acceptable strength base and i'm ready to move on to a more advanced routine?
shameful self bump
I prefer a brosplit personally. It would depend greatly on what you did for those optional exercises. I would recommend targeting shoulders and arms with those optional exercises.
Have you considered a PPLR?
Post body, stats and lifts.
Looks like banditos routine, looks pretty good to me. Probably want to do bicep stuff for those upper optional exercises.

basically the same as splitting back and front of the body.

And also that you would be targeting the same muscles int the same session. So In a push session you might do:
-DB incline
-BB press
-OHP
-Lateral raises
-Flies
-Tri kick backs
-Skull crushers
So you are going to be using a similar group of muscles and working them extensively contrary to a strength program like SS which is great for building strength but not great for hitting all the muscles in a group like a PPLR would
