Does SS implement intensity periodization? I wasn't able to find anything on it and I'm finding that increasing weights every workout is arbitrary since whether I'm able to handle those weights or not depends on how intense my past workout is. I find that I'm progressing slowly as a result of constantly pushing myself to a point where my eyes turn red and I start to see things. For example, 2 workouts ago, deadlifting 235 lbs was the easiest thing for me -- I just exploded off the floor with the bar 5 times for 3 sets, whereas this time, I had trouble getting 245 lbs off for 3 sets of 3 reps.

SS is a meme, don't fall for it

congrats, you're nearing the point where you need to switch to an intermediate program.
now eat more and continue to run the course until SS is finished.

Isnt this determined by being able to do 1/2/3/4? I'm nowhere near close to that

its determined by not being able to gain linearly anymore

Cool, would Bill Starr/Reg Park's 5x5 be a good program to follow up with? If not, what programs would you recommend?

Texas method is the most commonly recommended here but I didn't improve much on that.
I found 5/3/1 to be better, although that seems to get a bad rap here.
Disclaimer: I think the main reason I didn't improve much on Texas was because I wasn't eating enough. At the time though I wasn't trying to put on a lot of weight.
