Is this anything you could critique me on ?
Im doing all my sets on 3 x 10
Is this wrong looking for strength ?
I train monday, tuesday, thursday in the order of those workouts.

Im 6ft tall and vary between 160 and 170 pounds
Looking to gain strength
My mate follows same programme and has seen lots of gains but i want some solid trustworthy advice from proven strongmen

Basically you need to change to low rep,high weight training.2-5 reps.Me and my gym gang usually do a strength session once a fortnight of 8 sets of 3 reps on bench,squat and dead at a weight thats double what we would normally do.I'm affraid im no 'proven' strongman but i'm trying to learn a bit more about this the same as you.Run your eye over this article that i came accross it might help you get your head round things a bit.

simplest thing i can suggest is to cut your volume of exercises-thereby having more energy to put your all in to the remaining exercises.
you`ll find the first few weeks workouts easy,but you`ll add weight each week thereby increasing the effort and intensity.......

my first month i did 3-4 sets of 4-6 reps on each exercise. i found this gave me MASSIVE strength increases, i added weight each time. now im doing a higher rep range but i was suggested this and it worked for me.
