I would flip onto another strength program and up the kcals as other people have been say then go for hypertrophy.
It was very well put that “who’s going to get a better hypertrophy worked the guy who can bench 200lb or the guy that can bench 150lbs?” (Cressey, I think)
So you’re saying get stronger before going for size?
I find these stats really interesting, since we are relatively similar but your deadlift is comparably weak to the rest of your stats. Meaning as it’s one of the most strength defining lifts that a) your were using poor form or b) you were using poor form on your other lifts. I am not saying that my stats are perfect but I am not starting a hypertrophy program till I hit at least 400lbs/180kg deadlift 3RM.
This is due to the fact that I believe doing 9 months of strength then 3 months of hypertrophy will yield better results at my stage of development then going for 12 months of hypertrophy. By doing the 9 months of strength cycles I will be able to lift more volume in the whole workout during the 3 months of hypertrophy than I would be doing say in the first 3 months of a 12 month hypertrophy cycle. But then also I would have base strength (although the benchmark is defined by me) which would mean that if I didn’t want to hypertrophy I could easily find another program.
As everyone else has said eating is important and should be viewed on the same level as workout, sleep and relaxation. Without all four you are going to not see the gains you would have hoped for.

I haven’t been training as long as you have. That’s my guess because my deadlift shot up like nothing in weight and was still increasing before I had to switch to a different routine.

In total I have trained effectively for about maybe 15 months of weights programs from stength to power to hypertrophy to endurance as my coaches liked flipping it up.
I know this thread is swaying to hypertrophy but may I suggest you check out the Beast Building program by
Christian Thibaudeau as in agrees with what you want, other people are suggesting and what I think. It last three months and really varied.
