Strength program
I am 29 and been working out for about a decade now and feel like i hit a point where my strength is not developing anymore. My total in squat, deadlift and bench was stuck between 1305 and 1350lbs for few years now and I don't have an idea how I can overcome this breakpoint.
Usually I workout 5 to 6 times a week and I was able to maintain a nice shape over the years but I think for a 6.2, 255lbs frame my total is less than average as I see guys on youtube with my size or even smaller passing me by hundreds of lbs in total.
Can someone recommmed a strength program for me that can help me overcome this issue of mine. Thank you.

TOH19,
Your question is a bit conflicting. You mention wanting to get stronger but also maintaining a "nice shape". The two goals are not mutually exclusive but if you want to achieve maximal muscular strength you may have to sacrifice some physique goals and the same applies to achieve the extreme end of hypertrophy or physique goals you may have to sacrifice some strength. Of course, there are always outliers but you don't see many powerlifters with ripped abs or bodybuilders benching 2x their body weight.
I don't know exactly what you are looking for and don't have enough details to prescribe an exact program or criticize your program but I'll try to provide you with something that will be beneficial.

Prior to a strength phase such as this, it would be recommended to complete 6-12 weeks of an adaptation and hypertrophy.
