Been working out for 2 months as of the 21st. I am 6'2", 172ish lbs. I started at like 165. My peak was 178.
Bench: 1rm 185, recon I could do 190
Squat: 6 reps of 235, recon I could 1rm 275
Deadlift: 3 reps of 225, recon I could 1rm 245
Is this good or bad?
Also, I have been doing hypertrophy workouts for the past two months, and even though I stopped bulking, I feel like my muscle mass is getting smaller although Im stronger than ever before. Have I plateau'd / should I switch to strength building exercises for two months?

I go low till I have one plate and a quarter, then i start kind of havnig a pacman angle but trust me I go low enough for it to count, i dont just drop like two inches. I was wondering the same thing.. maybe its just bad form on the deadlifts because I train alone and I watched youtube videos to learn how to do them. But I have fairly strong legs even though they look skinny because I've played soccer and skateboarded my entire life. Im assuming those gave me some strength. Maybe my back is just weak (small waist)

This.
I'm not here to be an *sshole, but you're perspective on lifting isn't very good. Don't ask yourself if you're lifting a lot of weight for your height/weight, just ask yourself "am I lifting heavy weight for this lift [regardless of weight/height/leverages]?". Don't assume your depth is "good enough", if your hips aren't below your knees then your depth is objectively sh*tty.

For your weight, no, you are not strong.
For 2 months of lifting, your bench is pretty good.
Not to be a dik dude, but you don't squat 275 with those legs. A squat is to parallel or lower. If it's not parallel, it's not a squat.
Good luck breh! Upper body looking good for such a short time.Bench Press - 225x18 // 275x8 // 330x1
Squat - 385x7 // 445x1
Overhead Press - 135x20 // 225x1
Deadlift - 385x11
