I’ve been training natural for 7 years and I am currently 20 years old at the moment and I’ve hit a plateau in my growth, I’ve changed my routine up from focusing on strength to higher reps and more squeeze back and forth so many times and nothing seems to make a difference. Looking for advice on a routine or method to spark growth again (pls don’t recommend steroids as I am not about that). Tyvm xxx

Your physique is in good order and PPL w/ progressive overload is prob a suitable routine - if you list your routine you can get comments.
I doubt protein is the issue - you likely need to eat more in general and be willing to gain some weight (and fat) for a period of time to push yourself through your plateau. Then you can cut once you feel you're happy w/ your size gains.

You didn't say if your weight was going up or not. Really, you need a net calorie surplus to be sure of an ideal anabolic environment.
You'll need at least 150g of protein per day total from all foods and shakes.
Split is not a big issue, total workload is - it doesn't matter how your portion it out across the week that much.
If you find you can't increase the number of sets because of fatigue, it might pay to have a deload or take time off completely and then come back with a lower volume level - and gradually build it up again.

How do you make sure that you have reached the genetic ceiling?
How tall?
How much weight?
What is the percentage of fat?
What are other anthropometric measurements?
What are the strength indicators in the "classic" exercises-
squat, deadlift, press standing / sitting, bench press, pull-ups with weight, etc.?
Without this data, any answer to you would be a fortune-telling on coffee grounds ... or on a magic ball)))bench press 167.5 kgx1, 125 kgx13, 100 kgх24
standing press 100 kgx1, 82,5 kg 4 sets х 5 reps
deadlift 230 kgx1, 200 kgx4, 190 kg 3 sets x 5 reps
raw squat 180 kgx1, 150 kg 5x5
chin-ups +25 kg x10 reps
