Any advice guys and girls?

Why are you finishing starting strength? If you're still gaining strength, stick with it. If you're only changing because you're bored, stick with it.

Well the main reason is i am stalling with some of my lifts now at this stage. I have doubled my squat and i have added an extra 25kg onto my bench so i have gained a good bit from it, just to give an example.

Since i have started to plateau now i would like to try out a workout that is more of a traditional full body ie hitting the whole body in one session, 3 times a week, and so i came up with this. My goals are to gain mass also not strenght so much

Can you quantify "doubling your squat". 40kg to 80kg is a lot different from 80kg to 160kg.
What's your current BF% (estiamte even), your nearly 90kg so not small my any measure.

Honestly, it looks like you are going backwards. From a novice strength program to a beginners program. You are hitting the same muscles every day, not a lot of time to recover. While 5x5 programs are strength based, you'll also put on mass with the right diet.

do SS until you can't linearly progress anymore.

i don't know why you're doing dips and OHP on both days or why you're rowing both days. if you're finished SS then try and make a routine based around anatomical efficiency rather than random exercises together. start with the basic template

A:
Squat
Bench
OHP

B:
Deadlift
Row
Chinup

Log your results in a log book. when you start to stall add in assistance exercises and log the results. if the assistance exercise lets you progress, keep it. if not, ditch it.

you can switch rows and OHP if you think your triceps are giving out before chest/shoulders

Thats a lot of pulling on the second day and the order of the exercises will result in diminishing returns from the press and rows. If the OP was going for a "whole body" oriented programme I'd probably start with the press on squat day and start with the bench on deadlift day. Maybe rows on squat day too.

That being said I've found switching to a 1 compound a day plus loads of extra stuff to be a lot more fun and help recovery a lot.

OP you'd need to indicate where your lifts are at relative to your bodyweight.
