The first big breakthrough I had with bodybuilding was when I changed my diet to ~1.5 grams protein per lb of lean bodyweight like you mentioned, lots of healthy fats - omega 3, 6, 9, olive oil etc... 60% complex carbs and spread out over 6 daily meals. Also 1/2 -1 gallon of water daily.
That got me from being stuck at around 190 to around 215 without too much fat gain.
The 2nd big leap was from cycling on and off of (legal) pro-hormones sold at supplement shops, 1AD, 4AD etc. That made a HUGE difference.
The original prohormones were banned but there are all sorts of new products. I have no idea of how safe or effective they are as I haven't paid attention to the supplement market in a few years.
