I would think you'd be better off focusing on a few weeks of power and then a few weeks of hypertrophy rather than switching to both in the same week. You need some time to get good at whatever you're focusing on before switching. If you want to do both id say work power for a month and then hypertrophy for a month.
Also squatting and deadlifting on the same day probably isn't a good idea especially if you're just getting back into the gym

I ran PHUL for a while
I ended up adding more chest work because I was making little progress. My workouts ended up being 2 hours long per day

Damn, that’s a lot of exercises.

That looks a lot like one of Layne Norton’s PHAT routines.
I love the body part twice a week. No comment really here.

Phul programs are fine, but aren't you pretty weak to begin with? Also aren't you older like most of us here, like late 30s or something? I ask because that's a lot of volume for someone that age.
Coming off any type of break, I highly suggest you hit an LP first.
I'll be honest, unless you are really strong, then this routine is full of "frickarounditus".
Also what does your progression look like?
Be honest can you commit 90 minutes 4 times a week, because that's what this routine will take at a minimum.
Personal opinion would be stick to gslp for 12 weeks or so and hit those frequency Method bodyweight work. Master the basics, then go to madcow for atleast one run, then 531 for 1.
But atleast give us your stats
Age
Height/weight
Squat/press/dead/bench maxes
Number of chins & pushups you can do
Previous experience
Injuries or other restrictions
From there, we can help you more.
