Of course technique and keeping form is most important as well as pushing your limits, that extra rep per session is truly what makes you bigger, I know a lot about working out in general. Obviously not everything but I go with a personal trainer who is my mate who answers all my questions.
I do go to failure for every excercise although I can still work out maybe 2 days later on that muscle group since it needs recuperation, although I did deadlift for the first time a couple weeks ago… And my god! My back hurt for 3 days but loosened up after doing another gym session on full biceps.
yeah see this is probably why you’re not bulking, as you’re not doing the compound lifts. Also you’re back shouldn’t really hurt after dead lifts as it’s mainly for your legs (although some back) … you might have your form wrong as it’s very easy to use your back muscles instead of driving down with your legs as you’re supposed to with dead lifts.

You even lift brah?! (serious btw..)
Hate people who know nothing about it and think they need to do 9,000 DB curls everyday using mainly their shoulders to get big arms.. so much broscience in the world of bodybuilding..
I used to lift, but I’ve got so many injuries from other things I’m giving it a rest till I’ve sorted out some problems. Also with my work, it’s like being in the gym for 10 hours a day anyway lol.
Eat a high protein diet to gain weight fast.

Everyone goes on about high protein this, protein shakes that, but the reality is you’re body can’t utilise protein properly without carbohydrates (this is why I despise the Atkins diet, as you’re basically starving your self as you can’t even metabolise the protein you eat properly, hence the weight loss).
Gaining muscle mass is about eating a higher intake of BOTH carbohydrates AND protein at a balanced ratio best for you; This can range from 20:80 protein:carbs to 50:50 depending on the person but it’s normal around 35:65ish, one third protein two thirds carbs or twice as much carbs as protein.
I forgot to mention, you want about 20% of your overall intake to be fat as well believe it or not! If you eat a too low fat diet you’re body will only burn carbs as a source of fuel, so you’ll hold on to fat more readily (this also happens if you eat too many high GI carbs as they are easier to burn, so your body will burn them more readily then fat as they are less complex in their structure and they are easier to store as fat too), if you intake a bit of fat, your body will be more inclined to burn it as fuel. Things like nuts are a perfect source of fat that’s really good for you.
Also there’s certain important vitamins that are absorbed into fat, so without it you’ll most likely be low on a fair few main vit groups; A,D,E and K.
LOW GI carbs are the way forward.

As I’ve said before, if you just want to bulk out with “show muscle” (notice how in the world strongest man, they are not cut) then carry on doing what you are doing but it is purely aesthetic. If on the other hand you want fast, striking power for fighting, you don’t need supplements and you need to do many reps with light weights and constant punches with no weights at all. Also 500 pressups never hurts, especially if you work down from palms to fists to tiger to back of the wrists.
Forms, weapons and resistance training (skin on skin) are also good!
