DO NOT FAIL ON EVERY SET! That is terrible advice. I don't even think you should be trying to fail on your last set. Going to absolute failure is very tough to recover from. That isn't to say you should never fail because obviously you should be pushing yourself to the limit but I think it is key to get as close as possible without actually failing.

You've got a lot of exercises and volume there. Doing flat, incline, and MP all in one day seems a bit excessive ... although a lot of people do it. If anything I would trim your program down to the basics. Shoot for 3-4 exercises per day.

If you want to bulk you should be:

1) Eating a lot
2) Sleeping a lot
3) Using high volume

Personally, I don't like to sacrifice strength gains just for a little added size gain so I focus on my strength sets first and then drop the weight back afterwards to rack up some volume. Check out my journal to see what I've been up to lately.
