When you see the term "bulking" in that situation, it's adding lean muscle mass that's being referred to. I assume you want to add lean muscle mass. Try a program that has you doing squats, deadlifts, presses, and rows. Those are really the only movements you need. The one that you posted talked about all kinds of concentration curls, leg press, smith machine exercises, etc. These compound movements will put on muscle the fastest. And they will make you stronger than doing isolation exercises.
A program can't make you gain muscle. A program and good diet together will. What you can do is choose the best program that will help you to reach your goals the quickest and follow it. Then adjust your diet based on what's acceptable as far as fat/muscle gain is concerned. Whatever you're planning on doing, the diet is the most important part. You actually have a good base as far as food selection goes. Your macros are decent. Just get your pre and post workout nutrition right and increase your calories some.
