    Eat more, and don't train to failure every time. You're likely over training by working out for that long and going to failure, it's far too taxing on your muscles and cns. It's pretty easy to make yourself think that if you're not giving it 100%, you're not going to make any gains, but stopping yourself a rep or two shy of failure will probably provide some great results for you.

    tl;dr=ease off a little bit, eat more.
    (I'm not saying that training to failure doesn't work for some people, but for most it doesn't.)

    Yea, you don't really list your diet, and I'm going to assume its the major issue. If you are trying to gain weight, you have to be on a positive caloric intake, preferably a massive positive intake. You are 160 lbs, so for a quick solution I'd say aim to eat 20-25 cals/lb. That's 3200-4000 calories, in balance. For your goals I'd say try a balance of 35% protein, 45% carbs and 20% fat. So that's about 280-350g of protein, 288-360g carbs, and 71-89g of fat.

    Write it all down. For diets, this is key. Make sure you aren't missing anything.
