I did 250 for 10 rep but it was 35 lb bar which makes it easier (skinnier handle)

Did you account for the plates having holes in them?

Nah, the collars negate that.

Make sure you keep good form for deadlifts, seen a lot of people blowout their lower back.

I want to gain 10-12 lbs of muscle, but i dont really know how. I lift hard but need a better program , I'm not good at sticking to them. I'm good at working out consistently but i like doing what i feel like doing. Sometimes i rather do 100 pull up than deadlift, for example

There's no right or wrong way to do it. Eat at a caloric surplus, at least 500kcal above your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) - if you don't know yours there's a bunch of free calculators you can use online. I would use three and take the average.
I'd follow a program such as StrongLiftts, SS, or any other beginner program that follows linear progression to build a strength base. Feel free to do bodybuilding in addition to the program, but keep your recovery in mind, adequate food, rest, etc. You'll get there :)
