Moving Up a Weight Class

Well, I decided to start my ascent to the 82.5kg (181lb) weight class for powerlifting. Currently in the 165s, but I think it’s safe to say that for my height (5’9) I have to be heavier and carrying more muscle. Diet wise, I’m new to this, so bear with me. I’m currently working a fairly intense labor job for the rest of july into mid-august, but after that I’m back to school/teaching (fairly sedentary). Either way, let me know how it looks, and if possible, maybe recommend some extra foods/meals. I don’t really care about eating the same thing every day.

Keep in mind I have weekends off, so the diet will be about the same, possibly with more calories added on.

Much Thanks,

PB
