How's 13 Stone?

When I first started training my main goal was to be HUGE, but because I lacked knowledge of how to do this I gave up. Well, when I say gave up, I mean that after 2years of training and gaining 2 stone I turned to getting stronger instead. But the old need for a bit of size (and looking good) has always been lurking in my head, and I have decided to give it a go.
I have set myself a goal of 13 stone, not huge by any means but its where I want to go before reassessing the situation. I am not going to be doing any crazy diets, i'm going to do this old school....pretty much just eating more than I do now, lol. I have decided that an extra tin of tuna, or chicken breast, with some pasta every day will do for the first few weeks. This is because I don't know how my body will react to the increase in calories and I don't want to put on an extra stone of fat. Eventually things like having eggs in the morning (anything in the morning will be an improvement, lol) and extra sandwiches at lunch time may be added, but like I said I want to take it step by step incase I go overboard.
I know I have said I want to take part in powerlifting, but I may just have to move to the 82,5kg class instead of the 75kg class. Honestly though there isn't much of a difference in what the guys are lifting in these 2 classes so I am not worried.
Also, I have taken pictures (front, back, side) and I will take more every month or so to see how huge i'm getting, lol just jokes. I may upload the first pics soon, so watch this space!!

Bit of Fun

On Friday nights I go to the gym and do a bit of bagwork and skipping etc, pretty much for fun. I started doing box jumps a few weeks ago and thought I would take a video of them to put up.
Well here is my first video, a 46ish inch box jump:
