Answer Hi Josh I admire your dedication keep up the hard work. Start with your diet first. You should be taken in about 3500 calories a day. Make sure you have a good combination of protein, veggies and whole grain carbs. I am not allowed to give you the exact amount of protein grams you should have, but do some research, that will be the nutrient you really need to get in the correct proportions.
As far as your lifting goes mix it up get some really heavy lifting days in and do some plyometrics here and there.
