Hi guys,

thanks for your advice, I appreciate it. Seems like my program is pretty much on track but I think I need to work out how many calories I'm consuming - I have no idea at all at this stage.

From some other threads I've been reading, there doesnt seem to be an exact consensus on whether low reps (4-6) or higher reps (8-12) are better for mass building, as opposed to strength. Maybe the bottom line is to just hit the muscles as hard as possible irrespective of exactly how many reps.

Anyway, thanks again!
