Hi all. I'm 29 years old, 6ft 1, 12 stone, my goal is to gain quality muscle without excessive fat gain. I'm a total newbie but I'm determined to make a change in my life through hard work and dedication. I appreciate any advice and encouragement that anyone can give me. I've been reading through all the beginner articles and putting together a beginner bulking plan.

I'm working hard on a diet plan and I'll put that up when I've finished it. I know how important it is to lay a good foundation so I'm reading everything I can find and trying to put together a really solid plan. Thanks for reading this and for any advice.

Did my 1st workout today. I changed from 8-10 to 15 reps on the advice of the trainer at the gym. I am completely new to this and have not done any training for 5-6 years so it was quite a pummelling I took but I got through it!

Flat Barbell Bench Press: 3sets of 15 reps   20kg
Bent Over Barbell Row: 3sets of 15 reps  20kg
Seated Dumbbell Press: 3sets of 15 reps  10kg dbs
Barbell Curl: 3 sets of 15 reps 20kgs
Lying Triceps Extension: 3sets of 15 reps  5 kgs
 
I told the trainer about my diet, 6 or so meals 3500 cals etc, and he told me I should just eat normally for the next few weeks while my body gets used to it. What do you think to this? I feel that I should be certainly heading towards my 3500 cal target even if I am just acclimatising because my body will obviously be trying to develop new muscle tissue right from day 1. Thanks for any input, and have a great weekend!
