Bulk training..

Hi folks,

Just wondered if anyone could offer some advice/tips/info etc...?

Got back into training properly @ new year, having trained on and off last year - mainly off, to be honest!!

Was 5'10" and 18st at the start of 2008.....still 5'10" now ;-) but down to 16/16.5st. Mainly been doing weights, and a little cardio. Also dropped carbs, and even stopped drinking (alcohol) for 3mths.

Want to bulk now, but keep it as clean as poss - not just pile on the 2st I've lost!!....by the way, I didnt set out to lose 'x amount' of weight, just to get into training, focus + enjoy it...the weight loss has been a pleasant side effect.

Could some one help me with my routine...?

Was thinking of something like (chest as example):
Incline d.bell press 5 x 5
Flat d.bell press 5 x 5
D.bell flies 4 x 12
Cable flies 4 x 12
Incline press - b.bell 3 x 8

What do you think? - my thinking is to use the low rep/high weight for strength, and higher reps for hypertrophy...

Thanks
