Cheers for the replies guys.
From your responses, I believe it would be fair to say the SL program is a good step into the right direction. I also believe that the program itself is not set in stone and if I want to up the volume (particularly when the weights are minimal), then go for it.
Working out by myself, starting with such low weights will help me to get form over strength sorted upfront, especially if there's 5 x 5 reps at least twice a week for each exercise.
I will be going in for my first session tomorrow. I plan to keep a bit of a workout diary and am going to load up with a heap of "before" pics and statistics as motivation.
Cheers.
I have been doing almost as much reading on food intake of late.
It's a further challenge to get that side right (more important).
I will be drinking water, eating up to 6 times a day, lean and healthy good food.
I have "myfitnesspal" but wasn't sure if counting calories was really required...
Will definitely make use of it to ensure that I am getting the food intake right.

This ones probably better than both, just start light and work your way up!
Your a beginner, you don't need that much rest anyway, the intensity isn't there
Could be wrong, but pretty sure that is Fuzzy lol
