Give 3sets of 12-15reps a go, it'll help your muscles with their endurance.

And that justifies bad spelling?

You say that you're concerned that you'll gain too much weight from doing the routine that you outlined? I wouldn't worry about it. You might consider dropping a set now and then. Perhaps every other week do two sets at 4–6 reps plus one to failure. On alternating weeks do your normal three sets at 4–6 reps plus one to failure.

Another alternative would be to modify every third week so that you are doing two sets at 8–12 reps plus one to failure (using a different weight than you would for the 4–6 rep range, of course).

Good luck!

so like um if you arn't into getting big why lift? you can achieve a cut phsyique with just cardio (like boxing) and diet.

in any case, a poor diet + any type of training regime = very little results.....most people assume it's the training that makes them big...it isn't (well, it is, but with a poor diet you ain't going anywhere)

Yeh its still hot but summer is officially over
Its winter in Melbourne for 3/4's of the year, I'm near Sydney so the weather varies.
