Hitting the Gym

Hi all,
Got to my goal weight, now heading to gym to try build muscle.
Any advise for a newbie?
I have organised 14x PT 60min sessions, ad start this Monday.
I did goto gym for a few months in my Teens but never really saw many results as i did not work on my DIET at all, and was probally doing under 1500 calories back then being on a student diet.
My question in addtion to any advise, would be how realistic my expectations are for results. I'm travelling around NZ in march for 3 weeks, and i want to be in good shape to hit the beachs etc.
I told my PT i want to build muscle for 3.5 months then cut for 3 weeks to be defined. He said i can achieve noticable results with this plan, but i'm unsure if i'm just being told what i want to hear. No matter the reality, i will still continue as planned, but i do want to ask what you all think. I'm 6ft 4, 100ish KG, Mesomorph bodytype, i have been in a office for 3 years, and do no form of strengh training atm. I plan to have 3 Heavy Weight PT sessions a week, and two sessions at home doing recovery or light sessions.
I'm currently increasing my calorie intake from 1800 to 2500, and aiming for 200g protien.

Sounds like a good plan. Cardio will strip fat fast but the strength will drop it slow too but definately but muscle. It's not your weight to watch but your body fat percentage. Sounds like your trainer knows what they are doing.0

Well done on achieving your goal i have got more to go but also have just started gym work to tighten up the loose bits

I've spent the last almost 2 months on a mission to put on some new muscle mass and wrap up in a few weeks to start cutting. I've planned out a considerably longer cutting cycle than you have as my body fat was still quite high and I really want to get down to as close to 10% as possible.
Currently I'm eating 3000+ calories a day, around 200g protein consumed.
As for exercise I'm lifting weights 4 days a week and play basketball twice a week. I'm also taking creatine and a test booster.0
