This week the S&P forum helped me out with developing an effective strength & mass-building routine which I've just started to follow. I'm used to calisthenics & other [reasonably poor] weight exercises (ie: 1x20 military press, etc.) and have never done the below workouts (squats [with weights], deadlifts, bench-press, etc.) Because I'm new to this, I'm not lifting heavy. Example: 120 for bench press 3x5, 150 for deadlifts 1x5, etc.
Because the weight is so low I'm worried that if I try to bulk I may gain more fat than muscle. What I'm wondering is how to approach a new diet - whether I should wait to bulk until I can lift more or start eating big now. I don't want to over-eat/get fat but at the same time I want to bulk up (right now I'm 6'2, 177; no idea BF% but I don't look at all fat). Additionally, I don't know how many calories to consume.
Any advice on what path to take would be much appreciated.
My workout routine:

*In addition to Karate 3x/week*
You alternate Workout A and Workout B every other day, 3 times a week. So you could either do Mon, Wed, Fri or Tues, Thurs. and Sat. Depending on what works best for you.
Example:
Week 1:
Monday - Workout A
Wednesday -Workout B
Friday - Workout A
Week 2:
Monday - Workout B
Wednesday - Workout A
Friday - Workout B
Etc.
For the actual workouts read below:
