Lets take Bench though. I think right now 225 is my max. Maybe more but not too much. What would you think for that?
First, never try and find your max. It's a waste of a day training. There are websites that have calculators that find your max with whatever you can lift. I know muscletech.com has one. Here's something to try:
1.135 X 12 slow
-2 minute rest
2.135 X 10 fast (3-0-1)
-3 minutes rest
3.165 X 4 fast (3-0-1)
-2-3 minutes rest
4.195 X 1 (3-0-2)
-2 minutes rest
5.205 X 1 (3-0-1)
-3 minutes rest
6.225 X ?

I figure 135 is easy and you shouldn't need to dip below that. If it feels even a fraction too heavy then drop down. Just keep in your head that it won't fatigue you in the least. The first two are your warmups, then the last 3 are weight acclimation sets. Just listen to your body and record how it helped and felt. At the end of that day you'll have a good understanding of what to do.
