The Mark Rippletoe program 0311 quoted you above is a full-body three times a week program. There was a time when I might have said something different but now I'll say I wish I had done something like this starting out. Yes, absolutely, I think a full body program is a great way for ANYONE to go, let alone a begginer.

This program will develop any incredible base of strength and get you phenomenal gains provided you eat enough. It's going to feed into whatever you choose to do afterwards much better, I think, then some lightweight high volume split.

The only problem I could see is that you are indicating you are completely knew to deadlifting and squatting. You have to do them for the best gains on a program like this (or any other of course) but it may not be a good idea to learn them on a program using relatively heavy weights and where you'll be doing squats and dead for the first time in the same workout. So you may want to just start trying them for a couple of weeks with light weights and get your form down, etc. If you did want to get right into it, you'd definitely want to start with moderate weight and not necessarily as heavy as your cabable of at 5 reps.

Some others might have some better of more specific ideas on this.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
