Default New to the gym, need some help

Im currently 17, weigh about 140-145 pounds and i am new to the gym. I am wondering what are some good workout routines to start off with i was told to do Rippetoes starting strenght program. It goes like this:
Workout A
3x5 Squat
3x5 Bench Press
1x5 Deadlift

Workout B
3x5 Squat
3x5 Standing military press
3x5 Pendlay Rows

So week 1 might look like:
Monday - Workout A
Wednesday - Workout B
Friday - Workout A

Week 2:
Monday - Workout B
Wednesday - Workout A
Friday - Workout B

if this is any good i would like to know what is the appropriate weight to start off with.
Thanks in advance
