Yeah I'm a newbie to lifting but I did pretty physical work in a warehouse over the summer so I have that as an advantage. I never tried 5x5, I've always done like 3x8-10. With that said:
I bench like 3x10:75,95,115
DB Curl 3x10: 17.5,20,25
Squat 5x5: 90,110,130,150,160
Leg Press 3x10+1x8: 160,180,220,250
Calf Press?(machine) 4x12-15: 100,115,130,175
Shrugs 3x10-15: 25,30,35
Tricep Pushdown 4x8: 60,80,90,100

I don't know how that sounds for someone just starting out, but I feel like I'm getting a lot stronger pretty quickly and I realize that will slow down but I thought I'd add that. I also plan to start doing dead lifts because I've read how good they can be for you, but I feel like doing those without being taught properly could end up doing more harm than good. I'm going to the gym tomorrow so I'll try the Rippetoe routine and see how it works. Thanks for the input guys.
