So I have decided to change my workout routine and I have been researching these forums and I think this one sounds like the best match for me. I plan on starting it on Monday, but I am not sure what weight to start at on some of the lifts. For example on bench press I am supposed to do 3 sets of 5 reps of the same weight. If I can do a max of 275lbs x 3 what weight should I do for my 3 sets of 5? I was thinking of starting out at 225lbs. And then I need to figure out how much to start off doing on squats, but that wont be too hard considering I will be doing ATG form I will be going really light. Here is what I have come up with for Monday. Let me know what you guys think.

Workout A
3x5 Squat (ATG) - 135 lbs
3x5 Bench Press - 225 lbs
1x5 Deadlift - 135 lbs
2x10 Dips - 25lbs
2x10 Chinups

Workout B
3x5 Squat (ATG) - 140 lbs
3x5 Standing military press - 95 lbs
3x5 Bent Rows - 135 lbs
2x10 Dips - 25 lbs
2x10 Chinups

Ab work: Decline sit-ups (1x55), Vertical Leg Raise (1x25), Rope-Crunches (1x25), Dumbbell Side Bends (1x20)
