    Default Where to start?

    Greetings everyone. I am new to the starting strength program and looking to get started with it. For the past year and a half I've been doing Crossfit so I am no stranger the lifts in the Starting Strength program.

    With beginning the starting strength program, I am looking for weights to begin with. I am 6'4" 240lbs and 39 years old.

    My most recent numbers for lifts are as follows:
    1rm Back squat = 285 (highbar, if that matters)
    1rm bench = 175 (this has always been a weak area for me)
    1rm power clean - 205
    1rm strict press - 140
    1rm Deadlift - 365

    Do you have the book? It details the procedure for finding your starting weights. Hint: it's not based off a % of your __RM.

    This doesn't surprise me, for some reason. Read the book thoroughly; don't skim.
