Beginner workout plans?

Rabin

My background:
37 years old
5'9"
Active and athletic up to around the age of 26 (went through some *kitten* and gained about 100 lbs over the next 10 years,)
Started dieting in April and have gone from 302 lbs to 265, my goal weight is 180 lbs for now.

I'm ready to start a weight training regimen at home. I have a a bench, barbells and dumbbells. My goal is to burn calories/fat and add muscle.

Can anyone suggest a 3 day a week routine?

Thanks,

Brian

Congrats on the weight loss. I agree with above poster that stronglifts is ideal but I'm guessing that as you have home gym, you won't have enough weights to keep progressing with strong lifts,
I would recommend similar principals with stronglifts in that you should stick to compound movements but lift with around reps of 10-12 and sets of 2-3. Lower the weights real slow (around 4 seconds) and lift fast (1 second). This will keep the exercise difficult and overload the muscles without the need of going too heavy.
A typical workout plan would look like this and be repeated 3 times per week ( every other day)

Squats 3x10-12
Deadlift 3x10-12
Bench 3x10-12
Shoulder press 2x10-12
Barbell curls 2x10-12
