    Check out the 5-3-1 program. It's an easy way to start and improve at a consistent pace.

    5/3/1 is more for intermediate lifters. I mean you can do it as a beginner, but its best for those who have experience with the big 3 lifts and OHP and who want to continue building strength with those lifts. While sets are easy and logical, it is by no means for a beginner as it requires you to establish a "training max" before even starting the program, which requires you to lift in a safe manor right off the back.

    Great programs for beginners include strongcurves, stronglifts 5x5, or any sort of linear progressive programming.

    Glad you have a plan. As Niner said starting strength a good place to start too.
