Confused about starting weights

Hi all,
Sorry to have to ask this but I really am confused about the weights I should start with. I haven't done much heavy lifting so am pretty much a newbie.
I was thinking for squats- 20kg (45lbs) for the warm ups, then doing the 5x5 with 25kg (55lbs)
Bench Press- maybe start with warm ups of 15kg (33lbs), then 5x5 20kg (45lbs)??
Barbell Row- warm ups 15kg, then 5x5 20kg??
I really don't have a clue if that's right? Which exercise should use the most weights? What weights should I start with for overhead press and deadlifts??
Please help me!

Many of us started with just the bar for all exercises! It's a good idea so that you can really concentrate on form!
Also, if you have an iPhone, get the SL app....it's a Godsend!0
