Yeah I'm completely new to lifting. I googled finding your max, but definitely will take any advice.
Deadcember had the best advice IMO. Start with sets of 3 reps. Increase the weight as you go until you can't get 3 and there is your training max. May not be your true 1RM but its a good starting point.
I had no idea where to start when I started Deadcember 2 years ago and I did hos method and it was very close for me. I ended up going up 25 pounds to my 1RM at the end of the month.

How do you guys pick weights for stuff like 5_ 5_ 5_ 5_ 10_?
In his example he has:
5 90 5 95 5 100
I’m used to doing percentage of 1RM, pyramid, reverse pyramid, or straight sets reducing reps and I usually stop my set close to or at failure.
