How much weight? (Yes I'm an idiot but this seems the most difficult part of getting started)
I'm just starting SS, well before I can properly begin it I'm trying to figure how much weight I can do each exercise properly on. But I feel like i'm always either too much or too low.
If it's "just so you can barely do 5 reps" then my body can't finish those 5 reps on the next sets. Lowering down enough to be able to do 3 sets of 5, i feel i can do more than 5.
In order, which exercise requires the most weight?
Squat > Deadlift > bench > press = clean ?

Look just start with something thats too light and add 5kg the next workout or 2.5kg if its too much. Even if you think its too light and want to add more weight faster I promise you it will get heavy in a few weeks and you will stall and be forever dyel. So dont go 50 bench next day 60 next day you feel good and go 70 but then next day it gets hard and you go back to 60. Also new people always have garbage form like shaking and not performing every rep the same, you need to get those movements into your musclememory.

You don't go to muscle failure on SS.
Start light, then add 2,5kg per side and session. If you fail in your third set just stay on that weight and try again next session. (Afaik).
Also what's /fit/'s opinion on negative/assisted reps?

Start low, take a notebook with you and write down what you did. Just do linear progression and increase weight slightly each workout if possible.
