What do you think of this /fit/?
MWF
Pulldown/chin-ups
Overhead Press
Squat
All reps are 5x5 with ramping sets.
Beginners can start with the bar and keep increasing 2.5 lbs a workout for the top set.
This may seem small, but it gets you to a 135 lb press in 3 months without much injury risk.
Bench and deadlift can be added once the 1 plate press is achieved so that you get something like this:
Day A
Weighed Chin-ups
Press
Squat
Day B
Deadlifts
Bench
Squat
Given your OHP base, bench should progress at least 5-10 lbs every time you do it.

if i were doing a minimalist routine DESU id do once every 2 days, the lifts you have, but
2x10 overhead press, all out on the last set
pulldowns 2x12
squat 1x20 all out
good for beginners, better for achieving muscular damage to stimulate growth than a 5x5 would imo.

Don't start at bar for OHP. Start at 95lbs. Anyone who can't OHP 95lbs is a female or a child. Hammer out as many reps as you can every time you OHP. Supplement with dumbbells.
Shoulders respond well to volume.
T. 185lbs OHP and not even fit
