I've started Stronglifts/5x5 a few weeks ago. There's a long old warm up at a similar weight there.
5 x 20, 5 x 20, 5 x 40, 5 x 60, 3 x 70
then the actual set, 5 x 5 x 82.5I mostly keep to the warm up, though I don't worry about much rest between. I used to squat a decent amount (for a punter that is) and it'll be interesting to see if I can get anywhere close again. feels like a long way to go still.

I dropped the earlier weights this time (did them last time) as they really were just useful as a warm up. I've never squatted 80kg before and did that to see if I could, really. Then dropped down to 40/50/60 to make sure I got the sets in. Next time I'll push that up by probably 10kg, then the next time another 10.
