You don't have to be in a rush; stick to progressions that you're going to be able to maintain for a while (e.g. adding 2.5kg each session). The earlier days are your chance to concentrate on technique. People who rush to start at near their physical limits tend to develop poor technique, which holds them back after only a short time.
