I think I'm going to steal this advice (I never figured out how to find out working set weight). Hope you don't mind

Go for it, Kindred, this is what we're here for, giving and taking advice.

It leads to a starting weight which is a bit below what you could handle, but that's okay. It's better to start a bit low and have steady progress, than start too high and stall early, get discouraged and quit.

I should just add that the above assumes you are doing the entire workout in 45-60 minutes. If you're taking longer, you'd want to do more warmup sets with the overhead and deadlift. If it's all at a quick pace all those squats act as a warmup for the rest. A quick pace is not ideal for building strength, but is ideal for general fitness and burning energy. It's all about your goals...

I am all about the ordinary sedentary clumsy unfit beginners, mate. 150kg squat is not a beginner. I'm the guy who takes people from not squatting at all to squatting (say) 120kg. You need someone like Markos.
 
if only!!! That would make my trip for sure. But I'm heading over there with the olds and the wife for a family weekend. Don't think they would be too happy if I disappeared for a day Haha.
