35
(this was a joke you guys)
5x5 45lb squats
5x5 30lb bench press (apparently the bar isn’t a full 45lb, didn’t find out until halfway through, welp)
Replying to
5x5 65lb barbell row (this kicked my ass a bit)
and done for the day. thanks to for the suggestion to try following stronglifts, and thank the gods this house has a gym in the garage:

I found when I was first starting that the form actually came more naturally once you start adding weight - an empty bar is almost too empty and your ability to flap it around badly goes away when the inertia gets heavier

The bar is by convention always treated as 45lb although it is slightly less -- 20kg. Do you mean you were using a short bar of some kind?
