As a beginner one of the most important things to concentrate on in your workouts is your form and technique and not to concentrate to much on how much weight is on the bar. You should keep the weight at a level that is comfortable for you for the first 8-10 weeks, until your muscles get used to lifting.

This workout is ideal for those who are new to the gym and it can be done on the days suit you best. However the ideal routine set up would be:

Day 1: Monday - Chest/Triceps

Day 2: Wednesday - Back/Biceps

Day 3: Friday - Legs/Shoulders

This set up would give you a day to recover in between each workout.
