Thanks for the suggestion Armesh, but I would prefer starting a popular program that is proven to have worked for many people, such as Starting Strength.

From all of your post, I understand, so I shall focus more on technique and increase weights slowly.

You can run SS using my suggested progression system, it's totally fantastic. However you'll quickly notice lack/or don't have any development in areas such as arms, mid back, traps, upper chest(for some people), and few more.

I have plotted SS in my software here:

As you see in the graph and stats below the graph, it only has 48 work/"hard" sets which are extremely little. Such a program is only good to be run in your first month of training to get in good practice for the Big 3.
