My advice is to start off with a light/comfortable weights to make sure you get in the correct number of sets and reps (especially for break-in). This way you'll be able to gauge where you're at as far as how much weight you can lift.
And as the book mentions, most people overestimate how much weight they can lift, and poop out by the end of some of the workouts. Just start out slowly with full extension movements and you should be fine.
