Maybe like Ali M said, do a full body work out at first, and then after a few weeks split it up. Dont worry about rep range for the first few weeks, just concentrate on lifting the weights correctly, ie with proper form. After the first few weeks split it up into a two week or three week split.

There are different ways of training, for chest I do 5 sets of 5 reps at the same weight, with a warm up set first. In your case I would probably do maybe three sets, first on a lightish weight and second two on a heavy weight, nice and slow concentrating on form and not so much on the weight you lift.

Dont worry about it being complicated mate, its simple enough for a beginner. Maybe read through the progress journals to get an idea of how different people train.

My main piece of advice would be to concentrate on compound exercises (ie ones that work more than one muscle group) and keep away from isolations. Eat well, sleep well.

Good luck mate.
