start light and work yourself up....for example on bench....you may want to start with 25s...for 95lb...if you can do that for 10 easy reps...move up another 10-20 lb...and keep going...it's a trial and error procedure....just make sure to do it with a spotter...you want to get to a point where you're failing to finish a set at given reps with a weight....but if in doubt go lighter rather then heavier....
