The FAQs seem to mostly aimed at specialized techniques
and advanced lifters.

A new program should emphasis "basic conditioning" for the
first six to twelve months and not worry that much about
body building, stength, supplments. Basic conditioning gets
the muscles and joints used to lifting and builds up the blood
supply and nerves. Its most important to learn the proper form
of each exercise at this stage. Incorrect form can strain joints
and cause injury with heavy weights.

That aside, choose about a half dozen different exercises for arms,
legs and torso, maybe adding a new one every week or two.
Do 3-4 sets of 10-15 repetitions. The first one go light some weight
to warm up. You should start feeling tired on the last one.
Order aqnd frequency is what works for you. Some people like to
every thrid day while others work a part of there body or rotating
days.
Some like to do all the sets together, while others alternate around
the
body.
