Welcome. I always reckon double bodyweight squats and deads and over bodyweight bench is a good base to start from and you've certainly got that. Rather than give detailed advice, read some of the other guys logs on here, pick a system that you think will suit you, try that, and change if it's not doing much after about eight weeks. And if you keep a log on here, you'll get some helpful comments. Also spend a couple of hours (yes, hours!) in the Articles section. Time well spent!

Other best advice I can give is find other powerlifters to train with. Where are you based? Which fed do you plan to lift in?
