Only thing nobodys mentioned here is avoiding injury.
I think it is ok to start out with higher reps but not more that 12.
You will be training your form and getting everything used to lifting.
After a month add weight but keep awesom form.
Put it this way if you get sloppy and increase weight really fast with no base then poof you are injured and no more training.
So focus on form as well and add the weight slowly as you can handle it .
Later on youll be able to load it on and still be injury free
