    Starting Stronglifts 5x5. Help

    So I'm starting stronglifts 5x5 and I had a question for anyone who has done it before but it wasn't the first program they used. For starting weights did you start with the bar on all lifts? I am not exactly strong by most tbb but my form is pretty good and I think I could definitely handle starting a little heavier than the bar on all the lifts. Would this hurt the linear progression? I was going to start with weights that I can roughly rep out 20-25 times at least. For example squat I would start with 205, bench 135, overhead press 90, and deadlift 225. I am simply asking because starting with 45 lbs. for each lift seems excessively light. Any feedback is appreciated.
    Edit- Also gonna row 135
