Just start with the bar, and slowly add weight and see what feels comfortable for you. As for nutrition, you need to eat about 5 or 6 smaller meals a day, and in each you should include a balance of protein, carbs, and fat. Some examples could be chicken, egg whites, oats, brown rice, sweet potatoes, fruits and vegetables, just to name a few things. Just try to balance your foods, and work out hard, ans the strength will come.

I think the main thing is good nutrition,eating a gram of protein perpound of body weight,thats muscle weight not bone and fat?.and read powerlifting usa is a very good thing to find out what to eat and train.
