I plan to do a basic Overhead Press/Deadlift/Squat routine 3x week. I will prob. alternate DL and Squat days once I work up to lifting heavier weights.

I'd like to see your program.

I haven't plotted it out , but I want to keep it very simple:

Month 1: 6 day/wk daily stretching and broomhandle reps.
Month 2: 3x10 for each of the 3 lifts. I will start with 135 pounds for the DL and Squat and 85 pounds for the OHP and add 5 pounds/wk for each lift until I can't progress any more, then I'll figure out where to go from there.

Your overhead press will stall long before squats/deadlifts, something to keep in mind. I'm not sure how you'll respond to training OHP three times a week but please keep a log so I can learn from it.

I'm lucky to have been given reasonably strong and healthy shoulders. I think going heavy three times a week with overhead press is nutso. Consider going heavy once or at most twice a week. And working other weights and other exercises the other days.
