Success

5 x
 
10 60# deadlifts
8 30# overhead squats
6 pushups
4 pullups
2 dips
 
Steam, hot shower, cold shower.
 
This is the routine for me.  Hard enough to be interesting, easy enough to complete with good form (I think - not sure about lifting heels on the squats).  I certainly stopped to catch my breath a lot (probably after every third set?) but I didn't need to lower weights or reps and I didn't pause during the sets once.  A very good feeling. 
 
One tweak for next time: I should lower weights on the deadlifts to almost nothing until I am sure about my form.  30# or less, I think. 
 
Off to the caf for some food.
