Hey man I have been lifting for 3 years. In my experience, beginners (sp? I hate this word) should stick with light weight high reps, not necissarily to failure, but on certain sets probably isnt a bad idea.
And a side note about heavy lifting, especially if you have never lifted before, it can cause problems if you are lifting heavy right off the bat. Injury is a major concern because tendons and ligaments need conditioning before you can train intensely. Also you risk BAD form which can hinder your progress immensely.
Cya.
