Good advice from SWM. Tape measures are good for girth and that's about it.

Also, you may want to try to find a wooden ruler. Doesn't cut in your skin as much as plastic.

I think if you haven't PE'd for 5 years you should just start of as a newbie as opposed to an advanced newbie. I would not move up quickly.
It's very unlikely your tissues are conditioned in the least. If you start off too heavy or move too fast you will just cost yourself gains in the long run.
