Max Out day tomorrow
Friday I'm going for my max bench. When I started this journey 4 months ago I was pressing a grand total of 160lbs. I'll be putting up 200+ if all goes well tomorrow. This is very important to me as I set this goal 4 months ago.
What intervals should I start at? eg. How much weight, how many reps before going for the max?

I'd warm up with the bar first. Then go to about 60% of your projected max and do 5 reps. Then load 75% of your projected max and do 3 reps. Now go to a weight you KNOW you can do a triple (roughly 90% of 1 rep max), and do a single rep. After that, GO FOR IT!

Thanks for your support guys.
Today I got up 215 lbs. I damn near shit myself. I know this isn't much weight for a lot you but my previous max was 185 lbs 3 weeks ago. Jersey I did almost as you said (not seeing your post).
15 x bar
10 x 115
6 x 155
3 x 185
1 x 205
1 x 215
1x 225 (just missed it)
I think I could get 225 up next time I was just a bit worn out. Also I only rested 1 minute between 215 and 225 because I felt so good putting up 215.
That I'm sure was a mistake, but hey we live and learn. 225 will go up by the end of the month then I will set a new goal.
Again thanks for everything! Without this board I would not have the motivation to do this on my own.

Congratulations on 215! It sounds like if you had omitted the 215 set, you would of had 225 no problem. Next time I would go a bit lighter on your warm up sets. Something like:
bar x 10
135 x 5
170 x 3
205 x 1
new max at 225
