ok I do 225 for sets of 5x5
warmup set 1 135 x 12
warmup set 2 185 x 8
then I start my normal 5x5 sets
also you might try to change your reps ( i.e. do sets of 10 reps for the next 6-8 weeks) so your body dosent get usto just 5 reps.

I need a good Chest Warmup
I need some help from you guys. I've been flat bench pressing (bb) the same weight 2 weeks in a row, on this coming 3rd week, I want that elusive 5th rep (the previous 2 weeks, i could only do 4 at the given weight). I know. I know. I promise, I'll switch it up soon and get some decline, dumbells, etc in there. but, i was really hoping to get that 5th rep this last week but failed. Believe it or not, I've lost sleep over this. Anyway, here's my question... how should i warmup without getting too tired but be ready for the all-out effort? I plan to do the press as my first exercise, and, I'll have a spotter but i want the 5th to be all me. I know there's an art to proper warmup, so, if you have some good advice, I'd like to hear it.
thanks

You guys are going to lose. You might as well just cheer for me, because Boston isn’t winning in Boston for the season opener. I’m sorry. " - Gilbert Arenas
