New Warmup, Progression Decision

Today's Push Press made it clear that I need to warm up to heavier weights.

I think I'll just start with the bar and add 10% of the work weight (rounded to the nearest 10lbs), hitting 5s until I'd normally stop and then cutting down by 1-2 reps per set. Deads will move slower, but with some bonus jumps.
E.g. tomorrow's squat:
45x5, 65x5, 85x5, 105x5, 125x5, 145x5, 165x3, 185x1, 205x5x3
Tuesday's Bench:
45x5, 55x5, 65x5, 75x5, 85x5, 95x5, 105x4, 115x3, 125x2, 135x1, 150x5x3
Wednesday's Dead:
135x5, 145x5, 155x5, 175x5, 185x5, 205x3, 225x1, 245x5x3
Thursday's Push Press:
45x5, 55x5, 65x5, 75x4, 85x3, 95x2, 105x1, 115x5x3

On the same note, I've decided to stick with 5lb jumps on Bench and Press for the rest of this cycle, switch them both off and run at 5lbs until I stall, then switch back, drop the weights 10lbs, and start building up at 2.5.
