What do your warm-up sets look like? I'm starting to get into heavier bench (current max is 255) and I'm wondering if doing too many build-up sets is hurting my chances at benching heavier. For a while it was 135 - 185 - 225 - 235 - 245, but now it kinda fucks up my 3 heavy set main workout routine. I still want to keep 225 in there as a staple but should I skip it and just go 135 - 185 - 235 (or 245, 255, etc once I start going higher)?
How many reps dummy? I do a reverse pyramid with pls. Bar-Like 20 95-5 135-4 185-3 or 2 225-2 or 1 Working weight 250

Reps don't have much to do with my question. 135 for 10-15 slow, 185 for 10, 225 for 8-10, 235 for 6-7, 245 for 4-5, 255 for 2-3, then a burnout set of 135.
