Can someone suggest good warm-up progressions to my working sets, now that I've zeroed the starting set weights?

For a push or pull movement, I warm up doing several sets of unilateral pushes or pulls with a resistance band. Then I will do a set with just the bar (10 reps). Then I add about 70% of my first working set to the bar and do a set focusing on form (8 reps). Then I'll do a set of 4-6 reps at 80%. Then I typically do two sets for weight acclimation at about 90% & 95% for 2-3 reps. Sorry, those percentages are confusing me too. I'm just trying to get the point across of what I do. I'll list out some weights so you have an idea that might be more clear. This will probably be my next heavy squat workout:
2 sets of 10 BW squats A2G
135X5
185X5
225X3
245X2
275X1
Working sets: 3X5 @ 305lbs
