no, you need more warm up sets with weight that gets closer to your work set weights. at your current level of strength, jumping from 95 to 200 lbs in the squat is a BIG jump in my opinion. same with the bench. personally i see no reason to do 2 warm up sets with the same weight either, but that's just my way of doing things. if i was gonna squat 200lbs this is what i'd do:

b/w x 10 reps

empty bar x 10

95lbs x 5

135 x 5

170 x 5

then hit the working set weights.

also, am i reading this right, it looks like you're benching sometimes 3 workouts in a row???

you need to slow down on the weight increases too. the last time you tried 160lbs on the bench you needed a spotter so what made you think you could jump back to it in a week and not need a spotter again? being in a hurry only ends up setting you back in the long run (and puts you at further risk of injury). i'd bet 99% of the people here have been guilty of doing that so dont feel bad but nip it in the bud now or you could end up spinning your wheels for months.
