I've never warmed up with something over 90%, by the time you hit 90% you should definitely be warmed up and merely acclimating. Afterall 90%+ is when you're doing your working sets.

Like you said, most guys will go for the big lift during the second or even third attempt. Intentional or unintentional that first (or second) attempt is acclimating them.


TALO, if you're really confident that you can get 505. Try doing the warmup you did until you got to 405 but do a single at 405, 455, and 475. Then go for 505. If you've got a bit of doubt, personally I would shoot for that 495.

If you chip away 10-15lbs from 455 you'll end up with 4-5 sets over 90% and that may hinder your performance. If you're going to do that I'd start it around 475-485.

And take some decent rest times!
