Why did you double 235? Also, I would space out your increments a bit on your last two sets. If your max is 250 lbs, and you want three singles > 90% of that max, then you need anything over 225 for those three sets. What counts is the max attempt, the other two sets are just to get the work in.

Also, don't be afraid to fail. If you miss the lift, keep a mental note of where you missed it, how close you came, and what you need to work on to get it up next time.. For instance, if you failed 3/4 of the way up, then I'd be blasting my triceps next ME day with some 3-4 board presses or even pin presses.
