When you start you pyramid what weight do you use for the first 2 sets?

Today I did 365x3, 405x3 for the 1st two sets. Last week I did 315x3, 365x3 for the 1st two sets. Basically set 1 is the 1x3 from 2 weeks ago, set 2 is the 1x3 from last week.
With these max effort sets (1x3, or some RM) I like to go through the weight I've done in the past during my sets. This way I can tell how strong I'm feeling that day (compared to the last workout) and load the bar accordingly. So for this week I did 365 (PR from 2 weeks ago) and then 405 (PR from last week) then 415 (PR for this week).
So far this plan has been working wonders
