What would a good progression be for a loading cycle of DFHT?

Say for Workout 3 (ME Day) you have:
1./// Flat Bench: 5 RM (Work up to a 5 rep max with pinkey's on the rings. This means doing a few doubles and singles before attempting your 5 RM)

I'm doing a 3 week loading cycle and my 5rm going in is say 225. What would my Workout 3's Flat Bench look like?

Week 1 220
Week 2 225
Week 3 230

Would I try and progress more drastically (say 10-15lbs instead of 5)?

Do I start off with my 5RM from the get go or do I reduce it a bit at the start?

How many sets should I be doing to work up to my 5RM (ie 5-6 sets: 1-2x3, 2x2, 1x1, 1x5?)

ps. I'm posting this because I'm finding that my biggest problem is planning out the progression for my routines and figuring out what my starting weight should be
