I do more warm-up sets when doing 3x3 or 5x5 work sets but never 10. I suppose that if you limit warm-up set increases to 50lb at most, then you could easily end up with 10 warm-up sets when lifting 400+ lbs.

I don't know why I was thinking I should minimize warm-ups sets for a 1RM PR attempt but I will do different next time.

Since we're explaining what each other meant, I'll explain further. He said approximately 80%. That means ball park.

I wouldn't do a triple above 80% or a double above 90% personally. When prepping for a PR, I set up for my last few singles (acclimation) the same way as I would for a max attempt.

Canadians...
