I usually started very light, just to get the blood flowing.

For me, a progression was something like 135 for 12, 205 for 10, 245 for 8, 265 for 6, 295 for 4, 315 for 2 on power days. The first two sets were pure warm up, I didn't really feel like I was working until the 3rd set. So, I'd start way below my top end weight.
