And then a few sets of Half the Weight you intend to do, so if you are starting of with Bench Press, and you work with 100kg for 8 reps, you would load up about 40-50 and do 15 - 20 reps.

Don't forget your Warm Down Cardio and Stretches, this is ideal.
That last bit of advice

First part

Ten minutes of stretching a particular muscle group would mean you are doing static stretching yes?? this is a bad idea that alot of people do, it actually weakens your muscles & decreases your power output, do your static stretching when you cool down.

the best warmup before your working sets is 2-3 minutes of dynamic stretching then a warm up set at less weight like you have been doing...D
