No. Warm-up sets should prepare you for your working sets, not compete with them. As weight increases, reps generally decrease so you arrive at your working load ready, not fatigued.
No. Warm-up sets are preparatory. Working sets are the primary training stimulus you are programming toward.
Your final warm-up should prepare you for the working load without becoming another working set. A single rep slightly below working weight is often enough for heavier loads.
Early warm-up sets can use short rests — often 30 to 60 seconds. As load approaches your working weight, a slightly longer rest of around 60 to 90 seconds is usually enough. You do not need full working-set rest between every warm-up.
For 80 kg with a 20 kg bar, a sensible ramp is 20 kg × 10, then 50 kg × 5, 65 kg × 3 and 75 kg × 1 before your 80 kg working sets. Use the plate calculator links to load each weight.
