I like to warm up with a weight I can do confidently and relatively easily, and really go slow on the ~8 reps I do with it, and really try to activate all my chest muscles by squeezing together hard. I find doing that reminds me how to do the exercise properly, then I stretch, and then I go heavy.
I've made the mistake in the past of tiring myself out with weights that bore me, for the longest time when I started out I didn't think I could bench a plate, then one day I just started with a plate and to my surprise I could do it relatively easily.
