Keep the reps low on your warm up sets. Maybe 5 reps for the lightest sets. Then triples for the middle sets. And just singles for the last couple sets before your max.
Weight wise, for bench press I jump about 20-25lbs per set, 35 for squats and 40-50 for deadlift.
Eg. testing a bench max might go something like:
135 x 5
155 x 5
185 x 3
205 x 3
225 x 3
250 x 1
275 x 1
295 x 1
