I'm not seeing the need to warm up before every exercise. I'd recommend doing a dynamic mobility warm-up then a few warmup sets before the first main lift (which should always be a compound lift). Then, 2-4 sets of however many reps you want to do. So, maybe 3 x 12, or 3 x 8, 4 x 6, etc. I'd definitely do more than one working set for each exercise too.
