Once we find our working weight do we still need to warm our way up to that weight? Or will we just be doing the 2x5 1x5+?

It’s up to you whatever you want to do for the warmup, but honestly it’s some hidden volume in the program depending on how you do it. I think a 3 set warmup is plenty however I see at the gym regularly someone whose working weight is 315 on bench for example do bar, 95, 135, 185, 225, 275 before hitting his working sets.

So let's say you squat 200 normally

You would start warm up with the bar

45*5
Add 25s- 95*5
135*5
185*2

Working sets
200*5, 200*5, 200* as many reps as possible

There is not set in stone warm up. Us older guys have to take our time getting to heavier weight. Just do simple jumps until you feel completely ready.
