Just wanted to say good to have you here
 
Check out PTA's journal he does DC training and you can see where you need to make changes.

For me the weight and reps you're using for warmup is a little high. I just do a couple maybe 3 sets for warmup only 2-3 reps last warmup set with around
70% of workset weight.

are you trying to gain or cut?

just curious because since your posting your weight every workout I assume your trying to slim down some. I am not sure I ever saw anyone do DC training to cut on. But if it works for you go for it
 
describe cut.. and gain what? I just want to be the motha f'er that rips off a car door when somoen threatens my son and my wife.... so basically strength.. if you have any tips would be greatly appreciated.
