Its a warmup. Unless you are competing in a meet, I wouldn’t over think it. I also wouldn’t start as high as 50%. I always start with foamrolling, then some shoulder prehab or mobility exercises, then a few sets with just the barbell.
There is no correct answer. For example on Military Press I warmed up at 20lb intervals and hit a personal best. The next shoulder session I warmed up at roughly 50lb intervals. I didnt perform as well with 50lb increments. Go experiment and you’ll find your answer.
