That seems like a drastic weight jump..
If I'm benching by myself I usually just do this:
I start out at 135, knock out 10 (slow with my feet up).. Then go to 185, again knock out 10.. 205, knock out 5-10
See how that feels and either move up to 225 (usually 3-5 reps).. Or repeat whatever I just did and go back down.. I'll do everything twice, go up then down
When I'm back at 135, I usually do 15-20 reps
