--- 1.Recovery time between sets, 2. Warm-ups 3.When to increase weight ---

1. I wonder if there is any negative consequences to increasing the time between my sets, especially when i squat. I am training for strenght, 5 reps, 5 sets. I currently have two minute pauses between sets. I find myself to perform better at my squats when i take 3 or 4 minutes pauses instead of 2. I'm afraid to take pauses too long. I know that pros have 10 minutes pauses, but i've only started lifting for a few weeks.

2. I currently do 3 sets of progressive weight for my warm-ups. What is the time i should put between these small sets? I currently do 30 seconds, so it pumps my heart rate.

3. Today i barely managed to do all my reps correctly on the squats. I'm thinking on increasing my weights, like every sessions, but i noticed that i have difficulty and that sometime i compromised form just a little.
Should i repeat the next week with the same weight until it feels easy or atleast mastered?

I'm sorry if these questions aren't hard enough for you.

1. Never compromise form/performance to fit into these "expert guidelines". If you need 3-4min cause you're going heavy and it leads to a better lift from you, then so be it.

2. Sounds good.

3. Never compromise form/performance for lifting more weight, either. If you can't get more weight in the correct form, just do more sets. It's the alternative to, "Add weight to the bar every week". Repeat next week, and if it's not hard enough, do another set or two.
