soooooooo....what's the question, exactly?

use those weights (assuming they aren't too heavy for you to complete the work) and each workout add 5 more pounds to the bar. if you can complete the work then the next workout add 5 more. if not, use the same weight. rinse, repeat.

you can use dumbbells but since it would seem that you have access to a barbell for the squats and bench i'm not sure why you would. i mean, i know why i prefer DBs but i'm not doing stronglifts. Or are you indicating that you are actually going to do this workout with machines instead of free weights but you don't have a machine to simulate bent rows?

Yes, do a warm-up for each new major body part worked.
For example, need a warm-up for squats working primarily the quads.
Need a warm-up for bench, working primarily the chest.
Need a warm-up for rows, working primarily the back.
Yes, you can use dumbbells for rows if you want.
