I am on week 1, still light weights. I am on day 3, second A. Squats, Bench Press, Barbell Rows.
My question is about warm ups. I understand it's good to start a bit lighter to work up to your max weight, but after 3 warm up, squats, 3 warm ups, bench presses, do I really need to warm up for Barbell Rows? My body should be warmed up b y now shouldn't it?

I wouldn't worry too much about warmups -- yet. You should still be using very low weight so there's nothing much that's lower than your working weight.
As I got up into higher numbers, I increased the amount of warmups I did. I do warmup for the row, even though yeah, I feel pretty warm by then. One thing that warmups are about is reminding your muscles about proper form before the weights get hard.0 -

if you watch the mehdi videos he seems to go straight to work weight for the rows and deads.. personally that's what I do currently, not sure if I'd have the energy to do a lot more!0

I use this too! It's really helped me a lot with correct warmup weights. I was always doing too much on my warmup sets and getting tired right away0
