Just a quick question - in Strong Lifts 5x5, where are the warm-up sets for each exercise? Surely you don't just load up a bar with what you can manage for 5 reps and go straight in? Are there 50%, 75% warm up sets before the big 5 or what?

Awesome - plug in your top weight and it gives you warm up reps.0 -
On the website and in his videos Mehdi does tell you to warm-up with the and lighter weights before doing your sets

As ClassickQC said, if you actually read the program, warm up sets are a big part of the work out.0
