for squats and deads i like to get the muscles really warm, i feel it helps my lifts. usually 30 reps with the bar 3 sets of 10 at 135, 225 x5 for 2 sets, none of this is taxing but i feel like it gets the blood where it needs to be if you know what i mean. i do get a verry slight pump.
this is a smart way to go about warming up - a warm muscle is a safe muscle - if i'm doing legs i like to do some light cardio for 10-15 min
if you go into your lifts cold youre asking for an injury...
