This looks like a routine I have done in the past where I progress in weight on the 3 major lifts. I posted the warm up and schedule below if you want to follow it. If not I see nothing wrong with what you are wanting to do. Like all routines see if it works for you if not change. Good Luck.
WARM UP INSTRUCTIONS FOR SQUATS, BENCH PRESS, AND DEAD LIFTS
Warm up at least 5-10 minutes doing light cardio
(First warm-up) 1x10 at about 45% of working sets
(Second warm-up) 1x5 at about 65% of working sets
(Third warm-up) 1x3 at about 85% of working sets
(Fourth warm-up) 1x1 at about 90% of working sets
PROGRESSION INSTRUCTIONS
* Week 1 Do 10 reps for each working set of the core lifts (squats, bench presses and dead lifts) and 10 reps per set for assistance movements (as shown at left).
* Weeks 2-3 Increase the weights you're using and do eight reps per working set for the core lifts. Continue to perform 10 reps per set for the assistance exercises.
* Weeks 4-5 Increase the weights and do five reps for each working set of the core lifts. Drop your reps per set to eight for the assistance moves.
* Weeks 6-7 Increase the weight each week and do three repetitions for each working set of the core lifts. Assistance exercises remain at eight reps per set.
* Week 8 Increase the weight for squats, bench presses and dead lifts to the maximum that you believe you can lift for one rep.
