Title: How Many Warm Up Sets Do You Do Before A Working Set?
Post by: Fallsview on November 16, 2016, 07:17:54 AM
I never did warm up sets but now I think they might be smart for avoiding injury. Shoulders, chest...I think would be a must since shoulders are so prone to injury. Legs not so much.

What say you?

Easy, fatty. BP is important for a man of your intemperate size.

Nice. I kinda agree. Thanks Powerlift66. Now, butt out. This thread is about fat Alice's constant need for attention-whoring, and me/committee reminding him he has always been horrible. Guy brings nothing to the table :)

Just one light warm up set to get the blood flowing and prepare my muscles and joints.  Everything after that is intended to stimulate growth.

If you've trained a long time id be very suprised if you didn't have to ease your self in, there's not a body part trained with a weight where i don't do several warm ups, even my main sets are dine without much rest between sets to keep the weight down and the blood going

Exactly.

I knew a guy who claimed to always lift naked, and that if you couldn't get up for a workout, you were either sick or a closet case. The guy's name was Claude. Claude would say things like, "Warm-ups, like foreplay, are for the inadequately endowed; and, as you can probably tell, I am not inadequate. Quite to the contrary."
      His main idea was that training arousal ought to be instant. Pep talks and pre-workout drinks are for those who need assistance sustaining interest in order to perform, i.e., for sufferers of workout disfunction (WD). "The weights are there," Claude would say, "they're resisting, sure, but that's the fun: start pumping!" He invited me to train with him at his home, you know, to demonstrate his ideas; I politely declined by saying that I had to return some video tapes to Blockbuster. This was last year.

The whole idea of doing "warm ups" is to literally raise your muscles' temperature. Never exercise a cold muscle. Do light work until the muscle warms up, before you get it to do any real exertion.

No, but oddly enough, Claude did say that after a rigorous bout of training au naturel, I could stomp and kick around his model train set like a giant, naked monster.

Non, merci.

depends which exercise ? first or following exercises ?, rep-range for the first working set ?

sometimes the time between starting Training and first working set is as Long as the time from the first working set to the last of that muscle-group.

i remember i did 12 sets of "warming up" in a icarian Squat machine, starting with two 55`s, last warm-up set i īdid 455 kg, and on the 1. Working set 505 kg for 5 reps....for the xtra load i placed a empty olympic bar on the top of the machine, and load that bar for the last 3 warm-up sets. For smaller muscles Groups like biceps/shoulders i do 3-5 warm-up sets, before the "real Training".
