"Warm-up Sets" are LOL.

[lowkey9]

I like TA's way of thinking. When you got lots of experience you know what is necessary and what's not. When you're training natural there are so many ways to waste time in the gym.

I like to do warm-up sets for certain bodyparts(mainly lower-back and legs) and I find it helpful to do a couple of sets with 135 on a bench. Helps you to find the perfect rom and balance.

pulling 5 plates (like he says he does) is dumb as fuck without a warmup, which i know he isn't stupid enough to do, so i don't even see the point of making this thread

my sets are usually 135-225-315-405, high reps, lower, then lower, 405 for maybe a single or double, then 495-525x5-6 for deadlifts.  all that counts is that last set but w/out the warmups i couldn't touch that last set.

i didnt warm up enough on squats yesterday and injured my leg 

[Ropo]

And pointless.  I don`t think I have ever done a single one ever.

And what you are trying to prove by that statement? That you are complete idiot? You know this because you haven't done one single rep for warm up? Only thing which you can prove by that statement, is that you don't know shit about training, which suits well together with your "calorie is calorie"- theory.

Warming up Biceps=Pointless

You = clueless

Flexor exercises help with elbow (joint) health. Not "tricep extensions" like most do. You're not actually warming up the bicep but rather the elbow. Hope this helps

Yes please, link me the studies to lycopen, olive oil and other stuff now... 
I am sure there is no other way to get these benefits as form pizza.

Pizza has lots of saturated fatty acids and the gluten and wheat flour isn't healthy as well.

I am aware it is nowhere as bad as some people want you to believe, but i would not exactly call it a health food. I have made my own pizza many times, btw.

Complete utter bullshit.

Gluten is not bad at all, unless you're allergic to it. Wheat flour has plenty of nutrients.

I don't know where you guys come up with this shit.

This might be one of the most severe ( yet effortless) thrashings Adam has ever received on getting coached up on weight training and it is dished out by none other then The COACH!

Actually, gluten is a terrific source of protein....

We warm up for 15-25 min before we even touch a weight.

Dynamic warm up, I assume?

I've found a small amount of plyo help me.  If I was benching, two sets of 5 reps of a plyo push up.etc....   Is that something you use, or is it bunk?

[pillowtalk]

No, I train heavy.

Yeah, but your Fugly, so no-one gives a shit what you think.

You have one of the most simian, faces I have seen.

Do you have a lot of body-hair naturally??
Just curious

Yes, along with mobility and active stretch and activation. When I warm up shoulders I won't do anything as dynamic as a plyo push up but rather YTWL's w/external rotation, wall slides and Scap retractions. These work especially well for older people who still train heavy.

Thanks. You're about the only one on here that I would take training advise from. Dyslexic is good as well.

Junk food = hydroginated fat (more often than not).
Good luck with that when lifting heavy......

Thanks Coach.  Will do.

True, when ever you see the word "hydrogenated" it's literally means it's about one molecule away from being plastic.

Yes, Yates believed as you did and he eventually tore 15 muscles.

[tbombz]

what you just described in the first paragraph would be called a warm-up.

not really, those are working sets, they just function as a "warm up" for the heavier sets.

nah us humans really arent supposed to be eating concentrated sources of carbohydrates all the time, and especially not from grains.

Where are you eating, Dominos or the Organic / stone ground flour, pizza parlour $60 for a 12inch pizza.
I would rather have Brown rice & meat.
