Warming up before training
Get your body ready for the first exercise without arriving tired to your real sets.
What the evidence says
- Do 2-3 easy minutes to raise your temperature if you start out cold.
- Move the joints you're going to use in the session.
- Do warm-up sets, adding load little by little before your first heavy exercise.
- Warm-up sets don't count as working sets.
How to apply it today
Before a set at 60 kg: try a very light weight x 10, 50% x 6, 70% x 3, and then start your real sets.
