Hey guys , what is your guys warm up routines before working out ? Looking for something to prime myself before i lift, what do you guys do for upper body days / lower body. Cheers

I am usually exhausted from getting out the car, short slow sprint to the gym in 10 seconds and change my clothes.

Always good to go and out of breath before starting my first movement in the gym.

I always do some variant of light core work before I lift, and I throw some light sets of what ever I’m doing before my working sets.

There are a plethora of static stretches you can find to help warm you up too.

Regardless of what day it is I do everything.

Lower back, hips, lats, shoulders, transverse dynamics and maybe a brisk walk for a few minutes.

simple 6 / agile 8, kind of a variation

I basically just do variations of the movement I'm about to do with little to no weight.

Then with dl for example I'll do 135 for 5-8 225x3 315x2 405 x 1-2 475 x 1 505 x1 then into working sets.

If high volume like sets of 8 I'll do the same with a few more reps on the lower end because Ill likley be between 60 - 70%.

It's all feel for me. If I'm more sluggish the more I'll workout.

I also do kettlebell thrusts or whatever they are. Gets the hips firing

I do a very similar deadlift scheme starting with just the bar and stretching with it.
