Seems stupid to me

No thanks. Shoulders are an injury prone area.

Light face pulls into tricep pull downs into bar, 95, 135, 185, 225, sometimes 245 then some working sets. Amount of reps during warm-up is determined by feel every time.

I am no big bencher though, by far the weakest of the three lifts so who knows. Maybe no warm up is the way to go.

Not stupid if you can do it with no problem it was only 315 😆. We are 100% natural also no worries tearing something up our muscles are real not juice made 😤.

The problem is people take too long to warmup most gym goers now days do too many sets why I don't know. The only time you need to really warmup is if you're over 45 50 years++ I'm 37 and don't have a problem with my joints or feel stiff it's the way you train your body day in and day out it will respond every time the same way. I been lifting since I was 16 drug free and the only time you will see me warmup up is if the weather outside is negative below zero other than that we have no issues loading 315 and go. I don't drink alcohol or smoke or use any kind of drugs BTW hope this helps if more questions I can sure try to answer here or on video the same way you see us on video is the same way we train day in and day out.

It does not take me long to warm up except deadlift. 125, 225, 315, 405, 455, 505, sometimes 555 then working sets or 505 then working sets or if im doing lots of volume i might cut it at 455 for example. Squats can be long if my knees are cold.

Some face pulls with some quick push downs and some warm up sets takes sub 15 minutes.

You might also live in some warm environment. I do not. Average winter temp is -40-50C throughout and sometimes -60C. Takes time to get your body primed when you walk outside or skidoo to the gym.

Lol legs is another one I never been a good with squats having a bad knee best I can do is 500 and that's pushing my luck with the knee with them I start with 135 225 315 405 and depending how it feels from there I'll load 455 and keep going. I live in Connecticut U.S we only get like 3 cold months or 4 depending the season. The deadlifts i pretty much do the same 135 225 315 405 and keep loading depending how strong i feel i can do 455 or 485. I just started doing more DL since last June my last job was a back breaker and couldn't do DL much now I have a new job and I'm able to hit the DL more with more weight.
