Re: How many warm up sets

With the old school and Corholios routine, how many warm up sets should I do?
Eg Bench 5x5. Does that mean to 2 warm up sets and 3 work sets or 2 warm up sets and 5 work sets?

5x5 means two progressively heavier warm-ups and 3 all out sets.

I started 5X5 a month or so ago and have seen terrific gains from it!

wait....so doing 7 sets all together would be wrong?? I was doing 2 warmup and 5 sets of 5

It's ok now...but if you feel that it is too much later trim the 5x5 back to 3 working sets.

the 3x5 should all be working sets though.
Sorry I wasn't more clear in your specific thread as I had it listed late rin the original thread.
