Warmup Sets (quick)

[Legion Kreinak]

Should I perform warmup sets for all exercises (curls, deads, benches, squats, chins etc.) or just only for big ones?

I normaly do, that way the main sets feel much lighter. You don't need a whole lotta reps just enough to signal the brain and CNS about the weight.

I normally do 10 reps with a very light weight - ie just bar, then add 25% of my work set weight and do 8 and then add 50% and do 6 reps and then 75% with 2-3 reps and then start

That's alot of warmup sets. Heh, cool. Not hard to do, I guess I will. It's supposed to be better for ya' anyway, yes yes?

well when you get to heavier weights it helps prevent injuries, plus like I said it improves your strength and makes the main workset feel lighter
