How much should I be warming up with lighter weights? I feel

>>40133817
I never warm myself up and I haven't snapped anything yet.

>>40133817
yeh just rep 20kg a few times and ur good to go, after that I usually just jump to 30 and increase till 34

>>40133817
you doing 4 warmup sets before you train for hypertrophy?

>>40133895

yeah, and on strength days as well.

yeah you're going to wear yourself out like that, try like one set at about 2/3 of your working weight

1 set @ 50% - 1 set @ 75% - Main workout set (100%)

Depends on the exercise for me. I've learned I must warm up extensively for the squat or else my hips fuck up or some shit. A lot of the times you can just perform the motion with an empty bar a lot and then be fine though.

Me too I think I'm being retarded
This is how I deadlifted yesterday

1x8 40kg
1x5 60kg
1x5 80kg
3x5 100kg
Then one rep at 10kg intervals until I hit 150kg

>>40133817
I do that too. For example: I squat 80 kg as working sets right now, so my warm up would be: (one set of 5 each) 20kg, 40kg, 60kg and then my working sets. I feel I'm taking way too long to get shit done, but I'm seriously afraid of injury.

Sauce

stretch before workout to get a sweat going and you should be fine. rule is usually 5/3/2 for reps at 0.4/0.6/0.8 of your work set. doing more is pointless and will just destroy your work set
