I was taught that one should do higher repetition movements with lighter weights in order to warm up . And then one of the things that did make a big positive difference for me in terms of strength and hypertrophy training was to do um a moderate repetition , warm up with a fairly lightweight , but then to actually keep the number of warm up repetitions fairly low and work progressively toward the first so called work set . When you say 3 to 5 , that's 3 to 5 work sets , correct ?
Especially if you're a person like you who may be a bit more inclined to fatigue uh quickly uh relative to Trevor who's just has no response to fatigue whatsoever . Is it useful to do more warm up at the beginning of a workout ? Say before the first exercise and then once one has achieved both local and systemic warm up in air quotes , um then perhaps on the second or third exercise , fourth exercise , et cetera , one or maybe even zero warm ups .

What what that means is you need to preserve intensity for the first three you need to preserve volume in the second one at most . So if your warm up is so ex extensive in the hypertrophy training that it compromises your training volume because of fatigue . Even if it compromises the last set of the last exercise , then you're actually probably walking yourself backwards by doing that extensive .
A ton of , um , neuromuscular stuff , like all kinds of stuff . And it just , the more he warms up an absurd amount of warm up , the better he gets and the better he gets in power production and the better he gets in speed and velocity . So his warm up prior to games is it's totally absurd .
