How to WARM UP before a workout! (The RIGHT WAY)

Generally, I like to do 5 minutes of dynamic stretching before I start my workout, then 3 warm up sets for my first heavy exercise. Then for all of my other exercises, I either do 1 warm up set (if the exercise uses a lot of weight or if the exercise trains a muscle I haven't trained yet) or no warm up sets at all (if the exercise doesn't use a lot of weight and it's for a muscle I've already trained) Looking to get protein powder, creatine, or any other supplements?

I usually ride my bike to the gym, and I gotta say, by the time I get to the actual gym I’ve already done a whole cardio session lol

his warmup is my working set 💀

SLDL with 415 is crazy 💀

It's nice to see someone talking about this. Warming up is something very important that is often not mentioned, I've started paying attention to it after getting constant pain in my right elbow, even though I didn't see any problem with my technique and overall training. It turned out to be that I wasn't warming up very well... Once I paid more attention to it, the pain went away! Also stretching after intense workouts is something you should care about, too

Thank you for the video. Turns out I have fatigued myself even before my first working set. For blood flow, I like to begin my workouts with 50 bodyweight squats.

You have no idea how much I needed this video. Was confused before with warm up sets, but now it is all clear. Thanks for that Max

I’ve been looking for a warm up video. Thanks Max

Max please post your push and pull day - part 2 routine 🙏

Thanks so much for this video Max! I kept on hitting plateaus and spending a really long time in the gym. It’s obvious now that I was pre fatiguing myself with excessive warmups. This really helped shorten my workouts and improve my working sets. Also, I’m in a steep calorie deficit so I don’t have to waste the little energy I have.

Idk if it's your tone of voice or what but you're the only fitness tuber I've seen that isn't pushing something like a one way belief or product. I really appreciate that and I've learned quite a bit from you so thanks and take my sub ya goober

Well this is helpful, personally I do 3 warm up sets that is as follows; first warm up set is using 50% of my working weight for 12 reps, then second warm up set using 75% of working weight for 5 reps, then final warm up set using 85% of working weight for 3 reps before doing my working sets with working weight

Great video, Max! I'd like to add that many people would benefit from passive join mobilization and stability work before working out too.

Finally, I can properly get my gainz with warm-ups! Thanks king 💪👑💯

Love this short !! Top notch information &delivery!!

Short, precise and informative. Things I like.

Much respect my man! When see your videos I always finish them learning something new. Keep it up! And from one fitness enthusiasts (personal trainer) to another, nice ass to grass, just watch out on locking your knees. This will prevent hyper extension and further injury (not that you don’t already know that). If you can control the weight then, take what I said for a grain of salt, but, Thank you for your videos keep it up!

This is why Leon Edwards is the aesthetic king

Thank you Max! I’m learning a lot from you recently. Nice to change music btw lol

What works for me on leg day is warming up with hamstrings and for the first set do super light weight and do 15-20 reps cause for legs it takes alot more than 5 reps to warm them up and get blood flow in them then go on to your working set
