What’s Your Warm-Up Routine Before Lifting?

[xyle9999]

Hey guys,

I’m curious to hear what kind of warm-up routines you all follow before hitting the weights.

Personally, I always go through the same sequence before every session:

• 12x arm circles in each direction
• 12x elbow rotations per arm
• 12x hip rotations per side
• 12x shoulder rolls in each direction
• 30 seconds plank
• 30 seconds side plank (each side)
• 30 seconds crunch-hold plank

Then, depending on the workout:

• Chest day: I do 40 push-ups
• Leg day: I do 20 bodyweight squats

How about you? Do you follow a set warm-up routine or does it depend on the day/body part? Do you include mobility, cardio, or activation work?


Let’s share and maybe learn a few new tricks from each other.
