Do you do warmup sets?

Exactly Flex- My warm up are some cardio to get blood moving to muscles and mental preparation. Once you get the blood going the muscles don't really require much warm up.

I do warm up sets with some exercises but it depends on how much weight I am going to lift.

I do 10 min of cardio b4 I even look at a weight, followed by a thorough full body stretches, this takes about 10 mins. Then I do 1 set of about 20 with v.v.v. light weights to get the blood pumping, followed by 2 sets of 12, 50% and 80% on the first exercise usually either squats, bench or lat pull down. then onto work sets. 2 light sets before bis and tris and delts. I always spend a good twenty mins cooling down after a session, 10 mins cardio and 10 stretching.

Works for me!!! Remember muscles are like plasticine if you don't warm it up, it SNAPS!!!! OOUUUUUCHHHHHHHHHHHH
