How important is warming up? Warming up, as in doing cardio before lifting.
As important as doing the dishes before you start your car
Very, and I have studies to prove it.
warming up isn't cardio
2/10 made me reply
Warming up does not mean doing cardío

check em
>>35053333
I just spin my arms in circles and rotate my shoulders both ways a few times before I start lifting
>>35053359
I imagine you running around and making propeller noises while you do this
>>35053359
Why is this so funny to me?
Anyway, just do warm up sets and you're fine.
dynamic stretching
The fact that their parents post videos of them shows how in denial they are, like a self-defense mechanism in full force.

There's this guy in my gym who does this.

>>35053333
I'm not sure
I've always stretched then played basketball before I lifted
If you don't stretch you increase your chances of pulling/tearing something tremendously
But just lifting..?
Idk

>Firstly, static stretching (any stretching done in place, holding for X number of seconds) should never be done before exercise. It can cause muscles to tighten rather than relax, putting the body at a greater risk of injury and limiting the muscle's capacity to perform. Instead, perform active movements simulating the exercise you are about to perform (see here for a sample warm-up protocol). Before a weightlifting session, perform the lifts you are about to do with little or no weight. Before a run, perform a light jog. Before playing sports, do some quick plyometrics or active warmups.

How to Warm Up for Lifting

Listen, I am grossly unqualified to tell you how to warm up if you are:
grievously injured (note: if you injured yourself lifting weights, you are dumb)
about to hurdle, kickbox, pitch in the World Series or do any manner of things that ARE NOT LIFTING WEIGHTS for general strength/raw powerlifting
Real Old. 30 is not old. 35 is not old. You should not be “slowing down” at 35 unless you are getting ready to retire after 15+ years of pro sports/the infantry. 40 is not old. How old is Real Old? I’ll let you know when I get there. But feel free to ignore my advice if you have a. mostly gray hair b. a beard like Santa c. grandkids.
Otherwise, here’s how to warm up in three easy steps (really two):

> warming up
> as in cardio
> OP mentions absolutely nothing about static stretching and anyone with an elementary school level of reading comprehension could tell he was asking about warming up with exercises
Go read "le" Captain Underpants. It's probably at about the reading level that won't strain your poor underdeveloped brain too much.

1. Wear Warm Clothes. Warmer than the conditions would normally require. The least clothing you should wear to the gym is T-shirt and shorts. And that is if your gym is Roasting hot. I workout in a sweat shirt, t-shirt, baggy shorts (I hate squatting in long pants, but if I absolutely must, i.e it’s 40 degrees in the gym, I’ ll wear wind pants over top at least for my warmups), long soccer-type socks (for deadlifting) and a beanie/ball cap. Of course you may remove layers as you warm up.
If you are male and you work out in a tanktop, you are no doubt a vain, image-obsessed, muscle-pumper who likes ogling themseves in the mirror, and/or who likes to flex to “impress” other men & women in the gym. Please stay away from the weights and go directly to the tanning booths where there are better mirrors, and maybe an orgy.
If you are female and you work out in a) sports bra b) belly shirt c) booty pants – you are a whore who likes to show off her goods in public. Again, stay away from the weights in case chlamydia becomes airborne-transmittable. Go lie on the mats and do some leg spreading stretching IOT better accomplish your real purpose in attending a gym.
2. Lift Weights. Start with the bar. Do 10 reps. Do less if you get bored. Do more if you are sore or old. I like to get a good stretch with the bar on this first set only. Note: Don’t go crazy. Like pause deep in the hole on a couple of squats. Or do a couple bench presses to your neck.
Then add weight like this (for a single with 315): 45 (bar) x10, 95×6, 135×4, 185×3, 225×2, 275×1, 295×1.

3. Do not do any of these things before you lift heavy weights: foam rolling, stretchng, lunges, cardio, running, jogging, stretching, band-pulling, anything with a stability ball, anything with a kettlebell, waving your arms around, hopping, stretching, riding the exercise bike, stretching, or talking to other people (asking about when you can work in, or nodding hello are acceptable)
These things waste your time, tire you out, have no purpose, cost money and/or make you look foolish.

Could someone post the youtube channel for these things

Why would anybody keep that thing alive? I can get functioning rewards like down syndrome that can still lead a somewhat productive life, but that thing is a mockery of the human form. It should have been aborted the second they knew about it.
