I am a beginner too using the SL 5x5 app. For warmup it tells me to do two sets of 5 with the bar then one set with about half the weights. Then I do my regular 5x5.

im on SS week 5
i warm up on rower for 10 mins or if thats not available elliptical fot same 10 mins
then proceed to my lifts using the empty bar for at least 2 sets of 5.
there is a starting strength app that i use on my phone it walks you through your warmup sets i find it helpful.

do rowing after if you want, don't need cardio to warm up that is the original meme bro. Will just tire you out a bit for the lifts and negatively affect strength gains.
I do the rowing machine for 5 mins, which is 1200 mts. Warms up my entire body.
just go in 10 lbs increments if it's light enough. try to stay under 4 warmup sets though. take bigger jumps in the lower range and smaller jumop the closer you get to working weight.
also i'm big on static stretching but that's not for everyone.

If you warm up it's dangerous. What makes more sense? Doing a maximal attempt from the get go which develops strength, elite tendon health, and reinforces technique or doing a bunch of warm ups that tire you out before you get to your hewvy sets anyway? Did Jesus warm up when he was carrying the cross? No, he had elite tendon strength from lifting heavy year round and tnatnever warming up. Thanks.

>implying a few empty bar sets will do shit when you're lifting over 100kg
You should do something like
2x5 Very Light
1x5 Light
1x3 Medium
1x2 Slightly Heavy

>warming up in the first place

listen, buddy. enjoy your scoliosis from warming up because you get everything you deserve. Warming up is the dumbest meme outside of quarter Repping. Does a gorilla warm up to eat food?

This is proper technique though. Full ROM is down to perpendicular, which for me is about my eyes. Anything more is risky to damage my rotator cuff.
This is what I do. Percentages are based on working sets weight, so, yeah, if are doing 5 x 5 w/ 300 pounds, your last warmup single will be 330 pounds.
50% x 8
60% x 6
70% x 5
80% x 3
90% x 2
110% x 1

Im basically a carbon copy of the guy on the left, what did he do to fix himself up like that? i am planning on starting 5x5, hiring a personal trainer one time to make sure my form is good, and changing my lifestyle and eating habits...Does anyone know what that guy did?
>>36589881
I don't know if this sounds ridiculous, but I just go bar, then keep adding 25s until my working weight.
Five reps bar
Three reps lmao1pl8
One rep of anything else.
