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 walk 20 minutes to the gym very light warm up then once I’m at the gym I stretch and warm up with lighter weights then move on to my actual workout which is 10 sets of standing near the ac and drinking water

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

Short, precise and informative. Things I like.

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

The leg machines at his gym are absolutely bussin'.

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

Max is the goat!!!

you are simply amazing what a special guy

Just the advice I was looking for , thank you 👍

super helpful info! thank you!!

You're so close to 1 mil🎉

This is really helpful I’m frustrating why I can do so few and felt fatigued… it’s because I haven’t properly warmed up myself

Ive started integrating the resistance band warmups Squat University has featured on his channel. Mostly shoulder stuff to protect my rotator cuff. Internal and external rotation from different angles mostly. Also some knee rotations and resistance. Ive had much less (read zero!) of those buzzing twinging sensations in my shoulders from a heavy set since doing these.

Damn bro your physique is really impressive

great information as always fr

Bro everytime u upload and ur video comes up first i get excited I love learning all this gym stuff im some what new (been going home gym for 7 months) I haven’t really made a progress I do a lot of martial arts and stuff what do I do (Im 15, male)

Generally sound advice, although I'd say that a good warmup, when you become more advanced must include: Mobilisation, Activation, and Stabilisation. As we get more advanced we may pick up on particular weak points or mobility restrictions or unstable joints. So suppose we are squatting, and there's a consistent hip issue; we may want to pre empt it with say bodyweight seated good mornings, cossack squats, side plank clamshells etc. It sounds a bit tedious but as we know our bodies better, we don't just do every mobility/activation/stability exercise but those specific to our issues.

Love from India❤❤

Thank you max!

Very helpful.

Oh my god i needed this thank you

Thx bro, I was just about to go hit legs, I don’t usually warm up

Bro I was confused about it so much and you made a video thanks max😌 also i have been going to the gym for 6 months and i have some fat but also muscle so should I bulk or cut first?

Hi max, can u tell me the things you did when you were your old self? I’m on the stage before you bulked, the past video. Idk what to do but seems like u know? Mind showing me how?

Good video 👍

glad I came across this video. On bench press I do 3 warm up sets before I get to my working sets and I usually do 6-8 reps each set. Definitely a mistake

I walk a mile and a half to the gym which at first sucked but now it's just a nice warmup

For those saying they dont have 10 mins to dedicate to their warm up I would recommend getting off youtube shorts if you really are that busy lol. Warming up properly greatly reduces your risk of injury, and also potentiates the load which will help with your performance and strength. Further, for those of us who truly love working out and love the gym it is a part of your workout that you can take slow and enjoy whilst improving your technique with no risk of impeding your recovery. Enjoy your workouts and enjoy your time in the gym, why rush your hobby.

Thanks

Breathe out slowly and controlled during the "push", and take a deep breath on the negative. For example, during a bench press, take a deep breath as the bar lowers to your chest, and then as you push out you want to breathe out. Idk any proper scientific method or whatnot but this is what I do

I normally do 3 sets of heavy weight per exercise, and I train each muscle group 2x a week. Is this too much volume and what do you recommend I change? Thanks!
