Why Warmup Sets Matter

Injury Prevention

Warming up increases blood flow to muscles, raises body temperature, and prepares tendons and ligaments for heavy loads. This significantly reduces injury risk.

Neural Activation

Progressive warmup sets help activate your nervous system and practice the movement pattern before attempting heavy weights.

Progressive Overload

Start with the empty bar and gradually increase weight. This allows your body to adapt to heavier loads without fatigue from excessive reps.
