| Re: Proper Warm Up = more or less Trick question...It depends if your doing a bodybuilding routine or powerlifting...I'm gonna guess bodybuilding so I don't believe that is to much overkill. When I first stsrted learning a while back I was instructed to ride a stationary bike for 5 or 10 minutes before a workout and again at the end for a cool down but have done it with very little warm-up in my latter years, only consisting of very light weight strecthes mosty in the shoulder and back or legs according to the exercise. I never really got the gains I was after at a younger age so I'm sticking with what I've seen my best gains on...No bike ride ...minimal stretching...But I don't see what your doing to be to much...I due one maybe two warm-up sets on the first exercise of the day and then nothing after that...Cheers
wait I just realized your doing five warm-up sets and definatley along the lines of powerlifting...so you have to choose which way to train...
