“there is actually a study that was recently conducted by Dr Brad shonfeld the world's expert on hypertrophy and his laboratory yep and they have Illustrated something that most lifters of a certain degree of intelligence level and longtime participation uh have realized and it's that there are two different kinds of warm-up the general warm-up which is when you go in and you do the elliptical for 15 minutes maybe you foam roll maybe do some Dynamic stretching that's all fine and good and then there's the specific warm-up which is whatever lift you have first in your program you do it for about a set of 12 very lightweights a set of 12 with maybe your 30 rep Maxs then you do a set of eight after a few minutes of rest with maybe your 20 rep max then you do a set of 4ish two to four reps with something like your 10 rep max then you rest a little bit and then you're ready to do whatever load”
Main Takeaways:
- Dr. Brad Schoenfeld conducted a study on the effectiveness of different warm-up methods.
- Two main types of warm-ups are general (e.g., elliptical, foam rolling) and specific (progressive lifting warm-ups).
- Specific warm-ups involve gradually increasing the weight across several sets to prepare for the main exercise load.

Main Takeaways:
- Warm-up sets are crucial for preparing muscles and ensuring proper technique before heavy lifting.

Main Takeaways:
- General warm-ups like using an elliptical may not significantly enhance performance compared to specific warm-ups.

“for strength basic strength building is like sets of three to six repetitions you do a whole lot fewer than six lets do use you do singles you can get stronger doing singles but you could have gotten stronger because you would have gotten more volume doing still very heavy weight if you did like sets of four it's just not an efficient use of your time still works not as efficient can you get stronger doing sets of eight yes but you get a lot of hypertrophy work from eight but if you do a your eight rep max it's just not heavy enough like sets of three to six would be for you to get as much strength out of it as possible”
