I used to jump straight into my working sets without preparing my body and honestly that wasn’t the smartest move 😭 Now I start with lighter weights and gradually work my way up before lifting heavier. It helps me get comfortable with the movement and feel more confident during my actual sets. Do you guys do warmup sets before every exercise?

Warmup sets are a must especially before heavy compound lifts

Starting light helps me focus on my form before adding more weight

Bro jumping straight into heavy squats is a different kind of confidence 💀

Warmup sets make such a difference when your body feels stiff

do them mostly for bench press and squats but should probably do them for everything

Better to spend a few extra minutes warming up than rush into lifting heavy fr 💪
