Agile 8 plus some plantar fascia myofascial work and knee to wall drills. Followed by glute activation drills.
Shoulder warm-ups are done on upper body days that include, dislocations, rotator cuff warm ups with bands and lots of bodyweight push ups.

My warm ups now that I’m older are similar to this. Heavy multi-joint exercises, I seldom go over 3 reps during warm up sets. I don’t usually think in percentages in the gym, I usually just think in 45#plates. So it is usually just the bar, 135, 225, 315, etc until I get to my working sets.

That’s all beautiful, but what do you do after those things if you’re attempting a near maximal deadlift as your opening work set?

Well, at the moment Im banned from doing deadlifts. But if I was to attempt such feat it would probably look like this…
40kg x 8
60kg x 5
80kg x 5
100kg x 3
120kg x 2
140kg x 2
150kg x 2
165kg x 1 (max deadlift)
Too many sets? Maybe. I suppose it depends on how I feel on the day, and how heavy the weight feels. Anyway, warming up is important kiddies.

Sounds pretty close to my original post after all. Thanks for the reply,

AOW, that’s been requested tirelessly here before, to no avail.
At least he reduced it down to one tweet from 2.

I’ve always understood it as “quite fucking true”.
But I’ve been wrong more than once.

As Jack Lalanne once said…Do lions stretch before chasing down a gazelle? Nope.
He knew more than any of you.
And that is why I don’t waste my time w/ that p*y-a** bull-s

Ok. Jack was a marvel of modern fitness… but hardly the ideal for a bodybuilder. We listen the most to the hyooojest. Jack does not qualify.
