How to properly warmup for your weight training workout. It's a very simple topic, but one that has garnered much needless complexity and confusion over the years. However, it is important to get this part of your workout right every single time because a proper warmup protocol really makes or break the target exercises for that day. In the long run this is going to have a major impact on your strength and hypertrophy gains. If you get this part consistently right then you will set yourself up for success and progress time and time again, but if you get it wrong then you will be missing out on a lot of potential gains, point blank.

A proper bar warmup will accomplish 3 major things:
1. It will maximize nervous system activation
2. It will optimally prime the specific motor pattern that you are working
3. It will minimize fatigue accumulation along the way

The good news is that the process required to achieve all 3 of these things is relatively universal and the guidelines presented in this video can be followed to prepare for optimal performance on ANY barbell exercise.
