Summary
I'm often asked about warmup sets.
Are they necessary? How many should you do? Do you need to do them before every exercise? How heavy should you go? How many reps? Should you be stretching? How long should your warmup last?
All great questions.
The answers aren't always straightforward and simple.
In this Q&A episode, I'll walk you through my warmup on a typical push day and give you the information you need to get the most out of your warmup sets.
I'll also dive into a few more of your questions such as:
- How to know if your metabolism is slow and what to do to fix it? [5:36]
- What's my approach to programming full-body workouts? [10:43]
- Is there an effective, joint-friendly alternative to chin-ups? [14:43]
- What are the keys to selecting the right exercises? [20:08]
- How to get the most out of your warmup sets? [22:30]

| 0:22.2 | goat, if you will. And here's the thing, guys, about that. If you don't believe you are |
| 0:26.9 | the best, no one will. You've always got to be your best Don King, your own Don King. You |
| 0:32.0 | have to do the things on a daily basis that grow your confidence. You cannot go a day. You |
| 0:37.1 | cannot go an hour without doing things to improve your confidence. We all need more confidence. |

| 1:39.1 | that day forward and every day up until this day and every day that I will still breathe |
| 1:44.5 | is by listening to special ed so I'm the magnificent and LL say I'm bad and DMC say I'm |
| 1:51.8 | the king of rock. There is not higher sucker and C. She called me sire and all the braggadocious |
