Warm up?

Builder Bal · 19-01-2006, 05:24 PM

Hi,

would 10-15 mins on a rowing machine be an ok warm up for a full body weights session?

if not could you recomend one?

thanks

i think thats a good overall warmup to get the juices flowing and get the muscles warm. Probably good to do some stretching after the row, then a couple of warm up sets like devil says on each new bodypart before upping the weights.

thanks, what weight would you suggest for the warm up? is it a set percentage of what i'm lifting?

cheers

nothing too stuck, i do about 40 - 60% of my target set weight for about 20 - 25 reps
