Warming Up

Well, I'm finally done with the last workout for the week and holy crap I'm definitely ready to relax this weekend. During my workout today I was a little pressed for time because I had to help my brother move, so I had to rush through my workout a bit.

That's where I made my mistake. I figured to save on time so I would get through my whole workout I would just skip the warm-up. BIG MISTAKE! Within the first couple sets I was doing noticeably less weight. The reps and weight I did for all my sets was completely messed up and when I was done my pump wasn't as good.

I've heard it from Vince in his program, I've heard it from many other people, but I never really realized how big a role warming up plays until today. If you have to cut out something from the workout, cut out a couple sets, don't cut short the warm-up.

Also, whenever I warm up, I just do some cardio and warm-up sets, but stretching is something that a lot of people (including myself) overlook as part of the warming-up process. I got a video from Vince that has a really good stretching routine to do before your workout. You can check out Vince's full program using the link below the video where it says Click Here!
