warming up

[nuknuk]

How long do you take to warm up or do you just start lifting light and go up in weight?

I used to not warm up much at all, but now I find myself taking time to do so, before I hit the weights.

i always start with a "few" pull ups and situps, followed by 5minutes on the speed ball.

I always stretch and if im doin any push movements I warm up my shoulders with a 5 pound plate with pitcher exercises. I take about 5 minutes to do all that

i do the same as metal.....strectch out and warm up rotator cuffs...do one light set for whatever body part then hit it heavy

I will do 5-10 minutes on a bike or something just to get the heart rate up and blood flowing. And before I do chest or shoulders, I always do rotator cuff warm up exercises.

I don't warm up per se like on a cardio machine. I just start with light warmup weight for each exercise I do. More about acclimation to the weight for me.
