Great Warm-Up, Great Workoutby Jimmy Smith
Who really enjoys doing warm-ups? It can be hard enough to prepare mentally for a grueling workout without worrying about getting your body geared up for the task, too. Warm-ups are rarely fun and often tedious, but we know they're extremely important.
So since you have to do it anyway, why not get the most out of your warm-up?
No, no, no, and definitely no.
In our facility, we try to use a different warm-up each training day. We've used some very interesting ones, but I have to say one of my favorites is a mobility complex that my good friend Brian Grasso showed me.
The original version was a demanding ground-based, total-body, multi-planar complex consisting of four movements done continuously for 6-8 repetitions each. It promoted mobility of the hips, thoracic spine, and anterior shoulders, while also improving scapular stability. All this is achieved while developing the proper motor patterns needed for the lifts ahead.
