And that's a really hard day.

That burns a lot of matches.

That's tomorrow.

Not looking forward to it at all.

No, I don't.

So it's four days of cardio, three days of resistance.

Now, that's going to change in the summer when I'm going to add three days of swimming.

And I will end up doing some swims on some resistance days.

It wouldn't really serve a purpose.

So I know a lot of people do that.

I know a lot of people will say, hey, I'm going to do a little bit of a warm-up on the treadmill or the stepmaster before I lift.

But I actually have a pretty strong point of view on how we should warm up to lift.

And I don't think walking on the treadmill or running on the treadmill or being on the stairmaster or on the bike is a great prep for the lift.

it's better to warm up for a lift doing movements that prepare you to lift so for example like if it's a leg day so monday's leg day right so what am i going to do i'm going to start by doing a bunch of core stabilizing stuff so i'm going to do a whole bunch of this dynamic neuromuscular stabilization stuff so you get into basically these baby positions and you really learn to activate your core as you move around in a six month position and stuff like that

I then do a whole bunch of, like do you know what a 90-90 is or a shin box exercise is, where you're kind of on the ground in a position where you're really, you know, you can start out doing it isometrically, but ultimately going through a slow eccentric and concentric phase of movement that's kind of activating glutes.

So I go through basically a whole DNS sequence.

Then I get into a dynamic movement prep.

So then I get into a bunch of bouncing, a bunch of footwork, and then I start with really light weights.

So I'll go to a leg extension machine and do very, very light leg extensions, very, very light leg curls, come back and do more jumping and moving and lunging and go back and forth.

So I'll spend 20 minutes doing a warmup, but the warmup is geared for me to lift.
