249. Should you skip the warmup?

from Help Me Understand Hosted by JK McLeod

In this fitness-focused episode, Coach JK cuts through the confusion about warmups by clarifying general vs specific warmups (including examples), and how to navigate the right strategy for yourself. He also digs into a recent study that looked at whether or not extra warm-up sets actually improve performance, and what that means if your main goal is building muscle. Instead of treating warm-ups like an all-or-nothing ritual, JK gives a perspective that helps you figure out when “less is fine” and when “a little more” can make a difference.
