I was wondering what do you guys do for warm ups? I usually jog lightly for about a half mile and stretch for about 20 minutes. This can be pretty time cosuming so I was wondering, is it completely necessary to warm up like this? I know most people don't but I just don't want to pull a muscle or injure myself. Most of the stuff I've read from different sources says you should warm up lightly for 5 minutes, stretch, then do warm up sets etc. Then I read Diesels bulking post and he says no fvcking cardio? I want to bulk but won't that just lead to an injury?
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

You warm up doing the exercise you are going to do..
If, for example, you are doing chest.. all you need to do is warm up once...
Four sets of warmup.. (let's say bench press) Let's say your heaviest work set will be 4reps x 200
1 x 10 @ 40% of your expected max weight for the workout = 10 reps with 80 lbs.
1 x 6 @ 60% = 120 lbs.
1 x 3 @ 75% = 150 lbs.
1 x 1 @ 90% = 180 lbs.
Then go right into your workout.. you don't need to do any more warmups for the rest of the workout.
Warm.. no cardio... Why do your legs have to be warm, if you're going to be working your chest, or back, or arms??
Like I said, warm up doing the movements you will doing in the gym that day.

Nor do you need pre-workout stretching. Between sets and post workout if you like.
Personally I do 5 mins on the bike before a heavy leg workout but then Im not 20 anymore and I gotta loosen up the old joints a little

i tend to disagree with diesel.
if you were to do heavy deadlifting then warmup sets arent going to be enough.
i skip for 5 to 10 mins to get the blood flowing then stretch for another 5 mins, you might ending up finishing less than that time, you only need to hold each stretch for 20-30 seconds, i hold for 20. always wear something warm throughout your workout, dont be like the other try-hards in the gym with a singlet who just stand around talking to eachother then walk around with their puny chests sticking out...damn i hate them shaved birds.
wear a jacket or something to keep you warm throughout the workout but not restrict your movement.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
