I was wondering if anyone knew how to perform a proper warmup before lifting? I really don't want to injure myself before basketball and baseball season but I want to gain some more muscle. So am I suppose to run 10 min and then strech 5 min? or do I just do 50% of my max lift few times and strech?

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Maybe do some light cardio for 5-10 mins. Then do dynamic stretches. Then warmup for the heavy compound movements by doing light sets, working up to your workset weight. Say if you were worksetting 150 kg, you could do 4 warmup sets:
5x40kg
4x70kg
3x100kg
1x130kg
..or however you want to split it. Just make sure you don't get too close to your workset weight, (I normally stay ~20kg away for squats/deadlifts) or you will prematurely fatigue yourself. You could do some static stretching after working out, if you want.

Pretty much what simon said. I often just use the bar to warm up for an exercise like squats or bench press, just to get blood flowing to the muscles.
DO NOT do static stretching before you lift.

"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.
Those 2 warmup sets aren't enough. Read what's been said earlier on in the thread and definitely read http://www.ironaddicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3404
Ya I read it it's good for people who aim for a 1 rep (usually Body Builders) but for a work out set my routine the work out set is 3 sets x 5 cuz I need endurance and strength for sports.simon said:Those 2 warmup sets aren't enough.

As far as I know, bodybuilders don't aim for one rep. Powerlifters do.
Also, the same principle can be applied to your 3x5. Each set should be heavier than the previous set. At least mine are...
My squats looked like this on Monday:
135x5
185x5
225x3
245x3
275x3
305x3
315x3
185x20 ( i had to give it a shot. It's effin crazy)

you're not listening well. it's the way to warm up for lifting, no matter what sort of worksets you plan on.CCKazi007 said:Ya I read it it's good for people who aim for a 1 rep (usually Body Builders) but for a work out set my routine the work out set is 3 sets x 5 cuz I need endurance and strength for sports.
