Wenning Warmups—
From the amazing Matt Wenning himself, these warmups are a worthwhile addition to your regimen.
What to do:
Pick 3 exercises to get you ready for the session ahead. These include a prime mover, an accessory for your weakness, and a second one that gets your gut ready.
Do 20-25 (12 reps for unilateral exercises) reps of each exercise for four rounds. Load is LIGHT. If you’re burnt out you’re going too heavy. The 4 rounds raise your HR to around 140bom.
This gets you ready for the session, ups your GPP, and gives you volume that you likely need anyways.
Example:
Let’s say we’re training bench. My weakness is in my triceps and my back needs to get engaged.
I’d do 4 rounds of:
Dumbbell bench 25 reps
Lying tricep extensions 25 reps
Lat pull-down 25 reps
This should talk you less than 15 minutes.
The shorter you’re in the gym the quicker you can recover!
