@@WenningStrength Great info! You should do some more videos of your own workouts! People (me included) love to see a beast going through their own routines
2 questions do you do this warm uo at the competion as well as in workouts? After this warm up do you still do normal work up to working weight progression?
Matt, ya gave me big help with my shoulders. Using resistance bands before working out is giving me motivation to want to lift, elevating a lot of pain.64 years old. Lifting since 18 yrs of age. Keeping me lifting. Thx
How much of a beginner am I? I used your deadlift warmup and it kicked my ass. Stuck with it and had a decent deadlift day. This 64 year old feels like he’s just begun the journey. Your information is priceless. Thanks brother.

10 Crazy information! Very clear with great examples to understand why I’m doing what I’m doing for maximum output. Each concept enhances explosiveness. Thanks brother 💪🏽
I have been using Wenning warm up principles to work links in my lift outside Powerlifting. My competition lift : one arm dumbbell clean and Push press. My shoulders in comparison to triceps were below par so did a 4 × 25 rep triceps extensions ( facing machine and face away from machine) to pre fatigue them for the "press" part, adding rotator cuff work. Then I got into the seated dumbbell press for the actual workout. With time the shoulder could Face the heavy loads placed on it I can say the "Wenning warm up" should be renamed " Winning warm-ups"
Awesome Video again! I do the Wenning Warm Warm Ups before my Training since a week but struggeling a bit. It’s pretty challenging but hope it will get better by time. Thanks Matt!
Matt, please can you make a video about assistance/accessory lifts for squat/bench and how to approach them (volume/intensity/frequency)? If that's possible to make a video of, it would be amazing!!
Thats getting into the patreon/online coaching territory. Remember everything I do is specific to the individual, so when it comes to blanket answers like that the best resources are my manuals.
Oh ya! Started using the warm up… and it really gave me the truth about the shape I am in… need more GPP… as well as a slower and more precise way to the 1 rep max. That’s for all 3 lifts.
Matt! Love the video, always loved your work and what you do. I’m going to be incorporating your warm up approach into my programming and my question is im about to head into a four week peaking block for my meet april 15th. Is all this added volume, though super low intensity, going to alter my peak timing and should i make any adjustments? Apologies if this is covered in another video that i haven’t gotten too. Thanks for your time, very appreciated.
After a couple of decades of training and labor work I've developed some nerve issues that shut off my triceps. So seeing how it's negatively effected my bench, yes I would say tri's are a prime power mover for bench strength.
Lets say if an any given day in gonna MAX out Deadlift, With the correct loads ans exercise selections I can warm up with some low intensity deadlifts and box jumps for example? (in the context of potentiation). Thx again for the amazing content Matt.
You mentioned in another video that this warm up also qualifies as progressive overload.I found that out after doing it 4 times so far.Muscles felt like jelly afterwards and my max strength was down by about 5% during the main sets I think thats normal until the conditioning gets established without fast twitch fatigue. I'll have to cut it down to 1 or 2 sets then build it to 3 and 4 gradually. I will still do the 4x25 as a shoirt recovery workout
Yep, as your GPP gets better:) www.wenningstrength.com/collections/manuals www.wenningstrength.com/collections/equipment www.wenningstrength.com/pages/online-coaching
Ain't that the Truth ! My big mistake was thinking a set of 12 reps on bench was my warm-up. Now I do some light high rep isolation/accessory movements first. Less sore and bench up to 90% +.
We all make mistakes in our training. The main reason I put out the manuals is to save people years of work, learn from the mistakes of someone who set world records
This is great, thank you for posting this Matt. It makes perfect sense, and I want to start giving this a try. Given all the warm-up work, do you have to adjust the "work" sets of whatever lift you're training that day? A number of years ago I was finding my tris were failing towards the end of my bench workouts. I increased the volume of my triceps work after the main bench sets (heavy dips, reverse band benching, etc). after a year or so of doing this, my tris stopped failing. This still seems to be working 15-20 years later. But your video has me thinking I'm doing things backwards and I should be doing the extra work before the main bench sets (if I'm understanding correctly) and lead to my question about adjusting work set weights. Would you think that this would be of greater benefit to older lifters, or would you make any adjustments for those pushing 50 rather than 25 or 30? Also, do you feel there would be any adjustments if switching from powerlifting training to strongman (i.e. even more prework volume)? I'm shooting for a first foray into a strongman contest by 2Q2020 and have three goals... be prepared, have fun and don't break anything. As always, thank you for all the information you provide and for all the help you offer us watching on TH-cam.
Bill F I would love to answer all those questions but thats the types of stuff I put in the manuals, dvd's, patreon, and online coaching. If we can get this channel more popular I can start giving out more for free.
@@WenningStrength - Completely understand, thanks Matt! You know you have great content when it triggers lots of questions. Keep up the great work and I'll be checking out your materials. You're never too old to keep learning!
I have been doing these warm-ups for a couple months now. I started out doing only 1 set of 25 reps for a couple exercises for a couple weeks then increased it to 2 sets, etc. I did that, now I can do 4 sets easy. Also, I started out with an extremely light weight and built up from there after a while!
Thats a start. I put out a lot of good info in my manuals to help you guys out. I'm not a fan of trying to always sell you guys something but other people have already paid for it so it wouldn't be fair to them if I started giving it away for free.
Any examples as to how to incorporate this style in everyday training? I am 63 and have started the CONJUGATE method. A little late to the game I realize that, but I have been training since the seventies and am looking for something more challenging and fruitful, the window for me lifting heavy is closing,, (bad hip and elbow) any advise would be appreciated.
How would you implement those w-ups before a Fullbody workout? Or just choose your weak point? So lets say leg curl, band face pulls & band pushdowns 4x25 and then go do your fullbody routine?
Yes sir, on both accounts- upper back and tricep exercises would be ideal here. www.wenningstrength.com/collections/manuals www.wenningstrength.com/collections/equipment www.wenningstrength.com/pages/online-coaching
Matt love your channel. I have a question for you with the Wenning warmups. Am I doing 25 reps simply to get blood flow and not go to failure, or is the weight such that I barely get a 25th rep and I couldn’t do a 26th rep?
ReeBPM awesome brother, don't forget to check out the other videos, like and share. The more attention this channel gets the more info I'm willing to give away for free!!!
Should I apply that method into all blocks of training (Hypertrophy, strength and peaking) or only on my Hypertrophy block where the volume should be at its highest?
This is great stuff. One thing I’ve struggled with is knowing what focus should go into accessory lifts if doing the warm ups. Is the intent to do the warm ups on days when only doing a core lift, like bench or squat?
Can be done as a warm-up for any training man, whether for strength, speed or hypertrophy. www.wenningstrength.com/collections/manuals www.wenningstrength.com/collections/equipment www.wenningstrength.com/pages/online-coaching
On a warm up if your lifting right after work within like 30 minutes of getting off and you have a super physical job do you think a man needs a long warm up
God... I just tried to do this for my warm up on a squat day... I don't know if I'm doing sth wrong, or if I'm just that out of shape, but an hour later I'm still recovering for my actual training session... :(
@@WenningStrength I'm guessing I did way too much whole-body movements (2/3), when you show your warmup it looks way more laid back - I was rushing to make time. I think I'm gonna scale it back, make it 1-2 rounds to start.
@@westbrad6808 Conspiracies work through government employees who have never run a business, forcing businesses out of business. You can also die of starvation and the last I heard food costs money, and I also heard that money comes working. I also heard that in order to work you have to get a job and that businesses provide jobs so people can work and receive money to buy food. I could be wrong because democrats told me money comes from governmental printing presses. Bernie Sanders implied that we can just print money the and use it without working.
@@vikingstrongman5903 I get ya, but both sides do the same stuff. Correct, printing money, isn't making money and death comes at the backend of all the stuff Dems are pushing.
