Expert consensusWarmup
A review of warm-up strategies concluded that an active warm-up combining general aerobic work with task-specific preparation can enhance subsequent performance, largely through raised muscle temperature and post-activation potentiation, while excessive warm-up volume can cause fatigue. Warm-up should prime without draining.
How Fibral applies it: Precede heavy training with a brief general warm-up plus a few ramp-up sets of the first exercise; avoid warm-ups long enough to induce fatigue.
