THE STRONGER YOU ARE THE LONGER THE WARM UP

84. THE STRONGER YOU ARE THE LONGER THE WARM UP As you progress in your bodybuilding you'll find that you'll be hoisting some serious poundages in your workouts. What this means is that your muscles, tendons, and ligaments will be subjected to much more stress than when you started training. It's a fact that the stronger you get the more likely you are to incur an injury. To reduce the chances of this happening, increase your warm-up time proportionally. One or two light sets may be fine for a 100-pound bench press, but when you get up to 300+ pounds you'll need to do three or four light and medium warm-up sets to adequately prepare the muscles.
