Same, then do some dynamic stretching0 -
Dynamic stretching then lifts at empty /lower weight for a few reps/sets.0
-
10 minutes on the treadmill, increasing speed every 2 minutes0
-
Light weights. Lots of reps and sets.0
-
Dynamic stretches, foam roll or use a tennis ball if something is really tight. I walk a few blocks to the gym and have at least 3 warm up sets before working sets so I don't see the need for anything else.0
-
warm up sets before my working sets on the first lower and first upper body movements.0

I walk to the gym (15 minute walk) and do warm up sets0
-
Gentle cardio for 5 minutes.
Bench days, go through some shoulder mobility/roll out any tight spots. Warm up starting from the bar up to my working weight.
Squat days, banded glute warmup, hip flexor distraction/stretching, warm up my shoulders because I low bar and otherwise they hate me, warm up sets from the bar up.
Deadlift days, banded glute warmup, then my warm up sets.0 -
Just warm up sets of the exercise in going to do with a low weight/empty bar. Plus a little dynamic stretching.0
-
I do 10 minutes of walking on a steep incline.0

Maybe not the smartest thing, but I sort of dive into lifting, just progressively load weight until I get to my current lift; so I do get a basic warm up.
Example: Squats
Basic Stretches if I'm feeling tight -> 5 Reps with 45lb Bar -> +45lbx2 for 5 reps -> +45lbx2 for 5 reps -> +45x2 for 5 reps -> +25lbx2 now being at target weight 5 sets of 5 reps. -> Re-rack weights, do the same for the next lift.0 -
On leg days - you can find me on the stationary bike for about 10 mins -- on upper body days you can find me at the row machine for about 10 -- on ab/cardio days I am on the elliptical...0

I've been doing Stronglifts 5x5 for just over a month now. Since all the equipment is in my garage and it's winter, 5-10 min of cardio is a must to actually warm me up. I run, jog, skip rope in place as well as jumping jacks then move on to some dynamic stretching. Then the 5x5 warmups of empty bar + building up the weight to get to your actual weight for that workout.0

I hit it every day, do I like to try to get loose pretty much legs, back, and shoulders ever day regardless of which main lift.

i do a few minutes of cardio, and then some warm up exercises into warm up sets til i hit my working weight.0
-
Walk to the gym, a little dynamic stretching and a set of everything with lighter weights.0
-
5 minutes on the treadmill.
Squat or DL day => shoulder dislocations and some easy twists to loosen up my back
Bench or OHP day => lucky cats for my rotator cuffs0
