→ Get a FREE Month of Coaching (Podcast Special) | What’s the best warm-up for muscle growth?
Most people waste time foam rolling, stretching, or jogging before lifting. In this episode, we break down what the science (and real-world experience) says about warm-ups that actually improve training performance.
You’ll learn why most warm-ups don’t help (or even hurt progress), how to structure yours for strength and hypertrophy, and the exact warm-up protocol we use with clients for better results in less time.
