What is your warmup and stretch routine like?

My body is constantly sore in a bad way. I can't progress properly when all my tendons hurt and I am afraid it is only a matter of time that I'll get a pretty bad injury that can put me off the gym for months. I warm up but I'm obviously not doing something right.

Any IST veterans willing to give me a helping hand I'd greatly appreciate it.

          Your mom had to put extra lube inside her before I put it in and cried about how painful it was. I'm still sore though.

      You're better off not reading Omega. it's absolute dogshit. If you thought Ohma's comeback was bad it only got worse from there.

    It's so fricking bullshit that he was brought back. This was a perfect end and cautionary tale about pushing yourself too hard. Omega a shit.

    two things
    1. look up an actual sctretching guide on the internet, dont come to IST for advice moron
    2. eat enough protein, 150g+ is the minimum per day, your post workout meal is very very important as well for recovery

    I run in place in the sauna or jump up and down until I'm warmed up

    >and stretch routine
    I don't have any sport related goals where stretching is germane to accomplishment. I have no interest in things like karate, gymnastics, or ballet. There is actually evidence to show that too much flexibility can reduce performance. If I can maintain proper form in the full ROM of my joints, that is just the right amount of flexibility.

    i think you're pushing too much. literally just take a rest. like not a day, a week or two, completely cool off, then come back and see you magically got better lifts.

    do a 2 week deload cycle

    easiest warmups is just ramp up your weight for 2-3 sets before working sets. I normally do a set of just the bar, 95, and 135 on bench before any working sets.

    stretching should be reserved for after lifts. do it while your muscles are warm. Highly recommend looking up mobility routines which is range of motion + control.

    When I was starting out, the first few months I didn't know how to warm up properly, and my joints hurt a lot and even stopped me from being able to lift some days.

    Picrel worked for me, consistently.

    > 5 mins foam rolling

    The following circuit, insert warmups for your own mobility problems:

    > hanging knee raises, focus on opening the hips
    > banded active leg lowers, improve ROM every rep
    > KB RDL
    > Straight arm lat pulldown, focus on activating the lats improving connection
    > band pull aparts + over and under
    > bent knee reverse hypers

    Do 1-3 circuits until you feel a slight sweat and ready to frick shit up.
