Before going hard, you should try out the equipment you plan to use for the day. "You can always start with body-weight exercises first, like push-ups for bench day or body-weight squats for squat day." And once you finish body-weight drills, you can progress to an empty bar, and then add weights incrementally as you need them. "There should always be two to three warmup sets before you start your working load for the day," Mosher says. "This is the time to really focus on hammering good form, making sure you are moving as fluidly and perfectly as possible." Once these sets are done, you're ready to roll.
