How's everybody doing? The Lifting Fix here. We're doing something a little bit different today. We're going to talk about warming up.
So a big part of warming up is just make sure you're loose, make sure you're ready to go, making sure that your sense of nervous system is frying and firing and all that type of stuff. So something that is really beneficial to people is if you have one thing you know you can kind of do. feels good you're ready to go. Sometimes you kind of warm it up you feel loose but it's hard to say or you're not really sure.
So this is just kind of one little drill that you can do like the indigro warm up or even the beginning of your warm up going crazy with it that will make sure you're ready to go. When we're talking about lifting there's really two things that we really need to be ready for. We need to make sure our shoulders are ready and we're ready to get a good overhead position to receive the bar and our hips are ready so we're ready to squat. Alright if your hips are and your shoulders are warm, everything else is going to fall into place as you warm up with the bar nice and slow.
This is a drill I see Alexi Trokti do a lot. He has a lot of us. He's obviously had a lot of success. So it's something I've incorporated a lot of my...
have they've had a lot of success as well. So you start with this bar in front rack position and when you first start it might be kind of loose as it get warmer more warm it might come up a little so all we're gonna do is squat down the bottom and do some soft press. Now with a good bottom base you're gonna press overhead and actually kind of do the best I can and I'm just gonna do three. Why?
Stand up into a couple overhead squats with that same jerk grip. Okay, maybe three of those come back down and they're gonna do two more And after the second one, stand up. Okay? Simple, easy, what it'll do, it'll let you know if your shoulders are ready, and it'll let you know if your hips are ready, and your legs are ready to squat.
Again, if you're ready to squat, you're ready to support weight overhead, you're pretty much ready to go. So you incorporate that, the very last thing in your warmup, make sure, boom, ready to go, ready to go. All right? Good luck.
