I'm not Scott but my warm ups are usually 10-15 reps with just the bar for free weight stuff.......after that initial set 99% of my warm up sets are 3 reps or so.
I'm an old man and have never had issues doing it this way. It goes back to my powerlifting days when three reps were high reps! LOL

Yes I know it goes against what is written in the book but I have always done tier 3.
This week I have decided to be smart and appreciate the fact that I am very lean, not on a ton of food and over worked in my normal life.
Thus I am doing the lowest amount of volume
My question is regarding warm ups.
Is it OK in your eyes Scott to warm up with very minimal reps?
I literally did a couple of low rep sets to warm up (I am used to this approach coming from many years of powerlifting).
I feel fully ready to do the work set BUT I have accumulated pretty much no volume in the run up sets.
Thus I am relying only on the one work set to break down the tissue.
Should I look at doing perhaps sets of 10 instead of 1-3 reps for my warm ups instead?
