    I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

Warm up sets?

Howdy Folks,

As I've read various posts from y'all, I've noticed that many of you are doing warm up sets before you launch into your session of squats. I see and understand the value of warm up sets especially when the weight gets large.

Presently, I'm benching almost the same weight as I'm squatting (Sq:87.5, BP:82.5 as of today).

My question is this, if I'm doin' warm up sets for squats shouldn't I be doing warm up sets for the other exercises as well?
