When I transitioned to Stage 2, I put together a new set of warm-up movements taken from the options listed in the Men’s Health Big Book of Exercise. Here is what I picked based on my workout:
- Hand Crossover for shoulder mobility
- Reach, Roll, and Lift for shoulder and upper back mobility
- Squat Thrusts to enhance hip and shoulder mobility
- Lateral Step-Over for thighs and hips
- Lying Straight Leg Rise to loosen hamstrings
- Groiners to loosen hip adductors, groin, and hips
- Hip Raise for glutes and hip abductors
The book has a section where it lists warm-up exercises by category, and you pick them like you would from a Chinese food menu to create your own routine. I decided to change warm-ups with each new stage of the lifting program (I get bored easily).
