What is a Warm-Up Set?

A warm-up set is a set of exercises performed before the main workout sets, using a lighter weight to prepare the muscles, tendons, and joints for the heavier loads to come. Warm-up sets are crucial for injury prevention and can improve performance in the main workout.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ WUW = 200 \times \left( \frac{50}{100} \right) = 100 \]

The warm-up weight is 100 lbs.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ WUW = 150 \times \left( \frac{60}{100} \right) = 90 \]

The warm-up weight is 90 kg.
