3 Insanely Effective, FAST Upper Body Warm-ups

mf-ben

If you’ve picked up the latest edition of Men’s Fitness, there is a big 4 week AMD workout in it.  You know from all of my posts here on Diesel and if you’ve purchased this innovative muscle building system, that I’m big on full range of motion movements, a thorough warm-up, activation exercises, SMR and everything else that helps you stay healthy and move better.

It is so important as you get older and it is so important for coaches and personal trainers who are responsible for helping athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

READ THIS NOW

With this in mind, I created a killer new video.  Each warm-up might look like a whole lot of exercises;  more than you’re used to.  But as you get proficient, you’ll flow from exercise to exercise and it should not take you longer than 10 min.

In this video you’ll find 3 choices.

Three different upper body warm-up routines that you can pick and choose from for your workouts.

What To Do Next?

1.  Watch the Video

2.  Rate at 5 stars

3.  Print out all 3 Warm-up exercise lists on this page, or in the description on the YouTube video.

Copy and paste the following into word and print it out.  Take it with you to the gym.

    Smitty, great warm-up sequences! I like the wall dribbling for scapular stabalization and movement..genius. Its all in the little details with you guys…for example, external rotations with the towel roll under the axilla. This causes teh infraspinatus to contract in a much better and more effective line of pull than if the arm is at the side of teh trunk. There are a ton of therapists that don’t even know this…keep up the great work man!

    5 stars from me

    Awesome stuff as usual, Smitty. I like stuff like this b/c not only is it a great warm-up, but it also – over time – is a good way to add to your overall work capacity w/o really even ‘trying’. I don’t know how many times I’ve done warmups like this, finding myself getting more tired than I think I should, only for it be like ‘nothing’ just a few workouts later. Just building more of that capacity.

    Keep the kickass info coming man!

    I notice you often proscribe Hindu Pushups for strength and mobility, ROM, etc. You don’t, however, seem to recommend Hindu Squats. Just curious why?

  12. Jedd Johnson Says:

    Hindu push-ups help out with the shoulders. We’ve used them and tried them and liked them. I have never done Hindu squats, so I can’t really comment on them, but maybe Smitty has?
