Pre-Lift Dynamic Warm-Up

Beginner Before every session 8 to 10 minutes Movement prep Mobility

One short warm-up to run before squats, presses or pulls, reused week after week. Free to load in Ægir Iron.

What this routine is

Eight to ten minutes of movement prep. All dynamic, no long static holds, which are better saved for after training: held stretches before heavy work can leave you feeling loose in exactly the positions where you want to feel tight.

Built to be reused

This is the one routine here that is not really a four-week block. It is a session you run before other sessions, week after week, whatever else you are training.

How it works in Ægir Iron

Load it and it sits in your Program page as its own thing. If you would rather have it attached to your lifting, the Program Wizard can add mobility to a generated program as a cool-down on each day or as a day of its own.

Save the long static stretching for after you lift.
