Warm-Up Sets Matter More Than You Think

A few lighter sets before the real work can help you feel more prepared, move better, and avoid jumping straight into heavy weight.

One mistake I see often is people jumping straight into heavy weight. I prefer to work my way up with a few warm-up sets first. It helps me see how everything feels that day and gets my body ready before the heavier work starts.

Warm-Up Set

A lighter set used to prepare your body and movement before heavier lifting.

Working Set

The main sets where you use the weight and effort meant to drive progress.

Drop Set

A set where you reduce the weight and keep going to add more volume and intensity.

GMLYFT supports all three set types. You can learn how to use them and other app features in the GMLYFT How-To section.
