Warmups? What are you guys doing.
My minimum warmup is 5-10 minutes and is super simple. I do this 3 times:
  1. 6 each side -Dynamic stretch "Greatest stretch ever" video here - preps my hips, back, shoulders a bit as well. Just gets everything in end range. I will play around a bit on the yoga mat before and after as well if I'm feeling stiff - found a video on youtube of it and put it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CiWQ2IvY34&t=9s
  2. Hangboard on progressively thinner holds - I want to warm up my finger tendons for the really little holds. A physio once taught me you need to put a ton of load on the fingers to warm them up. Set 1 - juggy holds in the hangboard, Set 2 - set a bit more thin, Set 3- set I go till failure and try to keep it under 10 seconds to make sure I'm loading them a lot
I absolutely hate being injured so this is how I prevent that, havent had a finger injury in a few years since being disciplined with this warmup. Also I'm definitely getting more flexible slowly
What do you guys do? Or are you warming up at all?
