(Looking at my own logs, I seem to do best if I warm-up with ~60% of the exercise weight for 6 reps. YMMV.)

Okay, thanks for pointing this out, Sam. I will adjust that warmup tomorrow when I go to lift weights. Also, thanks for illustrating for me a use of my gym journal that seems obvious but (obviously) didn't occur to me---looking back to see how I've performed in the past, and compare that to the recent session. lol I have no idea why that didn't occur to me---blind spot, I guess. Thank you!  |
