You show up.
Even on the days you would rather not.
You put your bag down, you get your session done, you go home.
And you have wondered more than once whether all that effort is actually paying off like it should...
Or if you are just doing what everyone else in the room is doing and hoping it works.
Now for the awkward part...
99% of people in the gym warm up completely wrong, and have no idea they are doing it.
A quick jog on the treadmill before chest day.
Or nothing at all, straight under the bar, cold.
Either way, you have been leaving performance on the table and raising your risk of injury without realising it.
This week Matt hands over the exact warm-up protocol he has used with every client since 2010, the one he calls a cheat code because it works every single time.
Come and join us as we deep dive into...
• Why jogging on the treadmill before a weight session warms up the wrong body entirely (make it make sense!)
• The funeral we are holding for treadmill warm-ups, endless pyramid sets, and R.I.P. to the trainer who told you to jog for 10 minutes before your chest session
• The 5-set cheat code that primes you to lift heavier every session, in under 10 minutes
• Why more warm-up actually makes you weaker, and the sweet spot most people blow straight past
• The 550kg leg press lesson: what happens when you walk in cold and load the bar anyway
• How the warm-up doubles as free practice, so your form is dialled in before the set that counts
• The gym habit that, once you see it, you cannot unsee (start counting how many people around you are getting it wrong)
