- Using percentages to warm-up keeps it simple for new lifters, but for experienced lifters, there's an easier and faster method.

Thanks very much!
You're welcome!
Fantastic help Phil. Thank you. I never liked the percentage system, this makes a lot more sense, and also ties in well with you ‘always use the biggest plate possible method’. Thanks again mate. Keep up these great videos.
You're welcome, Travis. I've covered some of this in another comment thread on this video, but I thought it might be worth re-mentioning - we use a percentage system for our newer lifters (similar to the one Grant Broggi covers in this SS video: ruclips.net/video/s5hpE9wYka4/видео.html) because it's one less thing for them to think about - they just walk over to the chart (which we have up on the wall), write down their warm-up weights and reps, and get to lifting. But at the same time, we also tell these new lifters that we're going to start moving away from the chart in a month or two (once they're not thinking about so many other things). Percentages tend to make things a bit simpler and quicker at first, but in the long run, the method covered in this video is simpler and faster once you gain some experience.
Appreciate the information keep the video coming 👏 👍
Thanks, and will do!
Very helpful!
Hey there Shane - glad it helped!
This is great! Very helpful...any thoughts on how to scale this for a 1rm?
Hey there Eric! For your last warm-up, you'll probably want to hit a single that's about 5-10% below your planned 1RM attempt. Andy Baker has a great video that talks about this process: ruclips.net/video/ho4LzMmX58Y/видео.html.
And yes, I realize that I was adamant that people not use percentages in their warm-ups :-) Percentages can be useful and appropriate at times - it's just that I don't want people to be tied down to them for most of their warm-up process when there is a simpler way.
On the deadlift, if 135 is already heavy for the lifter, I start her warm up with RDLs.
