How to Warm Up With Matt Wenning | Super Training Gym

[@edmondthomas282]

Winning warmups are awesome. They’ve really helped my training. Matt is definitely one of the best coaches on You Tube

[@seanmurphy26]

Absolutely insane! Doing Wenning warm-ups up to 110 lbs on incline press! If people do not understand, a Wenning warm-up is 25 reps! And he does at least 300 reps before he even starts his work out! That is 12 speed sets, with less than a minute break in between. Matt totally adds legitimacy to this channel. His Wenning warm-ups have changed my mind and body. Thank you for this video, we actually get to see Matt utilize his techniques in real time, instead of talking about it on his channel.

I researched Wenning warmup on KZbin. Gave it a whirl this morning. I have evidently been doing it wrong. I feel good. No pain in left shoulder or elbow which has been constant during workout and after. I guessed at the right weights, will fine tune in the future. Your explanation of posterior chain influence on bench work was very helpful. I’ve been told “keep your shoulder blades tight before, now I understand why. Paid particular attention to it this morning. The difference is incredible. Thank you.

[@cden19]

Everyone is always so serious about their numbers or reps or whatever. Keeping it light and having fun in the gym keeps you in there, all those other things will get better over time. Gotta have fun. Great video.

[@Madara2010X]

That was entertaining AF. Learned a lot. Thank you.

[@bangermccrusher]

I see Matt I hit the like button, simple.

[@seanmurphy26]

It's 1:30 am, I am watching this before I go do chest and back, getting completely stoked! I will be doing some of the same things

[@LongevityCPT]

I’ll vouch for this warmup- it’s legit

[@mathieujakubczyk9124]

Now you know why Colin Weng is so strong...he learned with some of the best

[@teccosman]

People often ask me for gym advice, i always end up linking a youtube video

[@wullff5478]

Its awesome see how far mark,the gym and everyone has progressed, quality vids as always keep up the good work and keep them coming!!

[@danielcurran7926]

Hey, its humble Matt!

[@tgillis2020]

Phenomenal!! I just got sore watching that warm up!!😆💪🏽

[@Wo1fLarsen]

Absolute savage. Wenning is a beast.

[@AllenHarrison]

I don't want to try anything new since I'm going to be testing in a couple weeks, but after that I'll have to try this out!

[@socraticwarrior9490]

Are you doing a similar, but possibly scaled, warmup for your tactical/first responder athletes? Thanks Matt...great info as always!

[@craigarmstrong6641]

Damn I wish there was a video showing the accessory work for this day!

[@AbesamisM]

ya i like never warm up. i needed this vid. lol

[@taylorelliott5776]

Whats the name of that bar yall used for the tricep extensions

[@andrewvincent89]

One day I will own a belt squat machine. For now there are squats, lunges, Rdls, leg press

[@wpowolfpackinternational8346]

I believe in the same philosophy everything you said💪

[@gerhardkempen4618]

@Matt Wenning. I have been looking everywhere for your 300 rep warm up on a squat day and what you would do on a deadlift day? Also taking into account that no belt squat machine is available.

[@igorgabriel9803]

0:50 train with flip flops is my dream

[@igorfitness]

Power training hard 💪💪💪💪

[@igorfitness]

Cool

[@michaelyoung6837]

How much rest between the warmup & the workout

[@newfiesig]

So, on max upper body days, you warm up chest, lats, and triceps before maxing out on bench. Do you ever do the same and max out on a pulling movement instead? Or are pulls all done during the accessory movements (I.e. 5 rep sets)?

[@JD-iu3vi]

Lets take something simple and try to turn it into something complicated day.

[@andrewlineberger7544]

Matt= "As u can see,your weights are much lighter than mine "

[@tonymcnamara9368]

Do you pyramid the weights on the wenning warm up, or just use the same weights for each set?

[@amberland7491]

This is almost like rich pianas(rip king) feeder workouts. Probably the difference is that feeders are done a few hrs before unlike matts warm ups.

[@flopez1025]

Awesome advice thx. I say protect your toes!

[@jonathanmcfadden763]

We're the book I need that

[@neobooger]

So could you do this circuit before every single workout? What if you did more of a bodybuilding routine and hit upper body multiple times a week. Would it be realistic to do these movements three times a week? Would there be a concern of overuse in terms of working back, tris and chest that many times. I understand it’s a warm up but there is still fatigue involved here.

[@rmcshakes9934]

Zone21 If you add slight variations to the exercises you use to warm up you can mitigate a lot of overuse issues, especially if you’re rotating your main lifts and cycling different loading parameters as well.

[@KetoPowerbuilder]

Would you say those partial rep incline dumbell presses are better for warmup than full ROM and why?

[@SerratusAnterior]

The for the tempo

[@MrPlaiedes]

If you're wondering what all natural looks like, it's these guys. Well done.

[@DelToroYoutube]

He walks the walk so no reason not to listen. I am not up to 4x25 yet but I have definitely added a bunch more work to my warmups. Crazy how your body responds.

[@sudhirjoshi8888]

Let's go..!!

[@NojPho]

Would you use this type of warm up for deadlift day as well? Or how would you guys normally warm up for dead’s and squat days? Love the videos!

[@ottowelt4378]

They do the same basically, but just with lower body exercises, like a circuit of hammstrings, glutes and abs or something, just search your biggest weakness and work on it prior

[@robbhensel7842]

You would do a 3 exercise potentiation of glutes, hams, abs, and low back. Maybe belt squat, ham curls, reverse hypers/GM's. I'm working with him now and in 4 weeks my conditioning is insanely better.

[@BulkBrogan.]

Matt does upper/lower body days and does this type of warmup before every dynamic effort ad max effort workout

[@randygravel2057]

When does the 30 minute run on the treadmill happen?

[@ourclarioncall]

So… is the idea that you increase the weight on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th sets of each each exercise, aiming to fail or close to failure at around 25 reps on your 4th set? The first set could be roughly half the weight of the fourth set ?

[@tootybb]

How would this be applied for lower body days?

[@sudhirjoshi8888]

Belt squats..good morning machine..half down decline situps

[@DuaqsToir]

Warm up your weak points like hamstrings, low back, abs

[@rickyready88]

First and good vid

[@Luke-id1cp]

Who in the right mind would call this a warm up this is a damn workout I have to get my training done in like 45 minutes as I'm sure most normal people do

[@genezysgoncalves5937]

It takes only 15 min

[@manu85345]

I know this comes eons late but song ids??

[@Bravo-Too-Much]

That’s a whole workout for a warm up

[@gympower.storeliftingbodyb4338]

💪💥🔥

[@joeyjojo9135]

You know how to tell someone is scary AF. They’re lifting heavy shit in flops!

[@dangelojustus3337]

A tip : you can watch movies at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies recently.

[@johanjack690]

@Dangelo Justus yea, I've been watching on Flixzone} for years myself :)

[@reignbishop7926]

@Dangelo Justus Definitely, been using Flixzone} for since december myself =)

[@tomhines3404]

Haven't watched ST in forever tbh. In like a year

[@stealthassasin1day291]

Wonder how his mobility is. He didn't do a single rep in a full range of motion. More body building pump style of half or quarter reps.

[@VincentS988]

StealthAssasin 1Day His mobility is excellent. Look at his IG. He’s no Gym Shark model when it comes to aesthetics but don’t let his physique fool you... This is just a warmup and it’s supposed to be low impact on the joints.

[@helmutkrusemann9194]

Is anyone here who do the wenning warmups on a regular basis? Im looking for a wenning warmup for lower body without special machines like belt squat or reversy hyper etc. thanks!

[@ottowelt4378]

I started them two weeks ago, really start light and only with 2 circuits of 25 reps because otherwise it will fuck you up a bit

[@DuaqsToir]

I do this for like 3 months now my numbers skyrocket i basicly do leg press, abs, lats for deads and hamstrings, low back, abs for squats

[@ryanturner8577]

Yea I do lat pulldowns, swiss ball hamstring curls, and suitcase carries for deadlifts. Legs I do swiss ball hamstring curls or back extensions, goblet squats with a dumbbell, and stir the pot. Just pick 3 varying exercises attacking weaknesses or underused muscles, plus maybe a mechanically similar movement. I target lats for my back, hamstrings because I am quad dominant and they are a weakness, and I always try to hit my abdominals and obliques since my abs are underactive compared to my lower back by the end of the day.

[@helmutkrusemann9194]

Ryan Turner Hey Ryan, thank you very much for taking your time and answering my question!!! Can I ask please how much weight do you use for the goblet squat? And do you go for 4x25? Thank you very much

[@ryanturner8577]

@@helmutkrusemann9194 No problem. So now I'm doing 60lbs for the goblet squats. I hold it at my chest. but conditioning plays a role. It takes time to build up haha. So I'll do my swiss ball hamstring curls first, then right into the goblet squats, then back to the swiss ball for stir the pots (usually 12 one way and 12 the other). This set up has been working great. Glute focused back raises are great as well in place of hamstring curls.

[@johnsoto8796]

Why did my man only hit the 70s for 2 reps.

[@RagingChatgbt]

I wanna know too.

[@FoxFamily0825]

Because Matt had his back turned to him

[@jvbrz86]

As Matt mentioned, conditioning needs to be improved. Fatigued set in and had to drop weight.

[@johnsoto8796]

But he did the same weight for more reps later and says he can bench 380 lbs - seems unfocused and lazy - worst effort I have seen from anyone in a ST video.

[@RagingChatgbt]

Actually he did 3! With 70s. Maybe it was too light.

[@CW-ln7zt]

Matt Wenning said he wants to hit the muscles in alot of different ways, that sounds like muscle confusion with extra steps.

[@semiephemeral9]

violates the specificity principle all over the places. plus those half ROM reps. oof.

[@semiephemeral9]

@Chaitan Reddy yepppp

[@mokc6216]

@@semiephemeral9 if you actually look into Matt's stuff he preaches doing something different enough to avoid getting overuse injuries and too much adaptation in the body but specific enough it has carry over and does not violate rule of specificity. So when he benches every week he just changes small things like grip angles type of resistance and so on but keeps it as close to a bench press to stay specific.

[@semiephemeral9]

@@mokc6216 interesting. I'll check it out. Thank you

[@littlehobo261]

The key is injury prevention

[@williamlawlor7445]

Not trying to know it all but why are you guys using such a fast tempo on warm ups?

[@ourclarioncall]

He explains how he developed his “wenning warmups “ in a few of his own videos and what the purpose’s are. One reason is many have a weak bench or a bench that has a high chance of getting injured because of dominant shoulders , weak lats and weak triceps , or lats and triceps that are not working well as a team in the compound movement. A 100 reps wakes up and warms up the lats and triceps to prime then for better contribution and participation in the bench press .

[@Necrofinowa]

Rofl at Wenning impressed with himself vs non-steriod people. I had a good laugh at that.

[@גלאלון-ד1ב]

Should i reach failure when doing these

[@brandonbaldwin8567]

Surely this warm up is just fatiguing you before hitting bench. You won’t be able to bench as heavy which over the long term means less progress. Surely it’s far better to hit bench as heavy as possible after a normal warm up without fatiguing yourself. Then work on conditioning and high volume later on.

[@strongmansam289]

Brandon Baldwin notice what Matt said about individuation of this protocol It takes time to adapt to it, so don’t start with 110s for max reps, start with 40s for sets of 15-20 and build it. Listen to a heap more of Wennings stuff and you’ll understand where he’s coming from with it and how to apply it to you.

[@BulkBrogan.]

"He who lifts the longest get's the strongest" if you pre-fatigue you won't be able to hit your true max wich will save you from extra wear and tear but also build more muscle, it's all about avoiding injury

[@SilverbackE12B]

Brandon Baldwin he also broke hella records and is extremely healthy after a decade of heavy lifting. I mean. He knows his shit for sure and he is giving this information for free.

[@pretty_flaco]

“warmup”

[@MichaelWarrenPerform]

Honestly this is stupid for people to do in general and I wish he wouldn't push this shit to the audience watching these vids.

[@pryme2013]

Lmao that guy in red benches 380???? Wtf he is that "big" and can barely move 70lb dumbbells with half range of motion wow!!! And what's with this Matt guy with his 10" range of motion. If the dumbbell isn't touching your outer chest you didnt do a rep. Also lol at needed two guys to hand you 110's. Do it yourself. What are you 280lbs? Sad.

[@kkk11112]

strength and size aren’t correlated. upowerlifter is 153lbs and benches 410.

[@SaintAnthonny]

what ever happened to full-range of motion?

[@hunt007ification]

Walking around with his pregnancy belly is a warm up in itself

[@ryan5839]

Honestly pretty weak content but the info was good

[@Phsoco]

Just looks like he's doing all the accessories first. You aren't warming up if you are wrapping up and putting on elbow sleeves for a dumbbell press.

[@mach5jeep]

This is getting pretty close to crossfit.

[@BulkBrogan.]

Except it's all hypertrophy based not friggin olympic lifts and it's all 25+ reps

[@Venged3DG]

This is how you never progress ever.

[@BulkBrogan.]

He's got 4 world records, just imagine how successful he'd be if he listened to you! You're a genius
