To prime your nervous system without tiring you.
Is it free and private?

Do I need warm-up sets for every exercise?
Usually only for the first heavy lift of the session. Lighter exercises that follow often need just one or two easy sets.
How do I use the Warm-Up Sets Calculator?
1. Enter working weight and bar. 2. Pick the style. 3. Follow the ramp.
Any tips for good results?
Stay fresh: warm-ups should feel easy. Rest only as long as you need between warm-up sets; the last one before your work set can take a little longer. If a warm-up set feels heavy, drop back a step instead of pushing through it.
