Good luck on this Verb. Just a few basic points if you don't mind.

I wouldn't use leg-extensions to warm-up for squats. In general it's not going to be a good idea to warm-up for a multi-joint movement using a single-joint one. The best warm-up for squats, imo, are squats.

Also, reconsider 0311's suggestions for using an "undulating" approach.

If these are static stretches (I use the term static and passive stretch interchangably, though some differ) then save them for after. Warm-up before and stretch after. If you want to stretch before then I recommend something like dynamic stretches or PNF stretching with the latter being a good choice for weighlifting.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
