Yeah, absolutely. I see why IK prescribed the way she did. Of course, everyone's warmup is going to be a little different. What I do and what you do should not be exactly the same once you tweak and experiment.

One thing I always do is start off with five or six with the empty bar. Now for me this is like having absolutely nothing on my back as far as how it feels but basically it's a test to see that all the parts are greased properly.

But if I was going to go for 220 AND keeping in mind the kind of thing that IK is talking about I might do something like this, which won't SEEM as minimal but in reality will be much less.

Keep in mind that for a relative novice the reactions to heavy neuro muscular stimulu is different than for a more advanced lifter. What would simply create undue fatigue in a novice due to the relative immaturity of the CNS might actually make the advanced lifter "stronger" due to the more immediate fitness effects from this kind of stimulus and their ability to work more comfortably in their upper ranges of ability. With that said, a too heavy warmup, is a too heavy warmup, and everyone must find what works best for them, as IK said.

(General warmup followed by some dynamic lunge stretches)

Empty Bar X 5 x 1 or 2
110X5
130x1 or 2
165X3
180X1

from there you could try the one rep a little higher than target or go straight to work sets.

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