Doug I can't even believe you said "nobody said anything". People said and said and said about warmups from the time you got on this site.

Whoa, Eric, call off the dogs, man.. :(
If you want to take it as a dig, or a cop out, that's on me, and it's a shame..
All that was meant was that,
as far as my memory went, till now, nobody had really stuck it to me for my shitty warm-ups..
I did just go back and peruse the thread and around page 12 I DID find this from Pity:

on your warmup sets....i would not go for five reps that close to your working weight...keep it to two or 3 reps and conserve your energy for the working sets.

So mea culpa, mea maxima culpa..
If you have the patience to go through it and dig up more, I'll eat MORE crow..
But in 36 pages that's all I could find concerning warm-up weight and reps..
Nobody had been taking me to task, really, as I am still pretty weak, and was still getting results..
Now I've hit a wall, and finally I can hear the exasperation!
