Typically, warm ups should be designed to prioritize movements that mimic what is being done during the workout or sport. They should prepare the whole system and specific tissues to handle the tasks ahead. In order to take advantage of the benefits and minimize any negative effects of the protocols above, I sequence warmups as follows 1. Light cardio of choice for 10-15 minutes 2. Whole body foam roll with emphasis on primary regions to be trained 3. Movement series of dynamic stretches that mimic sport or training movement 4. Sport and training plyometric/explosive exercises done just prior to primary movement 5. Static Stretching is typically done during the cool down only. I suggest only doing static stretches post training, or for very specific highly inflexible areas just after light cardio and before foam rolling. Be cautious, creating too much flexibility in a joint that isn’t strong enough to control the increased range of motion during loaded training can pose injury risk.
