Q&A for the Wenning 300 rep warm-up for lower body:


Question: Why should you do the 300 rep warm-up before a weight training workout?

Answer: The 300 rep warm-up is a great way to warm-up for building general total body conditioning. In the words of Matt Wenning, the inventor of the 300 rep warm-up, “some people are just not in good enough shape to get strong.” This warm-up before your lower body workout also will potentiate the muscles for the workout. Potentiate just means the muscles that need to be activate will be working in order to maximize strength and prevent injuries.

Question: Can you do the warm-up wrong?

Answer: Yes, common mistakes people make is going too heavy. If you do this style of a warm-up your work capacity will build up, but be patient and just try to start with 25-50% of the weight you would normally use for 25 reps. Over time the weights you are using for the high rep warm-up will move up and you will not feel drained energy wise for your workout.


Question: What are the rest intervals in between exercises?

Answer: There are no rest intervals in between exercises. The proper procedure for the warm-up execution is doing all 4 sets in a back to back fashion without resting. You will do 300 reps with no rest, so your only rest is walking with conviction to the next exercise.

Question: How do I pick the lifts for the warm-up?

Answer: Pick the exercises based on movements you will be doing that day. If you are squatting then squat in your warm-up. If you are deadlifting then do light trap bar deadlifts or leg presses for your first movement. The warm-up is designed to work deficiencies in a particular lifter. Most people have weaknesses in the upper back, lower back, hamstrings, and abs. Pick 3 exercises that will attack areas that need attention. Stick to the principle of 3 exercises for 4 sets of 25 reps without stopping. The warm-up should only take you 10-15 minutes. After 15 minutes just start your workout. We do not want to turn the warm-up into a workout.
