Warming up before you begin a weightlifting routine is important to prepare your body for the workout and could prevent injuries. A proper warm-up will make your muscles more pliable, loosen up your joints, and can lead to a better overall performance. A proper pre-lifting warm up is all about priming your muscles, your nervous system, and your mind to train.

The goals of any warmup are:
Activate your muscles to reduce the risk of injury from lifting “cold.”
Get your head in the game so that you’re focused on the lifting itself.
Raise your body temperature to prepare yourself — and your cardiovascular system for lifting.

Putting in a little bit of work before your workout proper will make your training more comfortable and less threatening both mentally and physically, allowing you to focus on making the strength, size, or performance gains you’re really after.

Warming up is literally about getting warm — a good warm up should increase your core temperature. A proper dynamic warm up will increase muscle blood flow and total body blood circulation. This is key for delivering oxygen-rich blood to the muscle tissue and clearing out metabolic byproducts from previous training sessions. Additionally, a proper dynamic warm up will begin to shunt blood flow to the gut. You’ll get higher distributions of total body blood flow to active muscle tissues. With your blood already flowing where it needs to before you start your lifts, you can further enhance your exercise output and performance.

A dynamic warm up gives you the chance to mentally prep for a training session or competition. The better you’re warmed up, the more likely you are to avoid injury during your training. With your blood pumping to the muscles, you’re about to use, you’re less susceptible to muscle strains. Your connective tissues will be warmer, with more nutrients and energy from the blood.
