Catalyst Athletics Standard Warm-up

This is a basic warm-up protocol that we recommend for use with athletic or fitness training. Add any warm-up drills that address your own particular problems, and omit any you don't need. You can also precede this warm-up with a quick foam rolling series.

You can see our weightlifting warm-up here.

I highly suggest uploading your video to youtube cause not everyone has quicktime, plus you would get far more views if it was on youtube compared to being hosted on your site.

Enjoy!

Gonna use this warm-up before workouts. Less than 10 minutes to warm up sounds good, thanks!

I've been doing really well on this siplme program, just hit a PR on my C&J in fact.Nick, do you ever have your lifters wait a certain amount of time between singles? I just seem to wind up waiting longer as I get heavier, and doing it by feel. It can take me between 1.5 2 hours to finish my workout.I've been doing a 3-4 day a week program of 20 sn, 10 C&J, Squat one day, then 20 C&J, 10 sn, Squat the next day. I alternate Back Squat and Front Squat as well.

Here's an interesting idea: don't require anybody to install QuickTime to watch a video. QT is an aggressive pest that wants to install stuff I don't need. Why not make it *easy* for people to watch?

On average, how long should this warm up take?
10 minutes or so should be good.
