he's wasting time IMO. after 1 warmup set for flatbench, you should be good to go for ALL of your chest lifts. granted, you probably don't want to throw a HUGE load of weight on your first set of a new lift (ex - decline) but i agree with you....
1 warmup set is sufficient, and after 3 sets of heavy chest.. WHY IN THE WORLD would you warmup on incline or decline? it's just targeting the chest at a different angle. haha...
seems foolish and stupid IMO to warmup over and over. the muscles are hot already from flatbench.
My name is FOX.... and I approve this message.
