i know warming up is an important part of working out , when i first started working out i ran about a half mile to get my heart rate up before i would work out , but i havent done that in months cuz im trying to bulk and dont wanna cut any weight.

so whats good for warming up , should i be doing just something for my heart rate or , if im doing chest maybe do some push ups or something , i mean , do i just do a mild exercise . is it ok not to warm up?

its never ok to not warmup.

i dont do any type of cardio before i workout. the way i see it is that the walk from my car and the climb up the stairs to the gym is enough to get my blood flowing.

but you do need to warmup the body part you are going to be wroking out. lets say on chest day you do

flat bench
incline
fly

start off with a set of 10-12 reps of flat bench with about 60% of the weight you are going to be starting off with.

so lets say its back day and you start off with barbell rows. then you should start with a warmup set of bb rows.

if you do 2 bodyparts in one day ex: tris/bis. then you need to do 2 warmup sets. one for tris and one just before starting bis.
