What do you do before the meat of a weights session? Where does mobility work fit in? How much prehab work do most of you do?
General exercises to raise core temperatire, (e.g. BW squats & goodmornings, arm swings etc) then specific movement rehearsal with light weights. The total duration depends on the temperature and prior state of the athlete (Usually 10 -30 minutes). The warm up is not to be rushed, it can have a marked impact on the rest of the session. Most top lifters I have encountered perform an extensive, thorough wu (for evidence see Kolecki in Poilsh Ironmind)
Stretching, if needed, is done post workout.
I include prehab work at the beginning of the session for two reasons:
-
these exercises prevent injury and therefore are high priority; also if left to the end of the programme they are often not performed with the desired quality
-
the exercises may turn on stabilising or inhibited muscle which will be required to fire in the training that follows
During the competition season I include exercises for the scapular, hip and trunk for professional rugby union players.
