Regan Grimes Shows the Warm-Up Routine Every Lifter Should Use

[Regan Grimes Feed]

Regan Grimes breaks down a simple warm-up that keeps your body ready for heavy training and helps you avoid the aches that show up as you age. The goal is to wake up the muscles, move lightly, and prep your joints before the first working set.

He starts with a resistance band. He uses it for active stretching so the muscles switch on without holding long, deep stretches. He keeps the movement light and controlled. This turns on the shoulders, arms, and upper back before any real weight touches his hands.

He adds quick foam rolling to unlock the back and lats. It is short, just enough to get the tissue loose. He follows that with a simple bicep stretch. He rotates the top of his hand outward and leans forward slightly until he feels a mild pull. He avoids deep, aggressive stretching because that can do more harm than good. The goal is gentle movement, not forcing anything.

He finishes by opening the shoulder, rotating back and forth to build mobility before lifting. Once the warm up is done, he moves into the first exercise with a few lighter sets to finish preparing the body.

This routine is fast, easy, and keeps you ready for heavy work whether you train bodybuilding or powerlifting.
