Warm-Up

It’s just as important as your actual workout.
Just to give you a few important facts on why you should warm-up:
- Increases blood flow
- Reduces chance of injury
- Increases range of motion
- Improves performance

You will need to stay composed and focus on good technique throughout the whole complex.
The weight should be chosen according to your fitness level because the time under tension here is quite high and you will perform quite a few repetitions.
Play around with different weights and see what works best for you to maintain your form.
Try to rest not between the movements but between the rounds.
