starting strength warmup sets

[choked]

I know the program calls for warm ups, but I cant seem to find out what percentages to use, the amount of reps or the amount of sets. Any help would be appreciated.

Okay, and what is the warm up information so I can perform the workouts correctly immediately

Here you are:

Put your working set weight in on the "ending weight" box, and it will tell you the weight and reps for the warm up sets.

It's in the book. Did you read the book?

You start with light weights and low reps, you build up to close to your working weights and even lower reps.

Thanks man, you've been a big help. I'd rep you but it wouldn't do anything.

rdferguson, I am not going to buy the book. I dont think there will be anything magical inside that will be drastically different than what is already online. Luckily the information i requested was in a link.

I really do feel kind of sorry for the authors, and I understand why it's so impossible to find really good information by buying a book - anyone who writes a book has trouble making any money off of it.

On the other hand, I'm not fond of how the book buries info about warmup sets in the middle of a chapter way in the back either.

One good thing about the book is that it's consistent in describing your form - reading the internet you get a hodgepodge of info on form, not realizing that one person will be talking about a low bar squat, another person the high bar squat, someone else the box squat, etc.
