Dynamic stretches for quads, hip flexors, glutes, hamstrings and calves.
Then first set of exercises with something light as a warm up set.Worst jew in the world.

What seems to work for me:
stretch and foam roll lower half. Takes 15-20 minutes (I'm old)
Tabata jump rope.
2x20 BW squats.
Then start working up the weight. I've been running high rep (15) everything though so I get to working weight quickly.You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

I will always do 4 sets of 20 reps on Leg Press or a Belt Squat before squatting. Makes a world of difference.

Besides stretching, I've found that doing some lighter weight leg extensions before squats has helped me.

I usually do 15+ minutes of good cardio like running.
Then, I skip squats.

I've pulled lats / tweaked delts without a proper warmup for squats far more than any lower body issue .
With that said :
7:30 treadmill walk at 3.0 with 3.0 incline
7.30 walk backwards on treadmill (15 min total)
Assisted pull-up/leg curl superset 3x10 (light weight)
Then I do about 5 min static stretching and 3 sets or so of light band pull aparts.
Then I start squatting light and working my way up .
Whole routine takes about 25 min give or take to warm up. This has become super important for me as I approach 28 and have some nagging injuries.Reps to all BJJ/grappling/MMA bros.
