You know that tightness on set one that doesn’t go away until set three?

It’s not pain. Just tight.

Rep one feels off.
You push through.

By set three you finally feel “ready”

but now you’re already a little fatigued.

That’s when something tweaks.

Not because you’re weak.

Because your body wasn’t organized for load yet.

Most warm-ups just increase blood flow

They don’t prepare your system.

So your first working sets become part of your warm-up

and fatigue starts building before you’re even ready.
