Common mistakes

  • You grab a weight that is too heavy and turn the warm-up into an extra working set.

  • You do a generic movement instead of mimicking the exact lift you are about to start.

  • You race through the reps without feeling the target muscle switch on.

What to focus on

  • Match the exact groove of your first working lift — same stance, grip, and path.

  • Keep it deliberately light and slow enough to feel the working muscle before real load arrives.
