If the warm-up sets fatigue you instead of prepare you, they are not warm-ups and your strength cannot increase.

progress means more strength, not more exercises; the variable we manipulate is load, not exercise selection.

Anytime a new movement is introduced, be conservative with the weight you use the first time you do the exercise.

Doing the squat first provides a superior warm-up for all the subsequent movements, and doing the squat while you’re fresh grants it the attention it deserves as the most important exercise in the program. Remember: strength is the basis of power.

Your training priorities, which should depend on your advancement as an athlete, should involve strength, power, or mass. No matter how long you train, or how strong, explosive, or big you get, your training will always be tied to the performance of these basic movements or their derivatives.
