To be Anti-fragile is to be strong. Strong of will and strong of body. Warm ups are often viewed as a low key, chilled out transition from life into working out. Lame. Your warm up should be as purpose driven as your training. Why not address issues we know to be important?
Shoulder stability and mobility
Hip balance and strength
Wrist and elbow health
Knee and ankle stability
"But I don’t have any joint/muscle/movement issues."
You will. It's the reality of taking your body out to its edge. Maintenance is essential. Why not do it ahead of time? Prevent common boo boos and train hard 52 weeks a year while your opponents simp around getting petted by their osteopaths.
"But it's so boring to do that stuff."
Tough bananas. Enjoy getting benched while your boo boos get fixed.
Although, if you make your warm ups diverse and challenging it will actually get you into a good state to train. Get blood flow, CNS activity, joint lubricity and get your mind in the game. Start evolving your chiro and massage sessions from patch jobs and biological Macgyvering to actual performance boosts and optimization.
Get Strong. Be less breakable.
Anti-Fragile.
