Lifting question.

Warming up is up to each individual. I personally perform better after a short run. Cardio is good, but for losing fat you need to focus on your diet

Assuming you want to lose weight: no. Warm up with 50% weight of whatever you're lifting that day. No need for cardio warmup. Separately, do walking, instead of running, for calorie expenditure. Yes ,it takes longer for the same amount of calories, but it won't impede your recovery like higher output cardio will.

Do mobility work on the muscle group you’ll be working. I recommend doing a few sets of deadlifts, squats, or clean and press until you work up a sweat before getting into the main part of the workout. If you must do cardio, do a few rounds of metabolic training at the end. Stretch to complete workout.

I usually go on the assault bike, row or stair stepper as a warmup. Then 10reps of a body weight exercise targeting what group i'm lifting with that day. Half mile run will be enough to warm you up though. Just listen to your body

Cardio makes you lose fat and muscle. Your diet is what makes a big difference. Most days I eat 2 boiled eggs for breakfast with a 1/4-1/2 cup flavored oatmeal. For lunch I eat 4 ounces of lean meat, 6 ounces cruciferous vegetables(example of broccoli), and 4 ounces cooked long grain white rice. You can use brown rice but I don't like the taste. For supper I usually repeat lunch with a different meat and vegetable.

I tend to stick to the compound lifts(squat, deadlift, benchpress, standing overhead press, etc) for most of my workout. More than 30 minutes cardio is good for your heart but not good for other muscle gain.

Cardio is for pussies. 😜

If burning fat is your main priority then nutrition is the key factor. If you get that part right, you can primarily focus your time training on what ever you want.

I've done all my training cold. It's a personal preference really, what ever makes you feel ready. I have a few kinks in places that other people may not have and after I've slackened them off and got a small amount of blood flow going then I'm good to go. Any form of cardio I generally leave to last because I want to invest my energy and fresh mindset into increasing performance (such as power, strength or agility) and really get a good focused run at it.
