Squat warmups

[candyass]

A while back I hurt my knee deadlifting; the good news is that its fine now. I'm going to start squating for numbers again. I was think of doing 3 sets of warm up box-squats followed by 3 working sets of squats.

This what it looked like last week:

Box-squats:
1x8@135
1x6@185
1x4@205

Squats:
2x6@315
1x3@375

Now to get to my question. Is that box-squat warm up adequate? I dont want to reinjure myself just when I'm getting back into the game. Oh, I forgot to add that I also do a minute of sprinits before all of this.

Ditch the sprints.

That looks fine. For an overall warmup i like to do light overhead squats.

I think you have too big a gap between your last warmup set and your first work set.

Id' suggest maybe a couple singles in there just to acclimate your muscles/ligaments to the weight before throwing an additional 110 lbs on the bar.

245 x 1
275 x 1

or at the least, one single at 255 or something.

Nice input FH. You have made a very good point.
