Author: Joe DeFranco June 25, 2026 Duration: 1:04:29

In this episode, Joe D. explains why one of the most common warm-up mistakes is actually making lifters weaker before their work sets even begin. He shares a smarter approach to programming warm-up sets for better strength, more muscle, and improved performance -- while revealing the exact warm-up progression he used before hitting a recent PR with the 100-pound dumbbells. Joe then breaks down the biggest superset programming mistakes that sabotage workouts, along with simple adjustments that can make them more effective. He wraps up the episode with an often-overlooked shoulder health tip that could finally help eliminate those nagging aches and pains. If you've ever wondered why your shoulders still hurt despite doing "twice as much back work," this episode explains what's probably missing from your program -- and how to correct it! *For a full list of Show Notes + Timestamps visit www.IndustrialStrengthShow.com.
