Do what’s best for you and your goals. A building process.

Bar warm up through a range of exercises and reps before I even consider lifting. Warm up!!! I start with a power exercise, An Olympic lift. Today was cleans. Always lighter weight and increasing depending on how I feel and working up to what’s needed for the day.
Same with squats. build into working sets. Gives u time to recruit the proper muscles and focus on technique, so that your optimal at higher weights. Only way to avoid injuries is through building each day, and building overall towards your goal. Too heavy too quick is a bad idea always. Control and do it right, then u can move up. Some days it’s best to do less and prepare for a build. Not everyday can be maximum. .

Here I was 80kg clean, 90kg front squat, for my working sets. (But I did 50,60,70kg sets before to build into it). 20kg straight leg and arm sit ups for core and upper body.
10lbs med ball circuit. Focus on core stability and power through movements.
20kg elevated glute bridge single leg. .

Don’t give up if you can’t do it immediately. It’s a Process. Do it weightless to start and go from there.
I didn’t get to this level overnight.
