Adaptive Warm-up Sets – Smarter Preparation, Better Performance

Warm-ups aren’t just about getting loose—they’re about optimizing performance. If you’ve ever gone into a heavy set feeling sluggish or underprepared, your warm-up might be the problem. That’s where Adaptive Warm-up Sets come in.

Rather than guessing how much weight to start with, Volym’s Adaptive Warm-up Sets tailor your ramp-up sets based on your actual working weight. This means you get just the right amount of prep without burning out, so you hit your top set feeling strong and ready.

What Are Adaptive Warm-up Sets?

Traditional warm-ups are often random—some people go too light and don’t activate their muscles properly, while others fatigue themselves before their real workout even starts. Adaptive Warm-up Sets take the guesswork out by generating structured, progressive warm-up sets based on your target weight and reps.

Here’s how it works:

  • Input your target weight and reps
  • Set rounding preferences (e.g., nearest 5 kg or 10 kg)
  • Choose your warm-up percentages (e.g., 45%, 65%, 85% of your working weight)
  • Adjust the number of reps per set to maintain freshness

No more wasting energy with unnecessary volume or jumping straight into heavy weights without proper activation.

Why Adaptive Warm-ups?

Avoid early fatigue – Preserve energy for your working sets
Activate the right muscles – Gradual weight increases ensure proper recruitment
Eliminate guesswork – No more random warm-ups or inefficient sets
Faster, more effective preparation – Spend less time warming up and more time training

How It Works in Volym

1️⃣ Set Your Target Weight & Reps – Input the weight you plan to lift in your working sets.
2️⃣ Customize Warm-up Settings – Adjust weight rounding, rep decrease, and warm-up intensity.
3️⃣ Follow Your Warm-up Plan – Volym generates a structured progression to get you ready.

For example, if your target weight is 80 kg for 8 reps, your warm-up might look like this:

  • 40 kg x 8 reps (45%)
  • 50 kg x 8 reps (65%)
  • 70 kg x 8 reps (85%)

You can tweak these percentages to match your preferences, ensuring a warm-up routine that feels right for you.

Smarter Warm-ups = Better Workouts

A proper warm-up sets the tone for your entire session. With Adaptive Warm-up Sets, you’ll enter your main lifts feeling primed, not drained—leading to stronger, more effective workouts.
