after reading warm up in Max-OT way, i have question about 5x5.

in max-OT, every working set is maximal with 4-6 reps and the warmup set is minimum for acclimation.

imo, besides the last set, the other sets in 5x5 are submaximal. it is some sort like to warm up the muscle for the last set. is it a waste of energy and time?
i know 5x5 is a very effective program. i just want to learn icon_rolleyes.gif

its not a waste of energy or time. its called progressive loading, to maximize strength growth.
