My point is, actually, that whenever someone says "I just do 1 set or 1 rep and am done, after warmup" that the warmup sets are really part of the exercise...

looks like mkirklions responded and really he does 5 sets with increasing weight, then does his heaviest.

So it is more like the classic "pyramid" or "increased weight until near-exhaustion" sets, which have been around since forever...

It depends on what percentage of his 1rm he's doing. I use 531 and it's based off a training max which is 90% of your 1rm. You never lift heavier than about 85% of your 1rm on the program because doing so is heavily taxing on your CNS. Unless he is using PEDs he probably won't last long-term if he's lifting close to his 1rm twice a week.

So you do 1 Rep Max once a week. Not bad advice.

How many warm up sets do you do?

It's actually very bad advice, do not do this. All of the literature will plainly tell you this is a bad idea.

Hint: Move to the backend. Building the APIs that crunch SQL into JSON for the react/angular/fad of the week folks to consume is much easier, and the half-life of your framework and language knowledge can be measured in years, not months.

Any recommendations on where to start with that? As someone who started with front-end because it was the easiest to jump into right away, and is now already sick of it, I'd appreciate the help transitioning to back-end. I have some PHP experience and a touch of SQL experience.
