    home gym - how's this set up sound?

    When is a warmup set a warm up set and when is it a working set?

    I have been wondering when something goes from being a warm up to being a working set. Does anyone have any opinions? If i did 10kg less weight than my intended working sets would that be a warmup or just another working set?
