Weightlifting Warm-Ups That Actually Work
At Gryphon Strength Barbell, we believe warm-ups should do more than just break a sweat. The most effective routines prime mobility, activate stabilizers, and groove technical patterns before heavy lifts. Our approach to weightlifting warm-ups that actually work blends dynamic mobility, activation drills, and barbell-specific prep to boost performance, prevent injury, and sharpen technique for Olympic lifters.

Why Scrolling on Your Phone Between Sets Can Ruin Your Workout
Scrolling on your phone between sets might feel harmless, but it can sabotage your Olympic weightlifting performance. Instead of recovering and staying mentally locked in, you risk losing focus, cooling down too much, and disrupting your training rhythm. At Gryphon Strength Barbell, we emphasize intentional rest periods that keep athletes sharp, engaged, and ready to attack the next lift. Your phone can wait—your performance can’t.
