I'm interested in starting sheiko, I've got a spreadsheet ready and the only problem I notice is the amount of warm up sets before the main work sets. My gym is a small bodybuilding gym, it's the only one in my area and it has one bench, one squat rack, and one spare bar for DLs. So I can't really hog the equipment for a long time, as others usually train in pairs so working in becomes a big nuisance.
Would it be stupid of me to basically work up to my main sets much quicker?
For example, if my work sets on bench are with 100kgs, I could warm up on DBs then do a quick bench set at 80kg, then one at 90, then staight into work sets?
Good choice on looking into Sheiko. I love it and many others do as well. In my opinion, if the 15 minutes of working up to your first work set is too much, then the 30-45 minutes of work set lifting is definitely going to be too much. Often, work sets reach 10 or more sets.
If you're really looking to save time, warm up however you want assuming it doesn't effect your actual work sets. Personally, though, I'd just stop caring what others think and take that equipment for the 15 extra minutes that you'll need it. As well, some of those work sets are highly beneficial, especially on bench were they might be 4x2 then 3x2.
