Hi, i have a question about the warming up sets in barbell training. Do you log them or not? Asking because it will of course affect the statistics for volume and intensity. Whats your thoughts about this?
It's completely up to you. Some people, perhaps even most people, log everything. Others can choose, however, a percentage of 1RM and only log things above 50% or something along those lines.
For me, I don't do any lifting below 50%, so I log everything.

I do log them because it helps me see what works best for me. Sometimes there's meaning to be found there; i.e. too many warm-up sets, taking away from working sets. Or not enough, can't execute what I should be able to or things don't feel right.
I don't count them as part of the workout when tracking tonnage or volume.
