The purpose of warm up sets are to get your body ACCUMULATED to the weight not pre exhaust your self. I prefer doing triples till i reach my working sets.

I don't think doing 4 reps is warming up unless you were stopping yourself at 4 and not going to fatigue. I usually never drop below 4 reps. If I can't do 4 I take some weight off.

Berz out.
