To the extent it matters to anyone... I usually spend about ten minutes on the treadmill before lifting and then do one warm up set of each lift I'm doing.
I wonder if some bbers don't warm up before lifting because they hate cardio and everything that goes with it? I know I do. I force myself though, because I was told that was the "right" thing to do and now I can't get it out of my head.
I don't do a "warm-up" on a tread or ellip...I do light weight warm-up sets. However, at the one gym I go to, the locker room is downstairs, so I get my heart pumping by sprinting up the stairs to the gym For my other gym, I'll run from my car to the doors as fast as I can...that gets my heart pumpin'. A also do stretch somewhat. a little before, a little during, and a little after my w/o. We all have different methods, and I don't believe that 1 thing is best for everyone. I'm VERY happy with my results to date, so what I'm doing is obviously working for me
i do one warm up set when i start a muscle group. But on leg day it is 5 minutes on treadmill at low intensity before squats to really get the blood flowing. On chest day i warm up with just the bar first pausing in all my problem spots and then do the same thing with 135 and off i go after that.
