General prep/warmup is important in getting the body warm, blood-flow moving, and your mentality in the right place for what’s about to happen. Specific prep/warmup is important to make sure the skills used in the workout are practiced well enough to know you can move safely at relatively higher levels of intensity. We prefer a bunch of repetitions of empty bar movement prior to any olympic weightlifting to make sure we stay safe, the movements are sharpened, and the body is ready for killing it!
