Title says it all. Any reason not to super set?

Can I super set my warm up?

I have been doing so for a while. Would like to know too.
I guess it depends on how you warm and what your warm up consists of.
It's what I've been doing for a while now and prefer it that way because I only need my warm up to .. warm me up so that I could go on and do the elements I'm currently working on ![]()
I do it, why sit around and waste time?
Provided of course you aren't being a warmup hero ![]()
What is a warm up hero?

"Note also that the rate of perceived exerction (RPE) on these warmup sets should only be moderate, at best."
That's in the Warmup intro of the course. Don't try really hard, because that's not the point.
Im doing it to, looks like everybody does it so probably you can. ![]()
Thanks for answering!
Do you do a your warmup as a cohesive block prior to starting you proper Foundation work for the day? I've always done an individual element warmup prior to beginning each exercise. It seems to work fine, but now that I think about it the one shot way might make more sense.

I normally do a general warmup (joint rotations, IM's, etc) for 15-20 minutes then move onto Foundation work and do warm up PE/IM's before my current progression, so Fb goes:
General warmup
SL:PE-IM/1 2 set
SL:PE-IM/2 1 set
SL:PE-IM/3 5 sets
MN:PE-IM/1 3 sets
MN:PE-IM/2 5 sets
SLS:PE-IM/1 3 sets
SLS:PE-IM/2 5 sets
But thinking of doing:
General warmup
SL:PE-IM/1, MN:PE-IM/1, SLS:PE-IM/1
SL:PE-IM/1, MN:PE-IM/1, SLS:PE-IM/1
SL:PE-IM/2, MN:PE-IM/1, SLS:PE-IM/1
SL:PE-IM/3 5 sets
MN:PE-IM/2 5 sets
SLS:PE-IM/2 5 sets
This is what I do prior to beginning strength work:
1 x 15r AU
1 x 30r ABR
1 x 5r Xiao Pengs
Weighted pancake stretch 3 x 30s / JC 3 x 5r / kneeling lunge stretch 3 x 30s / assisted german hang 3 x 30s --> supersetting
It takes about 10-15 minutes and gets me warm.
