Previous Fbe Progressions - Maintenance

I think this has been addressed in previous posts, but I can't for the life of me find where I read it.

Once you've hit 3 sets of 3-5 on an FBE and you've moved on to a harder progression, as I understand it you should still do the easier progressions as warm-up/maintenance sets for your main FBE strength work. My questions is would you cycle through a warm up set of all previous progressions for an FBE? Or do you just pick one easier progression and do a couple of sets of warmup.

For example, if its my horizontal pushing day, and strength wise i'm doing XR PPPu should I precede this with a warm up set of: FX pushups, FX PPPu, XR Pushups, Bulgarian pushups and THEN do the main strength work of XR PPPu? That seems like a lot of warmup.

Apologies if I'm over thinking things.

Yeah - you're overthinking things.  That sounds like it would take forever.  Just warm up with the exercise one step easier in the progression, then get on to your main FBEs.

I guess I was thinking that you were supposed to do a warm up of all of them because I read (don't remember if it was Slizz or Coach that said it) that you should revisit positions/movements that you've previously mastered at least once a week for maintenance.

Thats true but if the exercise is close enough you don't need to.  For example doing ring dips is enough to keep p-bar dips.  Revisiting skills to keep them is more like getting into l-sit once a week after you have mastered it.  I do this with back lever.  I got the skill a few months ago so I just do it once a week during a ring routine.

That makes sense. Thanks!
