Pre-game warm-up

Does anybody have a set warm-up routine they do prior to competition? I find myself doing a little jog around the field a little stretch here a little stretch there and then I pull something during a throw, or I start to cramp up. I do try to stay hydrated. I would like hear what others are doing to avoid injury. 

I do essentially the same warm up I do in the gym...foam roll/mobility/dynamic warm up.  

Drink coffee, apply horse liniment, shoulder dislocates with mini band, talk smack to every one bigger and/or better than me(everybody), some random low back and hip stuff, try not to suck.

I've never been in a car accident, so there's no need to wear my seat belt.

This is terrible advice. 

Possibly the worst recommendation ever given on NASGA.  Bravo.

lol, I was going to put that in the LC thread earlier...but it fits much better here.  Well done Adam.

Too bad she didn't make the Olympics. 

The original video for that song is damn near NSFW.   

That's FAR better than the video put up by that PhatMikeD guy a while back...

Wow. That goes for both the bad advice and the video.

I think I was misunderstood.  No worries.  On an unrelated note did you know steroid use can cause inflammation of the brain making it very difficult to process information.

So, you did it the old fashioned way?  Paint chips?  Your mom dropped you on your head?

Also, reading your results, it looks like you "hold your own" an awful lot.  

NASGA Message Board Rules

1. Stick to the individual forum subject matter
2. No libelous statements
3. No excessive profanity
4. No excessive flaming
5. No baiting or trolling

If you choose not to follow the rules, then you will be banned either temporarily or permanently.  You may be warned or you may not, depending on the circumstances.  I reserve the right to change these rules without notice and make judgment calls on other subject matter not covered by the above rules.

By breaking the rules you are creating more work for me.  The more work it is to keep the discussions under control, the less time I have to make any improvements to it and the less desire I have to continue to support it.

Surely someone with such skill at processing information and reading comprehension read the OP, which asked specifically for a pregame warm up?

You did, and gave the advice of not warming up at all.  Then said be sure to step up, yell, and not be serious.

Which, as stated, is terrible advice.  Why you would even consider telling athletes not to warm up before a competition (or anything really) is ridiculous and a disservice to anyone on this board.  You're more than welcome to provide any evidence to back up your claim though.  I suspect you won't, as you realized you were wrong in the first place, and your sole defense mechanism was to start slinging shit by flaming the athletes (presumably me) on this board.  You're right, intellect just oozes out of that style of debate.   

Make another unfounded accusation and you're done here.    

I'm thinking about trying this before my throws- you know to get my chakras in line--This guy won the silver medal!!!
