This is the warm-up for Olympic weightlifting recommended by Greg Everett of Catalyst Athletics.

Use it as-is, or substitute/omit/add drills as needed to address your individual needs.

If cold and/or particularly sore or stiff, begin with 2-5 minutes of monostructural activity like rowing, cycling or jogging.

You can follow this with a quick and light foam rolling series, shown here - youtube.com/watch?v=mhTP4V8JcG0

Then run through this series of DROM drills before beginning your specific barbell warm-up for your first exercise. 10-15 reps (10-30 seconds x 1-3 sets for the 2 static exercises).
