Then call me Sally!
Okay ... I know you already do.
Seriously, though, I wasn't warming up for a while and just recently got started back with warmups and I notice a huge difference. 10-15 minutes has really helped me hit things harder and with more confidence.
But I'm a Sally, not a BAMF like the Admiral.
8 minutes bike; 15-20 minutes foam roller on my legs (hams, glutes, and quads); stiff-legged deads with razor sharp form, slow, with only the bar, and a pause at the bottom to get a good stretch; bar-weight deads, sumo, just for the hip mobility; then some more foam roller for 5 minutes before DrMS came down from the ellipticals (and asked me if I was okay as I laid there writhing in pain on my stomach, rolling out my quads
).
