Default Warm Up...

Hey
I've just read in another article on the forum that you should not to cardio before a workout if your aim is to build muscle (mass).

Now.. when warming up before a workout I include stretches of all the major muscles I'll be using.

Might be a silly question but, can anyone suggest a good way to warm up before stretching muscles.

Is the simple answer,
5-10min jog/run,
Followed by stretches,
A few light weight reps,
Then full weight lifting.

Thanks guys.
(love the forum/site, it's been extremely useful)
