Should there be a warm up for the ramp test?

My suggestion would be to do it as is and if you feel your numbers are low and the training afterwards is easier than expected then I would suggest adding a warm-up like Davis prior to doing the RAMP test. I did the RAMP test as is the first couple times and always thought my number should be a little higher. Then I did it with Davis as a warm-up and my numbers seemed more realistic. The goal is to get the accurate number to train from. So as long as that happens do what ever works for you.
