How many 3blind solves is a good warmup for a full scale multi-blind attempt?

Approximately from your personal experience, how many 3blind solves is a good warmup for a full scale multi-blind attempt (1 hour)

I generally do not do warmup 3blind solves before my official multi-blind attempt. Do you guys do warmup 3blind before official multi? I understand that 3blind memo and pacing is different from multiblind, but doing ECEC untimed blind practice on a single cube is a good warmup routine I feel.

I don't warm up at all for multi, scrambling is enough physical warm up and I don't want to waste any mental energy

To warm up for blind I would prefer to run a half marathon but as I didn't find the option I voted on 3X blind, as it is the most similar

I haven't done MBLD or (serious) 3BLD in nearly a decade, but at the very least, trying to physically warm up seems silly when you're spending 30-40 mins not turning a single cube for your MBLD attempt. For comp performance stuff, I'm of the opinion that all you can really do is just practice at home, see where your skill actually lies on good/average/bad days, then plan accordingly. If you feel like you need to do solves to remember your memo order, you're probably aren't doing the whole "practicing MBLD at home" thing.

I always found that doing a few 3BLD solves would get me in the mode of going fast. That requires trying to do the 3BLD attempts as fast as possible. If I did multiBLD without any 3BLD warmup solves, I would usually have a slower memo time for the multi attempt.
