Planks, crunches, leg raises. Get your core warmed up before compound lifts.

10 min row or spin that ramps up then light power band or hop on to the pulley for warming up back and shoulders, then on to an empty bar. I probably should do some more mobility work than I do though.
My accessories are normally vanity related shoulder / arm stuff.

Personally, I don’t warm up. Stronglifts begins with an empty bar and works up so it warms you up by following the programme.
Others may warm up, personal preference.
I haven’t done the additional exercises as part of SL either. On occasion I do other exercises but not on a SL day. As the weights get heavier, I find that I am happy enough to get SL done and I’m not fit for anything else! -
I use a long loop band to hit shoulders and glutes before starting, takes 5 mins. I'm at the point now where the main lifts are starting to kick my arse so I cba spending any longer in the gym than I need to.
The over head press is especially kicking my arse at 42.5kg (fail on last rep a few times now) but I'm probably not eating enough.

How do you guys warm up for your Stronglifts sessions?
And do you add on any accessory exercises at the end?
