I went high volume repetitions today to give my joints a break. I’ve had some rotator issues in the past so if I don’t feel up to pushing weight I don’t. That’s why I love these higher volume weeks because they do indeed give the joints some rest and offer a different form of stimulation. Believe it or not, these volume workouts are much more tiring than the power training workouts which precede them.
