The great questions just keep coming in:
Here is one from Anthony…..
“…was talking to boss about working out, his bench press routine right now consists of 2 or 3 sets of 25 reps of 225, plus 2 or 3 sets of dumbell press with 85’s or so. As I try to get back into lifting, I am thinking that I should lean towards slightly higher reps than I have in the past…since I have always tended to try to move up the weight fast, leading to the occasional long-lasting injury. However, I also recall that Manny (Osteopath), suggested that high reps may put excess stress on tendons. He was also very much against doing any behind the head exercises (pulldowns or military press) and any exercises while bent over, even with light weights, unless your body was completely supported. Do you have thoughts on limiting the # of reps per set? Any thoughts on completely avoiding behind the neck/bent over exercises?”
Huge question and great to dig into in the New Year, thanks Anthony….take a minute to what my thoughts are below:
