    I believe you read it somewhere and tested it out. That's why I asked the rationale behind it. Too many times we are instructed out of some 'guru's' whacko idea that this is what we should be able...

    I've done my 90s for 25 reps but it started to aggrivate my shoulders, so I dropped down in volume. Hmmm...
