We cuttin now ✂️

If the pump is nice and the joints feel good then give it some time. The increased circulation will be good for connective tissue. Not a bad thing to improve on a cut when you aren't likely to grow, and if taking close to failure you are still getting real growth stimulation plus work capacity.

I'm definitely not going to failure. The initial sets of 20-30 are probably 8-10 reps shy of failing. I'm pumped and it's burning and kinda taxing but I could grind out more reps. My final set is probably more like 2-3 RIR. I'm really doing very little to stimulate growth. I'm more focused on conditioning work, a good pump to get the joints feeling good and loose and even a little muscle endurance. I'm picking a few exercises here and there and going a little heavier but still 15 reps.

The goal is to get ripped and well conditioned and getting my shoulders and knees back to normal or as close as possible.

Hitting the heavy bag isint the greatest for shoulder joints either but I'm working strategic with that. Il be doing some one on ones with one of the boxing trainers 2x week for the next 6 weeks too
