Is this where they advocate 300 reps. The thing I have with multiple reps is the same issue I have with police academies and also boot camp is they stress multiple and multiple reps until fatigue. While doing multiple reps over and over and over is not the best for the joints. However if one was to increase the reps and decrease the weight significantly I feel that a lot of impingement problems would decrease. While you would be able to not have any serious problems short term the long term effects of these types of exercises are well documented. Especially once your body fatigues and you result to poor body mechanics to complete the desires reps.
