Higher rep rest pauses for blast?

[nemo]

After my last blast my right shoulder and lower back were in pretty rough shape while pretty much all my joints were a bit achy so my cruise has been prolonged a fair bit in order to let them heal up. I plan on giving myself another month to let my body recoup more for a total of a three month cruise.

My question is this what do you guys think about doing higher rep rest pauses (25-30) for all exercises on a blast in order to alleviate some stress on the joints?I have very small injury prone joints (6.5" wrists) and although I do get progressively stronger using the lower rep rest pauses (12-15) even with very strict form joint pain is usually what ends up stopping a blast after a few weeks.

If you guys have any thoughts, input, or experiences to share it would be really helpful. I'm really curious how opperating in this rep range would affect things

Yes I go high reps of 15-30 for all upper body exercises so I don't have any injuries coming up to the contest and it will still add muscle to you and help with old injuries and of course the Extreme Stretching also...

Nemo, I should have pointed out that both my rotators are bad news with all the Flat Benching I did years ago, now with high reps RP on Shoulder DB Press and Militaries my shoulders are so much better, the stretching has worked wonders also...

i injured my lower back years ago before i started training and it has haunted me ever since. i injured my shoulder due to a shitty spotter while doing shoulder presses. i still dont understand what he hoped to accomplish other than injuring me by pushing my arm forward rather than up but thats water under that bridge. my shoulder is almost back to 100% now and i'm looking forward to getting back to more intense training but i would like to avoid reinjuring things and just general joint aching as much as possible. trying to blast while dealing with aching elbows, ankles, knees, etc may not stop you from training like a full out injury would but it is certainly distracting and unpleasant

There is not one single workout that I don't have something or other bothering me joint wise...
