I like to toss a volume day in the mix once and a while. It's a great way for me to break up the heavy stuff and give my joints a break. And I have lousy muscular endurance right now, so every little bit helps in that arena. Oh, the pump is silly too.

Hitting some reps arched over the foam roller is great. I think it's going to really help my flexibility, especially in my hips, where I need it most.
