No harm being done, but probably a good amount of lactic acid being built up which inhibits the growth of your muscles being a waste product of your glycogen stores. But yeah... no harm.Originally Posted by RoeCyris

Is high rep/low weight a terrible idea?
I have a couple five pound weights on my desk and i like to just stand and do some high rep (to the point i lose count) workouts with them from time to time. It's my variation of 'pacing' around the room.
But is this a bad idea? Should I just start pacing around the room. I understand the value of doing these "exercises" might be very small I'm just curious if it's harming anything.
