    Lateral Raises at the end of every workout

    @patdude832 I've heard numerous popular fitness channels (Dr. Mike, Mind Pump, Athlean-X to name a few) advocate for more frequent (sometimes daily) stimulation of smaller muscle groups. Side delts included. The rationale behind it is usually directed at the real world examples of mail carriers...

    Haven’t missed the gym since Christmas. Is it necessary to have rest days if I’m doing PPL?
