More if strong, at athlete’s discretion
— in season, tournament - once a week at 5 week volume (10 reps each arm , 2 sets)
— one simulation move is one spike equivalent move — start with arm in down position — with
elbow straight slowly and deliberately move arm straight upward to peak height, then slowly
