There is a guy at my gym who insists on INTENSITY! in everything he does. The guy uses 15 pounds dbs for YTWLs... leaning on a stability ball... and he bounces them off the floor! Several of us have attempted to give him some advice about the point of the exercise, and the potential dangers... but he just... simply... loves... the INTENSITY! Hehe. (He actually emphasizes the damn word when he speaks, too.)
Sometimes you gotta just shrug and walk away.
That said, during my attempts to rehab my own upper back/shoulder issues, I did YTWLs 3 days in a row at one point, with 3 lbs. weights, one set of 15... and I felt it was overkill. A little too tight and sore. If that helps. (see Julie's comments about the use of weights or not)
