Even drilling movements with a lighter weight than your working weight can be fun while still providing a good session. I've never been a fan of heavy weights sessions. Trying to lift this weight or that weight has never been high on my list compared to moving my own bodyweight. However, there is always something to be had for performing the movements you don't necessarily favour.
