ultra-extreme depression

this is the heart of the matter. you need to take care of yourself, and first and foremost that means getting help for your depression. whatever that means for you, focus on that for a while. that can be borderline-useless advice for a depressed person, i know, but it's the best advice i can think to give. training will still be there.

what is your goal?

I like to push the envelope, so I have tested as much as 16%....    Although I think percent is far less important than adaptation.  If you add a 5-10lb vest and cant jump within am inch or 2 of PR you have too much weight.

interesting statement. i have gotten within 1-2" of my PR for SVJ with a 10lb vest on, but i don't think i could get that close to my RVJ PR.
