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.

it's just you, depth still looks really good.

also i've been having some SI joint discomfort over the past few days, which i've forgotten to log. nothing serious right now but certainly something to monitor with the new low-back-centric exercises (deficit DLs, decline sit ups).

I had to look up the shrimp squat because I know you'd just rick roll me again and do the let me google that for you thing haha.  They look nice and I'll give them a try.

lol. i've been doing them as partials, to a box. gonna decrease the box height over time.

robotrip + squats = profit
