I can't remember the exact progression of weight and reps today, I failed alot. I got pretty comfortable at 135 today. I think next time I could start there and work up.
155 was what I ended up with. Started on 135 and added weight, took weight away, tried and failed a lot.
The thing I can't emphasize enough is that this lift is really as much technique as it is strength. For example, with 155 once I nailed it, it felt easy, but the 3 times before that, I might as well have been trying to throw 200lbs up because I was missing something on the form. I love this lift because it really requires you to think and overcome yourself.
