So my buddy and I started training a year ago, haven't stopped since. During that time, I made significant progress on the warmup jug, enough that it made me question if I was going too far. My buddy assured me as long as My shoulders are engaged, I'm must be making significant gains.Between the bucket and pack with weight, i think it's gotten a bit dangerous.

The warmup jug is for warming up. I don't see why it would be beneficial to continually add weight to that hold. Some alternatives would be to move to a smaller hold for more warming up or hanging from one arm at a time with the warmup jug.

Ahh, our interpretation of the book was "baseline" is essentially +/- whatever weight you can do... |

I don't think you're supposed to add much weight to the warmup. You're just supposed to get warm for the other grips. I think I added 10 lbs to a jug as a warm up back when I used it, but moved on to a large edge for warm up now with no weight. But wow that's a ton of weight!

I am impressed by whoever mounted you board! BW+210lbs?! I’m almost positive the board in my gym would come down before my feet came up. Lol

If your using a pack to hold your weight you may want to consider another method. Packs are pulling from a different place than weight hanging from a harness and it can effect the way you hold the grips and the way your shoulders are engaged.
