How do you guys determine your baseline for max ladders? I don't have the book in front of me but I don't remember a set guideline. The most common example of a baseline is 1-3-5. But if I can start and go to 1-4 but can't pull through, so I'd be a 1-4-4 is that my baseline?
Basically I'm trying to determine if my baseline starts with how far I can throw with the first move? I'm not sure how else to determine it.
I haven't seen a similar question in the power forum so if I missed it please refer me.

I don't believe your max ladder should start with your max throw. It seems like if the first move is your absolute max you probably can't ladder past that. Do you have half rungs? Maybe you could try 1-3.5-5 or something. If not you could do 1-3-5, or if that's too easy try 1-3-6. It depends on your strengths as well, for example I can make a really long first reach but I'm terrible at generating momentum from that position for the next move, so my max ladders tend to have a longer first move to work on that weakness.

You should be primarily focusing on "symmetric" ladders, where the distance between the first two rungs and the second two rungs is as close to equal as possible.

The further you get from a symmetric ladder, the less you are isolating an individual hand/arm, and the more it turns into a two-arm pull-up. More symmetric ladders seem to be harder too, probably because of the first reason.

Makes sense, thanks. Kinda obvious in retrospect I guess but not obvious enough for me to realize it apparently.
