Just to be clear - I do the 70%, then the 75%, then the 80% for one set, then take the weight back down to 70% and start over.

Greg,
Your advice/help to alleviate the pain caused by pattelar tendonitis is priceless. I'm religiously following what you recommended and the pain has subsided immensely. The difference is night and day. I really can't thank you enough after visits to the doctor, PT came up short. It's the first time in months that I can climb up stairs without significant discomfort.
My brother in India has similar symptoms and I have passed on your advice.
Again, thanks a ton and I can only wish the very best to you!

Not sure how to choose load for the Jerk Rack Supports tomorrow (from the desc., sounds like I I should just load up *way* more than I know I can jerk, just to get the feels of it)...Any guidance?

Start with 100% of your best jerk and work up from there. Go as heavy as you can for the prescribed time without losing your structure and passing out.

Made a huge mistake. Used 1rm clean instead of 1rm clean and jerk. Couldn't figure out why weights felt so heavy. Oh well.
