    Weight increase?

    I finished 10 weeks of Wildmans pu/swings/tgu and squats/c&p using heavy/ light. My light bell was 20lbs and my heavy 14kg. I just got an adjustable BoS and am waiting for the 2nd to arrive. I'm fine to nerdmath it out and start with 5-6 rounds. What would a good jump be for light and heavy...
