Simultaneously solving the cosmological gravitino problem and invoking thermal leptogenesis creates a significant challenge for supersymmetric theories. The problem is tackled most directly by trying to find supersymmetric spectrum that maximises the reheating temperature. I report on work in that direction, and show its implications for model building and LHC expectations for supersymmetry.
