tldr: Being humbled by heavy bell, requesting advice on clean and press regressions/remedial exercises
Hi, I've been doing the ROP for a while and have been really enjoying it. my snatches, cleans and presses and swings have been challenging but I felt like I progressed well in strength using a 16kg kettlebell. The problem here now is that I found a special on a 24kg kettlebell, traded in my 16kg and purchased it. It's a competition style bell compared to my massive plastic/concrete 16kg one so its smaller in size which is what I wanted . Turns out though that I was overconfident in my gains and am struggling with the 24kg bell. To address this I wanted to ask advice on what I could do to address my shoulder strength. In a perfect world I would just carry on with the ROP but I'm concerned about my mobility in my shoulder, particularly the left side. I currently do warmups with bands to prep for the actual work. Would doing Turkish getups or perhaps half-getups address my shoulder strength and mobility over time? Or should I stick to doing slow 1/2/3 ladders? Thanks in advance for any advice!
Notes: I no longer have the 16kg bell so I can't do the obvious thing and keep using that.
