I want to start this thread by first saying thank you to everyone on this forum. I am fairly new around here but have been soaking up as much information as I can. This forum is pretty great.
One of the main issues I am having with my kettlebell training is that I have a noticeable upper body strength imbalance between my left and right side. This has become pretty apparent recently since entering the heavier weeks of ROP (24 kg. Currently on the 2 x 1,2,3,4,5; 3 x 1,2,3,4 week for my heavy days). On my big ladders, I am hitting some sticking points on my right side. On my left side, I am having no issues and the kettlebell is going up smoothly. I attribute this imbalance to my shoulder injury that I had in June. I have been medically cleared to lift since August, but it appears my right side is still playing catch up due to losing two months of training.
Are there any methods that have worked for correcting these imbalances? I just don't want to carry this strength imbalance forward when I begin working with heavier kettelbells for the military press. Thank you
