The question: how does one keep the KB press "grooved" while training with another tool (in this case, a barbell).
Background: I am in the midst of a year of kettlebell training. When I finish in the fall, I will have been through the RoP (to five ladders of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 C&Ps) with 24 and 32k bells, and will ideally have completed the prescribed 14 weeks of the "total tension" complex with the 32s as well.
Then indoor track season starts, and I plan to use a minimalist barbell training template to allow for more sprint work. The particulars are not especially important, I don't think, but I will be bench pressing, front squatting and deadlifting.
After indoor track season ends in February, I plan to return to the KB, ideally to the RoP with a 40k bell, so back to the question at the beginning -- what is the best way to maintain that overhead kb efficiency and strength while training another way for awhile?
FWIW, my thought was to do one high-ish rep set of presses per arm with a single 32k bell on the days I bench, but that could be very, very wrong or counter-productive. Thoughts appreciated.
