Hello, Have just finished Swing Sandwich program after @Steve Freides recommended I improve press ability.
Test Day revealed Dominant Arm (RH) much much stronger than Other Arm and much better improvement 64 yo 80kg male
Before Swing Sandwich Right 3 x 20kg Left 3 x 18kg
After Swing Sandwich Right 6 x 22kg Left 4 x 20kg (Left 22kg = dont even think about it)
Did some pullups & pushups to celebrate then tried both arms again on 20kg to compare with with LH
Comparison RH 8 x 20 LH 3 x 20
That is a huge difference in capacity and improvement, is that normal ? Will take some videos to see if obvious difference in technique LH to RH. Am doing the knees glutes abs tension, shoulder blades retracted toward buttocks, irradiation of the fists and cocking the hip.
I am very proud of my 22kg kettlebell = 20kg + 2 ankle straps on the horns - How do other people "cheat" their weights ?
I think 6 x 22kg "qualifies" me for a 24kg 1RM but am not tempted - would not want an out of control 24kg wobbling above my head.
