Press to squat ratio?
I was wondering what the right balance of 2KB presses to 2KB front squats with a given pair of kettlebells should be to have balanced strength. The reason I'm asking is that the heaviest pair of doubles I have are 24kg and I want to identify weaknesses/imbalances. When I first started front squatting with them, my quads felt like they were beaten with a baseball bat the next day. And that was after 5 singles. Embarrassing, I know. Anyways, I got better at them, but can still only do a rep or 2 more than my press. (Yes, I used to be able to press more than I front squatted, haha)
Side reference: Currently working on S&S and a "light" version of TTC.
TTC light really helped my 1H SW, couldn't get past 1 set of 32kg before I started. TGU developed much faster on its own, but still became easier after starting TTC light.
For example, if one can military press a pair 7 times (clean and stopping short of failure) how many front squats would be comparable with the same bells to have balanced strength? What about other doubles drills, like renegade rows, double swings, double snatches?
