Hello,
Recently, I have played a lot with Red Zone, with the 24kg bell. I surprised myself with 2 things:
- The 24kg went from a solid 5RM to a solid 10RM
- I passed Timeless with the 36kg, which is some sort of PR.
However, when I first tried to do Red Zone, there was not "that much" transfer from 32kg TGU to "high rep" 24kg press. The other way around is different. It easily maintains 32kg TGU and even made it stronger.
This was the first thing I wanted to share. Do not misunderstand me, S&S remains a wonderful programme !
Regularly, I see that S&S drastically helps to increase the press. Is there a "threshold" (basically beyond Simple or even 36kg) to see that happening ? What I am trying to say is that it seems (at least for my body) that up to Simple, a press programme seems to deliver more strength.
Kind regards,
Pet'
