Return of the Press

I don't press too much. I prefer the Clean & Jerk, but every time I use a 24 Kg kbell something in my right knee feels weak. I gut it out and put the burden of the move on the left leg. This may not be a good idea.
So instead of the clean & jerk - I'm going the the "simple press". No weird feeling in the knee. I forgot how hard presses are. You don't have that initial push of the jerk to get the bell up, you have to use your strength - to get the bell up. My technique needs a little work...

i also hate the press. it's why it's my weakest link and i ahve been doing these pressing ladders for 3 weeks now. making progres. my left side is WEAK side and I can get the 24KG up unassisted now. 32KG is goal by end of august.

charley allen dropped me a line. planning something for march 29th. check his blog for details.
