Looking at the results from previous weeks, I can see modest progress in all exercises.
One of the days prescribed 3 reps per set of clean+press. On the 2nd or 3rd set, I was unable to do 3 consecutive reps with my weaker arm. I paused, shook my body fast-and-loose style and exhaled smoothly to calm down; then completed the set. I think my struggle was caused by rushing the movement. So for my last 2 sets, I took the time to let the kettlebell settle into the rack position, and then pressed it up. When we practice the KB press, we are not just applying brute force from the muscles to press up the KB - we also search for the perfect movement path for the KB. Rushing the movement, so that the KB almost skips the rack position, can somehow mess up that path. Hopefully the solution of pausing the KB in the rack position for at least a second before pressing, will still work the next time the program asks me to do 3-rep sets.
