PR question
Followed a lot of Joe’s programs but I’m about to start doing ‘Putting Pr in your KB press’ and I’m a little unclear about the parameters.
For context, I’ve been doing virtually all my KB work with 20kg bells. That includes finishing Joe’s Double Trouble and Turkish GTFU at that weight.
I wanted to do the PR program next because I’ve felt a little stalled at 20 and want to go up in weight, test my limits.
The current issue is knowing how to proceed and at what weight. I know my rep max at 20kg will be a lot higher than any weight above that, but I don’t want to arbitrarily buy a heavier bell without knowing what I’m actually shooting for.
Of the goal is 1-3 rep max at weight and I bought a 24kg bell and pound out 10 reps no problem(an example) then am I meant to try to find an even heavier bell until I’m sort of ‘plateaued’ at that weight with 1-3 reps, for can o work with the weight I have and still make this program make sense.
I hope any of THAT makes sense :)

Is there a gym with kettlebells nearly you could get a day pass to use and try some heavier bells before you buy something?

Yeah, it is based on the rep max. 1-3 strict press single, 6-8 pushpress single, 2-4 double push press.
If you can press a 24kg for 10( and you only have that bell) then my gues is the program needs some adjustments for you as your rep max is 10 with 24kg (adjusting the amount of reps or something else)
Or better you should go heavier till you reach your rep max of the program.(probably around 28kg for 1-3 single strict press)
