Re: stalling a bit on my presses...don\'t worry?
[ QUOTE ]
I had bought a kettlebell in the winter and from the end of February to beginning of May I was following Pavel's Enter the Kettbell Plan. Basically, ladders of Clean and Pressing and then swings or snatches depending on the day.
I made very good gains on that program, was able to clean and press a 1.5 pood (like 60ish pound?) kettlebell 4 times with my right and 3 times with my left arm.
Also I don't think nutrition is the problem. I have been getting 3500-4000 calories and 200+ grams of protein usually more on 95% of days and have gained about 5 pounds.

1.5 pood is 52.5 lb. I don't know what your fitness level was like prior to that but I'm honestly surprised you're not benching quite a bit more if you were doing ETK with the 1.5 pood. The carryover from overhead pressing to benching is usually pretty high. What made you decide to quit ETK and go to Starting Strength?
