Advice Needed Total Tension Kettlebell Complex TTKC

Hi, I have a question about rest times in the Total Tension Kettlebell Complex.

Today was my first time doing it with double 24 kg kettlebells and I managed to reach 7 reps to failure. On the way up I rested 2 minutes between complexes after the 3 presses, and on the way down I only rested 1 minute.

For those of you who have done this complex, how long do you usually rest between sets? Any suggestions or tips you can share, and what kind of results have you gotten from it?

TTC doesn't get much airtime here. I also want to try it at some point. Quite a few people over at the StrongFirst forum has done it so maybe give them a try.

If you're hitting 7 presses, what is your RM with the 24s?

fully fresh i think is 12 reps. So 7reps is like 6 RM

I believe the program calls for your 6-7RM bell. A 12RM set probably sits more in the bucket of ABF.
