Press Pyramid Complex (5a)

After testing a double kettlebell press to begin “Total Tension” Kettlebell Complex, I did 10 reps using 24kgs and 3 reps with 32kgs. Since I don't have two 28kgs, I modified it to get 6-8 reps. So, I'll be using a 24kg and a 28kg while alternating sides every set. This is what I did today...

Warm-up:
OS-Big 5.

Press Pyramid:
24kg/28kg Clean + 1 Press + Squat + 1/1 Row,
28kg/24kg Clean + 2 Presses + Squat + 1/1 Row,
