This is a superb tutorial. Clear, simple, precise, and accessible. In fact, describing it as “superb” is an understatement - a brilliant tutorial is more accurate.
Very helpful. I'd been doing the windmill incorrectly, like a triangle pose. I have no problem with triangle pose in yoga, but it felt off doing a windmill with KBs like that (as instructed elsewhere on YT) I couldn't pin point exactly how to correct the imbalance that I felt on my own. It was great to see how rotating the joints and shifting body weight appropriately can make a huge difference. Going to checkout this book now (I have the Steel Mace one) Thank you
That slight rotation with weight is my bugger. Then when I have the left leg on knee? My hamstring objects! Oh well, practice, practice, practice. And adapt.
for the life of me I cannot figure out what he's doing in 3:18 that is different from 3:40. I can see variation in chest rotation and shoulder collapsing but hip position and heel pressure? I feel/see nothing...
Damn! Seek and he shall find. I’ve been struggling with this big time. I downhill mountain bike and this is a good exercise. This guy is amazing. So glad this popped in my feed. I feel like I should Venmo him some serious $$$$😂
You mean the bent press? No, it does not. David Whitely has a great book on that here if you’re interested specifically in that: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00X7UUXJ8/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=
great video, Love how you brought in the idea that it's not a yoga pose....what I would say is that most people are also doing triangle wrong (due to lack of hip and hamstring mobility) you shouldn't be laterally flexing in the spine during triangle either.
I've used kettlebells before I loved them! But only basic movements were taught. As they were used as part of warm ups. I found out the hard way Keith Webber doesn't teach technique. Thank you for making this video so buying his workout routines wasn't a waste.
jesus christ this move is so challenging, i feel like my proprioception is nowhere near enough to do it, even tho i was doing some training since adolescence. Kneeling version is of much help.
Ya, I have majority of my clients do the open kneeling version because the hips are in a more mobile position and I do it all the time with KB get ups as well. I got admit after being a KB coach for over a decade…I don’t care for the standing version that much either. Lol I mainly do them after heavy squats to get my hamstrings and lats lengthened back out again.
Trust me, I don’t care for the standing version having SI hip joint issues in the past (hence why the banded version works great). It requires alot of flexibility and strength. Many of my clients are most comfortable with the Open Kneeling windmill (as shown in the start of this video) and there’s nothing wrong with that.
@@CoachVikingVaughn Thank you for the comforting words and motivation. I tried it today using the kneeling position while watching your video. It feels great. Such a relief on my lower back.

The kneeling position is super effective! Thank you so much! I never felt any effort with the standing Windmill version.
This is a superb tutorial. Clear, simple, precise, and accessible. In fact, describing it as “superb” is an understatement - a brilliant tutorial is more accurate.
Thanks a lot for the kind words James. Will be sure to put out more 👍

Thanks Liz, glad that helped and hope you love the books 👍
I knew my windmill was wrong.I just couldn't figure out what was wrong.
That slight rotation with weight is my bugger. Then when I have the left leg on knee? My hamstring objects! Oh well, practice, practice, practice. And adapt.
This was great thank you 🙏
Excellent!
Thank you! Now I get it...
Awesome, thanks
1:28 when you kneeling you hinge right hip , does 2:57 standing ver. is the same? use right hip to hinge?
for the life of me I cannot figure out what he's doing in 3:18 that is different from 3:40. I can see variation in chest rotation and shoulder collapsing but hip position and heel pressure? I feel/see nothing...
The difference is one hinges at the hip and the other bends in the low back.

Just subscribing and liking the videos helps 👍
Does your book include the windmill press also ?

Thanks…yeah it’s unfortunately very common sight when I go to other gyms.
I love your mace book, I can’t wait to get your KB book!

I don’t even know who that is, but I looked him up and his technique is horrendous. Lol
But glad this helped 👍

What parts of the body is this working on?
Primarily the obliques and glutes, but is also great for shoulder stability and hamstring flexibility…..so everything.
I need visuals . I wish you had videos.
Uh? Did you hit the play button?
@@CoachVikingVaughn uh, yeah I like I did. I was referring to a longer form video.
So confusing, I keep bending :/ I'm just gonna skip it.
