I would love to see a video laying out your recommended "progressions" for the six basic KB movement families. Like you did with single arm clubs, where inside circle, outside circle, shield cast becomes inside pendulum, outside pendulum, 180 rotating pullover, etc.
This helps me get perspective on my own timeline. I definitely fall for the Russian "you're not a man if you can't press 32k" trap. I guess I'll just be a boy into my 40s.
It's definitely helpful to get these overarching "explainer" videos here and there to help make sense of how to connect the dots on our own and get more out of the movement tutorials. Some of the nerd math videos get into these concepts too but they tend to be more contextual.
I have a 16K kettlebell and decided to get the 12K for my second bell instead of the next heavier 20K and do more interval training for 2021. I want to work on my technique for the core exercises.
Very smart! I was using 8kg clubs and whilst I still use them for swings, I'd rather use my 4kg and 6kg for most other movements. The joint structure takes a lot longer to strengthen and adapt than the muscle structures
Absolutelty correct, just aiming to get a 12k kettlebell, my gf has a 8k that seems to be a little too light but 16k is just too much for any TUT I can do probably because it's nearly a quarter of my bodyweight xD. Getting healthy developed ligaments and joint structures must be the focus :). Cheers
I did the exact same thing. I had a 16kg and 24kg and it was OK but I wasn't doing super well with the overhead press with 16kg. I got a 12kg and after doing overhead presses with that for a while, I was able to do it with more focus on technique and more focus on pressing with the shoulder and not using my legs as much. Just that little boost got me able to strict press my 16 kg and now I'm working up to doing clean and jerks with the 24 kg.
cool video, thanks Mark for your awsome content! personally i went back in weight und tend to work out more dynamic, more playful and under longer periods of tension. it has made wonders for me. no clock, no fixed set of reps, just listening to my body and stopping when the muscles start to hurt. rinse and repeat the next day. never felt better, love it!
Fascinating thank you so much, only recently come across your stuff. I've done kettlebell courses when I was working as a pt in a gym but the realisation is you can go so far without all the fancy execises/workout programmes. As with weights I've always loved the basics, bench. press, squat, deadlift, press so with KB's the primary 6 movements plus maybe a walking variation accomplishes so much. Regards from England 👍🏴
TUT talk for men in particular was a huge relief since right now 2x12kgs are all I have and I’ve been feeling really sad about it. Great to learn I can make something tangible and make gains out of them. Will be looking forward for videos to come, thanks!
Happy new year! Thanks a lot for all the info at each video. My snatch technique has improved a lot! I do not hurt my arms anymore. Looking forward for TUT videos! Greetings and love
Thank you. Clearly defined. Descriptive. Informative. And highly prescriptive. I’m exploring further where my body (and mind) progresses following your principles of TUT. Incredibly challenging. But immensely rewarding. You are a wonderful discovery.
It's just so awesome that you can work with one weight and extract so much benefit over a number of months and years. The bell is simply the best workout in existence.
Hey Mark, can't wait to see your TUT content! I've got the Kettlebell Kings adjustable comp bell coming in the mail, it can hit any weight between 12-32kg except for 13kg and 31kg. I hope it works well as it will be perfect for applying your methods to. Can't wait for the app!
Absolutely superb logical advise for training with TUT in Kettlebell. I have been training Kettlebell for a few years now and tend to prefer a 16kg for 1 minute on 30 secs off x10 than doing sets with a 24kg bell. I am 52 years old so the TUT flows suit recover much better than heavier bells.
Great video, Mark! I recently pressed the 40kg for the first time but want to find ways to incorporate more moderate-weight work before springing for a 44kg. Just doubled up my 16kg and 24kg bells and look forward to seeing the TUT content you put out!
I can 2H swing my 48kg but apart from doing some 1H cleans, I can't imagine doing much else besides a front squat or goblet squat. The fact that people can work with doubles or even heavier is insane.
for a few weeks now been using 12k for my physical rehab and been using keith webbers extreme cariod kettlebell workout, as for techiniques i used skogg to teach me how to use kettlebells all over again, used to use these as a kid (37) now. so far been able to go above 30-40 mins of workout with out feeling faint and not too tired, but that is spread over the day at times. Still having trouble with TGU and windmills.
Another great video spot on technical analysis ... Since implementing KBs at age 50 about 8 years ago I have migrated to Heavy KBs 32kg to 44kg, however as I age I derive the most benefits from "TUT" time under tension training principle (40 to 60 lbs) Recently getting 50 TGUs in 25 minutes with 24kg.
great video Mark! It's really helpfull to have a kind of map for the 2021! I've had learned everything that I know from you and I'll be always gratefull for that. If once you come to Argentina I'll invite you a ASADO! I hope you have a great 2021!
I am two and half years into training kettlebells almost every day, and I can honestly at this point add one suggestion to people starting out. You may well find that a few years on, you’d really like to focus on Olympic style lifts. I would suggest learning things like squat snatches and double split jerks once your snatches and jerks are solid. If you love that kind of movement pattern, start transitioning some of your front rack squats to overhead squats in order to compliment the squat snatches. Start getting the heavier competition bells. Basically, bilateral Olympic lifting for volume. You can augment with kettlebell sport training for even more volume and endurance work. It’s pretty far off from what Mark talks about, but I think this is legitimate pathway that might work best going OHS as early as possible.
Hi Mark, thanks for the content. This one of my preferred channels on ketlebelling. I really would like to hear your thought on Pavel Tatsouline's Simple and Sinister program. He advocates for doing just swings and Turkish Get Ups on constant weight training regime. I started Ketlebelling based on this idea, and so I bought one 16kg and one 24kg bells. I'm not doing his program as it is, because a have a rower and twice a week I row and do some body weight, like basic push-ups and pull-ups, exercises instead. I kind of mimic a crossfit session training by taking a 10 minute, from the usually 40min long session, to experiment with non Simple and Sinister stuff like clean and press, Pavel advises not to introduce them for volume before you can complete the program. Anyway, thank you for the great content in the channel
Perfect my dude, I'm definitely gunning for time under tension with good form and enough flow to stay interesting and mitigate repetitive stress. Left knee for me - for starters. Hey! What happened to the headlamp? I thought you knew what you were doing! Nah, worked organic farms - lots of potatos and snap peas - gotta get rhythm and jam with both hands but be with it enough to roll out of the tractors way! Here's to 2021 or something.
Of course then I made the mistake of getting a degree because barrier of entry coasts to purchase good land was too high... whoops! There went any physique.
I’m starting off at lower weight to balance out my weak and strong side, and to fix all of my bad habits that messed certain parts of my body, and then after that, I’m going to jack up the weight to achieve my goals.
Is this going to be a whole new kettlebell series?? I'm getting ready to buy 5 to 6 from Kettlebell Kings based off your recommendations from the other videos. This is incredible information already! Thank you a ton.
I have said this before, Mark, my dude, but my body has transformed over the past year during lockdown under your tutelage. "Getting out of the gym," training outside, barefoot, it's been a game changer. Thank you so much bro. P.s. And when I heard you say (way back in march) that this is 1.5yr of training easily, it ain't a joke. I've been on it for 9 months now and am only a fraction of the way through all the movements I want to be proficient.
Its been exactly the same for me too! Totally agree your videos have been a game changer. Specially advice on different techniques for progression and programming has been so helpful in lock down. The tetris / nerd math has helped create a plan that fits into my schedule, keeps me challenged and has made a huge difference. Thanks so much!
Great video, exactly what I was looking for - what's the overall plan. I'm at 28/32 kg with swings, TGU, clean & press, can do 28 with snatches but they feel rough so I'm staying at 24 for a while. I've been training with KB for, I'd say almost a year. Once I feel confident with all the moves I'm doing "time under tension", mixed in with some heavy KB.
Great stuff ! I actually got my hands on a 16k bell which is hollow, with the option of adding up to four 2k plates inside, so gradually going all the way up to 24. Pretty nifty =)
@@MarkWildman Bought it from a french website, here's a link, though it looks like they're out of stock at the moment : www.gorillasports.fr/functional-training/kettlebells/kettlebell-reglable-de-8kg-a-16kg-et-16kg-a-24kg
I started at 10lb to 12.5 lb(wrist weights) to 13.2lb(6K). Swing has been 25lb. After 2 years I am just staring to increase that. High rep and focus on great form. 40 - 120 min time frames with some Yoga. . I’m not really big, but I feel and look great at 61.
Hello Mark, what's the logic behind different type of progression for different exercises? For snatches it's volume cycles followed by density cycles, for clean and press it's reverse ladder to increase time under tension combined with volume cycle, for squats it's only volume cycles, for swings it's fixed 10-minute E.M.O.M with repetition progression. It seems like you are recommending different progression for all of these. Is there a reason?
A couple of those that you mentioned you can actually mix and match the different types of progressions that Mark uses, depending on what your training goals are. The progressions he has listed for each specific kettlebell fundamental movement is what he has found works best for most people during Mark's many years as a coach.
Hey Mark, I'm relatively new to the kb adventure so concentrating on reaching 10x20 with a 16kg at the moment. I find your youtube output inspirational, particularly the TUT endurance aspect. You mentioned you're up to 52m on your light days. Do you mind if I ask what weight that is with? I assume swings? Thanks for all your guidance. And free too, pretty cool in my book. Thanks from the UK. Rob
It's interesting to se that you're not pushing super heavy weights for strength. If I go for 5 reps of 16K squats, I don't feel that I push myself. I go 5sets of 10 rep 16K with 30" rest, and at the 8-10 I feel the defficulty (I don't cheat the form of depth).. I'd like to know your opinion on the way I have been training so far. Thanks
I have a 56kg kB from Rogue. It’s a proper lump. I use it for swings, goblet squats and deadlifts with a band added for extra difficulty. I should have bought 2 32s instead.
I can’t imagine trying to get that monster to ever head lockout. I hear there is a kb coming from Seattle kb club in 2021 that will have completion dynamics in the heavier weights
@@MarkWildman I’ve tried and so far I can’t manage it. It’s very unwieldy I can’t get it onto my shoulder quite easily but then it’s how to hold the thing to press. Having smaller heavier kettlebells can only be a good thing. Q. Are you ever going to bring a full program out for sale. I’d be very interested in buying one from you. The content is fantastic btw. Steve UK.
I’m trying. It’s in the hands of the app developer. Currently they are working on getting the 7 level 2 hand club program to function. Once that happens. We will move to basics of kb. Then back to single arm club. I’ve got about 6 years of programming written. It’s just the matter of production
It's interesting that I recently came across another KB intro series ( Lebe Stark) that goes with TUT right away. 2 minute each goblet squat, deadlift, and press. 1 min break, repeat 2-4 times. I guess you'd increase weight once you find 3-4 sets too easy. Personally, the volume based nerd math approach seems better suited for me and what I'm using.
Happy New Year Mark. What do you think about the dial-in (adjustable) kettlebells? I use dial in dumbbells from two manufacturers and the design on one (Hoist) are pretty close to traditional dumbbell design. The Power block is a little more awkward. manufacturers, kettlebell
@@MarkWildman Wow, Thanks! Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Weight (available at Amazon); Apex Adjustable Heavy-Duty Exercise Kettlebell Weight Set(From Walmart). I really appreciate it. What was the American company whose kettle bells you featured?
I know you briefly touched on heavy clubs some nerd math videos back, but would one basically follow a similar bath for clubs? Volume then either weight increase or TUT?
I asked something similar on another video. He said light weights for time, heavy weights for reps for both 1 and 2 handed days. If you only have 1 club, let’s say a 15, you can do 2H for time and 1H for reps since the 1H should be a lot harder and it will “feel” like a heavier weight. Then go to the next club size when you feel ready.
Don’t wear them if it’s not freezing. They mess up how your grip functions over time. Your hands evolved without gloves so they will survive if treated properly
Hello Mark, when I pull up my quads my knees hurt during the swing, clean & press, and military press. Can you make a video addressing this issue when tightening quads, during the planking point of the swing?
Medial because my are knees hyperextending when I tighten up my quads to create that plank. My feet position is slightly turned out ;however, I did experiment with my feet being pointed straight ahead and I am still experiencing pain in the middle part of my knee. Hopefully that made sense to some degree.
Mark TUT do you put kettlebell flows into this category. I’ve been doing kettlebell for some time. I’m 52 years old. I do a 20kg kettlebell flow for 1min and skipping for 1min lasting 30min of work. Would you consider this a TUT workout. I feel as fit as I’ve ever been using kettlebells. Please keep inspiring others. 👍👍
Also if you think of a blacksmith using a hammer. TUT from repetitive work creates strong muscle some as kettlebell flow. Would you agree or am I barking up wrong tree 🌲
You could keep track with excel spreadsheet or note book 🤔 don't make my mistake and use chalk on pavement. My kids washed it off and I lost 2mths training notes 😂😂😭😭
@@MarkWildman sorry, poorly worded question.... how do you program that? Is it a double swing to 20 reps emom, then single swing to 20 reps emom, and you just have a light day heavy day? So, if I'm going from 10 reps to 20, I have a 10 week program with double and then a 10 week with single, then increase weights? Can heavy days progress at the same pace as light days?
I started dumb. Bought a 20kg bell, then did a straight jump to 32kg. Bad progression, but have now moved to adding complexity. Transitions, inside/outside cleans, combining lifts for complexes etc. I'm wondering if it makes sense to go heavier on the basic lifts next, to build a better base for skills work, or to just keep adding complexity?
I've been doing KB for almost a year now and TGUs at 16K are still hard for 3 reps per side, while Clean and Press at 16K is not really a problem. Same for swings at 16k 20 reps, etc. Just wondering does this show a big imbalance that I cant do more reps of TGUs at higher volume ?
That may well be the case. Similar for me, I can clean a lot more than I can press. It's not necessarily a bad thing, it just shows we have to do our homework on certain patterns
Mark, I can't believe this. U r the coolest American since, well ther were some, Elvis mark twain jimi hendricks, jim morison, and the likes,.... no yelling no mouth gymnastics no stressing the point, no very good questions no thank u for having me no pls subscribe. Thank you!!
I'm doing 18kg kettlebell. 30 swings 15 single arm swings 30 figure 8 uppercut 10 each arm snatch and 10 global squats. 3 sets in 20 mins. 360 reps in the workout, 3 days a week. Is this enough or am I doing too much?
Is there any chance that you could make some follow along work out videos? It would really help to clarify things for a 60 year old post- like me. Thanks for everything Mark. 2020 became the year of the kettle bell for me.
I’ve been avoiding that because I’ve been encouraging people to understand program design but perhaps your are correct. And I can do that now and explain the program design
What’s your view on the adjustable competition kettlebells that go up to 32kg? False economy or good step if I’m looking to go forward from my single 16kg? Alternative is to get a hard style 20kg

Those videos exist... I learned the TGU from Mark. And the swing, and the deck squat. I don't know that he's tied them all together though.
I'm trying to find small pieces of info on progression in all of his videos.... its hard
The fact your in a horse barn increases the coolness of the video. Really love your stuff.
He makes every background cooler.
Let's just face it The guy is cool all the way around in fact I think he was born with Jack Nicholson sunglasses on 😎
This helps me get perspective on my own timeline. I definitely fall for the Russian "you're not a man if you can't press 32k" trap. I guess I'll just be a boy into my 40s.
Saw your name in the WW84 credits! 🤩
Nice. Still gotta watch it
It's definitely helpful to get these overarching "explainer" videos here and there to help make sense of how to connect the dots on our own and get more out of the movement tutorials. Some of the nerd math videos get into these concepts too but they tend to be more contextual.

It seems like you are recommending different progression for all of these. Is there a reason?
I've been thinking about this too?
I would also like to see your response here Mark
A couple of those that you mentioned you can actually mix and match the different types of progressions that Mark uses, depending on what your training goals are. The progressions he has listed for each specific kettlebell fundamental movement is what he has found works best for most people during Mark's many years as a coach.

Something tells me the app will make all of this a lot more clear.
Hey Mark, I'm relatively new to the kb adventure so concentrating on reaching 10x20 with a 16kg at the moment. I find your youtube output inspirational, particularly the TUT endurance aspect. You mentioned you're up to 52m on your light days. Do you mind if I ask what weight that is with? I assume swings?
Thanks for all your guidance. And free too, pretty cool in my book.
Thanks from the UK.

It's interesting to se that you're not pushing super heavy weights for strength. If I go for 5 reps of 16K squats, I don't feel that I push myself. I go 5sets of 10 rep 16K with 30" rest, and at the 8-10 I feel the defficulty (I don't cheat the form of depth).. I'd like to know your opinion on the way I have been training so far. Thanks

You had me at sidewalk chalk
It’s my niece’s. I looooove a good piece of chalk
I have a 56kg kB from Rogue. It’s a proper lump. I use it for swings, goblet squats and deadlifts with a band added for extra difficulty. I should have bought 2 32s instead.
I can’t imagine trying to get that monster to ever head lockout. I hear there is a kb coming from Seattle kb club in 2021 that will have completion dynamics in the heavier weights
@@MarkWildman I’ve tried and so far I can’t manage it. It’s very unwieldy I can’t get it onto my shoulder quite easily but then it’s how to hold the thing to press. Having smaller heavier kettlebells can only be a good thing. Q. Are you ever going to bring a full program out for sale. I’d be very interested in buying one from you. The content is fantastic btw. Steve UK.
I’m trying. It’s in the hands of the app developer. Currently they are working on getting the 7 level 2 hand club program to function. Once that happens. We will move to basics of kb. Then back to single arm club. I’ve got about 6 years of programming written. It’s just the matter of production
@@MarkWildman good luck with that Mark. I look forward to it
Unless you are competing, there is no need to go beyond 32 kg weight. Concentrate on learning new Kettlebell movements.
You could use magnetic weight to reduce increments...:)
Writing with chalk is the most satisfying
I sgree
Happy New Year! Great vid! When does the app make its appearance in the wild?
When it works. Still waiting on a few things. Holidays have slowed it
@@MarkWildman Makes sense. No worries. Be well & thanks for the reply!
It's interesting that I recently came across another KB intro series (
Lebe Stark) that goes with TUT right away. 2 minute each goblet squat, deadlift, and press. 1 min break, repeat 2-4 times. I guess you'd increase weight once you find 3-4 sets too easy. Personally, the volume based nerd math approach seems better suited for me and what I'm using.
Happy New Year Mark. What do you think about the dial-in (adjustable) kettlebells? I use dial in dumbbells from two manufacturers and the design on one (Hoist) are pretty close to traditional dumbbell design. The Power block is a little more awkward.
manufacturers,
kettlebell
What brand are you looking at. I’ll look them up
@@MarkWildman Wow, Thanks! Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Weight (available at Amazon); Apex Adjustable Heavy-Duty Exercise Kettlebell Weight Set(From Walmart). I really appreciate it. What was the American company whose kettle bells you featured?
USA iron
@@MarkWildman Thanks again. And thanks for the tremendous teaching you are putting out on RUclips.
I know you briefly touched on heavy clubs some nerd math videos back, but would one basically follow a similar bath for clubs? Volume then either weight increase or TUT?
I asked something similar on another video. He said light weights for time, heavy weights for reps for both 1 and 2 handed days. If you only have 1 club, let’s say a 15, you can do 2H for time and 1H for reps since the 1H should be a lot harder and it will “feel” like a heavier weight. Then go to the next club size when you feel ready.
@@c4ffeineaddict thanks friend!
C4ffeine gets it.
What is your opinion on grip strength when using gloves? Does it improve your grip strength? Any thoughts? I have never seen you wear any gloves
Don’t wear them if it’s not freezing. They mess up how your grip functions over time. Your hands evolved without gloves so they will survive if treated properly
Hello Mark, when I pull up my quads my knees hurt during the swing, clean & press, and military press. Can you make a video addressing this issue when tightening quads, during the planking point of the swing?
Proper feet stance? Straight or lightly turned out? Where does it hurt, inside, outside, both knees?
You are going to have to be more specific with “knees hurt”.... how, where. Inside, medial, lateral, posterior?
Medial because my are knees hyperextending when I tighten up my quads to create that plank. My feet position is slightly turned out ;however, I did experiment with my feet being pointed straight ahead and I am still experiencing pain in the middle part of my knee. Hopefully that made sense to some degree.
Any chance you can post a basic TUT workout you might do? Like, do you stick to one movement for the whole time or do you change it up?
That will be a few videos
Thanks for this. Looking to tone up, not kill myself! So this is perfect.
Mark TUT do you put kettlebell flows into this category. I’ve been doing kettlebell for some time. I’m 52 years old. I do a 20kg kettlebell flow for 1min and skipping for 1min lasting 30min of work. Would you consider this a TUT workout. I feel as fit as I’ve ever been using kettlebells. Please keep inspiring others. 👍👍
Yes
Thank you
I believe eugen shandow Victorian bodybuilder used TUT to get a physic
Also if you think of a blacksmith using a hammer. TUT from repetitive work creates strong muscle some as kettlebell flow. Would you agree or am I barking up wrong tree 🌲
You are correct
How do you keep track of light/heavy and single arm/double arm swings in a week while still progressing?
You could keep track with excel spreadsheet or note book 🤔 don't make my mistake and use chalk on pavement. My kids washed it off and I lost 2mths training notes 😂😂😭😭
Old school notebook
@@MarkWildman sorry, poorly worded question.... how do you program that? Is it a double swing to 20 reps emom, then single swing to 20 reps emom, and you just have a light day heavy day? So, if I'm going from 10 reps to 20, I have a 10 week program with double and then a 10 week with single, then increase weights? Can heavy days progress at the same pace as light days?
Also. Thanks for your videos. This stuff is gold and I really appreciate it.
I started dumb. Bought a 20kg bell, then did a straight jump to 32kg. Bad progression, but have now moved to adding complexity. Transitions, inside/outside cleans, combining lifts for complexes etc. I'm wondering if it makes sense to go heavier on the basic lifts next, to build a better base for skills work, or to just keep adding complexity?
Both. You just recreated a more complex heavy light strategy
@@MarkWildman gotcha! thanks :D
I've been doing KB for almost a year now and TGUs at 16K are still hard for 3 reps per side, while Clean and Press at 16K is not really a problem. Same for swings at 16k 20 reps, etc. Just wondering does this show a big imbalance that I cant do more reps of TGUs at higher volume ?
That may well be the case. Similar for me, I can clean a lot more than I can press. It's not necessarily a bad thing, it just shows we have to do our homework on certain patterns
You deserve more subscriptions than you have.
Mark, I can't believe this. U r the coolest American since, well ther were some, Elvis mark twain jimi hendricks, jim morison, and the likes,.... no yelling no mouth gymnastics no stressing the point, no very good questions no thank u for having me no pls subscribe. Thank you!!
I'm doing 18kg kettlebell. 30 swings 15 single arm swings 30 figure 8 uppercut 10 each arm snatch and 10 global squats. 3 sets in 20 mins. 360 reps in the workout, 3 days a week. Is this enough or am I doing too much?
Is a set of 20 swings 20 each side or 10 each side totalling 20?
Are you back home on the farm?
Is there any chance that you could make some follow along work out videos? It would really help to clarify things for a 60 year old post- like me.
Thanks for everything Mark. 2020 became the year of the kettle bell for me.
I’ve been avoiding that because I’ve been encouraging people to understand program design but perhaps your are correct. And I can do that now and explain the program design
That women's KG weight jumps line is gunna be money. *looks at watch*
Seems like an easy problem for a company with manufacturing capacity to solve
But no one has solved it so.... who knows
What’s your view on the adjustable competition kettlebells that go up to 32kg? False economy or good step if I’m looking to go forward from my single 16kg? Alternative is to get a hard style 20kg
I've heard good things about the 32kg adjustable kettlebell I'm getting one asap.
I really want 2 to try out. I hear good things.
