Mark, your instruction to detail on movements and you're knowledge of mistakes that "beginners" will make, make these videos SUPER instructional. The way you explain every single complicated excercise and break them down into individual movements and steps is very easy to follow and understand. Mastering these techniques with your videos make you the number resource in the "how to train with excellent technique without breaking your back" reference! Because of you i now own all 3 tools! Kettlebell, mace and club. Keep them comming!
Update: watch your wrist and volume at first. I got mommy's thumb when my son was born and started using clubs. I did a bunch of yoga and feel better. I bought 5 lbs and will work back up to the 10lbs I originally used.
I have always enjoyed your clarity and the abundance of info you provide in your videos and yet this one I guess hit me with what I needed at the moment. This will improve all the other squats which will improve all throwing patterns and basic human attributes. This is a treasure trove at the level of regaining basic healthy movement! Good stuff. Thank you Mark !
I understand squeezing the quads to "pull up the kneecaps" and squeezing glutes to protect the back. Do you have a different cue for muscle firing to "drive the ribcage down"? Thanks for the great content and instructions!
I notice a really good burn in the tib anteriors when doing this in the bottom position , heels to the ground without falling back. lol this is great 🤘🏻
Great instructions. As an aside, I'm reminded of the original Karate Kid movie and the training scene on the boat where Daniel is practicing his arm movements. I would like to try to swing a club on a boat and getting an intuitive feel for how hard it'd be to not fall into the water.
Have you tried Stand Up Paddleboarding? I reckon starting there with using only the paddle might keep you a little dryer and also they float when you fall in and drop it 🛶
Mark / others, you mentioned in a previous video that going up in weight [e.g. basis of strength program ] allows athletes to then use lighter weights for long cycles, breaking away from the 30:30 TUT protocol [ e.g. in the mill/squat program] Considering that with the adex going to 50lbs+ anyone could happily mosey along just doing that 30:30 as written. Are there plans for a series or program add-on to cover this idea of introducing a side path for long duration 2-H exercises? Decisions !
Because when you travel to the other side of the planet, it’s not absolutely necessary to bring the heaviest piece of equipment you own in order to make a video that’s basic instruction
Thanks, as always, for everything!
My pleasure.
This vid is making me slow way down to work on form. I would love a resting rock bottom squat one day…. This seems like it will help get me there.
@@ripdime1351 do the slam ball program for a few months and you will get there really really fast
There's a legend that tells of Mark Wildman squeezing glutes so hard that all his shorts turned into pants.
It happens the other way round actually
🤣
No, it happens this way. Sparrowhawk9935 is correct.
very cool!

Flex your abs like your kinda mean older sibling is about to punch you in the stomach as hard as possible.
👊🏼
Kareem! I was wondering the same thing! And you asked better than I could have. Respect.
your squat is amazing.

Once again you’ve shown me that my form on this exercise is defective, thanks Mark and please continue this series.

It’s fun. Give it a try

The guy from Heroic Sports has a video of him swinging clubs on a paddle board. Using the bottle clubs he sells, which would float if dropped

Missing the Q&As!
If you had limited time would you choose a heavy club , heavy kettlebell, heavy slam ball , or barbell squat?
Kettlebell
Thanks

Yes
@Mark Wildman great looking forward to that
It´s always funny when you emphazise "this IS Mark Wildman" as if we doubted your existance.
Why's that club look like it has a giant spacer in it?
