I find the most important piece in this movement are the stops when you hit the order position. I can easily keep rotating and 'throwing' through the movement in a flow, but those 1/2 second stops at order force everything to contract for me and keep me in form.

Seeing Horseguards in the background of a Mark Wildman video is... well, wild. Every time I see that square, I experience a combination of swelling pride and mildly 'uncomfortable' memories...
@MarkWildman Hey Mark, do you have any idea when Hydrocore will release the Hydra mini? I can’t seem to get in touch with anyone from the company about the mini but was interested after I saw the video you did a while back. Thanks!
It helps to always envision the club as a weapon as opposed to a piece of gym equipment. How would you attack or parry, what if someone is attacking you and your club is on the ground? Something about shouldering a 45lb club feels very martial and very lethal, Herculean is poetically fitting.
Hey Mark, what is a good weight to start with if I have never done this before? For reference I am using a 16kg kettlebell comfortably and ready for upgrade on that front
@MarkWildman Hi and thanks for all the videos, I've been learning a lot from you and a few others channels and time after time get the confirmation that you and a few other channels are well thought out, science and practice based and long term health focus education. That's incredibly valuable! Question, please do answer if you can: what do you think of the kettlebell shape in the link 1 [bellow], that is very different from HS or CS? Is it functional or does it force the user to develop bad habits? Is it actually good? I don't know any different and it's comfortable for now but I don't know i it will be long term and with heavier loads. I have a 12kg in this shape [link 1] and I'm trying to understand if I should keep with this shape that is cheap, well build, small (I am 169cm with short legs and I really want to start doing doubles), but has an unusual shape; or if I should spend more and go for a traditional shape that is a proven standard, probably a hybrid style with those dips on the side for the wrists for comfort [link 2]. Also, for long term and budget choice: should I go for a second 12kg for doubles or should I save the money and a bit later get 2 x 18kg/20kg? Thanks from Portugal!

I think you should go with a competition style, and adjustable competition if you are limited on space. I’ve tried tons of shapes. Everything that’s not a completion bell is now used as a door stop
@@MarkWildman Thanks for your answer, I train with a 16kg kettlebell and/or a 8kg macebell multiple times a week, mostly after the EMOM principle for 60min. As for a macebell workout I do a mix of different exercises of your mace playlist, for example pivot uppercut, martial spin, barbarian squat, gravediggers, inverted side to side swings, paddle row to upper block, outside and inside swings, 360, 10 to 2, etc each 5 sets.
So because I can't get a heavier club (sold out), would just doing it one-handed be the most ideal challenge? I'm stuck at 26 lbs. I do 10 to warm up, 16 one-handed, 20 one-handed, 26 two-handed but by the time I get to the 26, my grip is getting fatigued so I resort to 2-handed.
Hi Mark. I’ve checked your videos and I am concerned a little bit. I train with kb. Now I bought 6kg club. What do you suggest to start: single arm club bell training or two hand training?
Pick a weight and start (see suggestions below). Get the fundamentals of the movements first then add time for volume. Don't go crazy and injure your self. Good luck.
Horrible genetics… 3 knee surgeries. Complete PCL disruption, complete lcl disruption…. And The world isn’t great so having 10 lbs of body fat means I don’t need to eat for 10 days which seems like a descent plan for the future
I think @@MarkWildman is doing enough. He's outlined his reasons above but, moreover, it's not everyone's goal to be extremely lean. Mark makes it clear that he trains for performance, not aesthetics. I like to think that he enjoys barbecues and beers of an evening, further embodying the image of a classical warrior. Maybe he is going to have fish and chips in London tonight. What a lad.
Watching this just before doing my 2 hand club training.
Best in the business right here! Such great information.
Not sure why, this presentation absolutely drove home the 2H mill for me. I just got smacked with a duh moment, thank you for sharing this
This is the best overview video you have done! I have been looking for something just like this to explain HC to other people.

Doing these + the 2h 360 with squat is brutal good work.
Been pushing the 15kg SA inside mill for 4 reps past 5 minutes.. It feels so awesome. My resting posture is becoming incredible.
using 2h with a heavy club I discovered how much weaker one side was vs the other. I had not discovered this with 1H training. WOW.
Same. I'm way better with single hand club than with the 2 hand.

Great Exercise with the right Club!
Gonna have to visit a plumbing store for some pipes!
Seeing Horseguards in the background of a Mark Wildman video is... well, wild. Every time I see that square, I experience a combination of swelling pride and mildly 'uncomfortable' memories...
If I keep watching these videos I’m going to end up getting a quiver of clubs
Truth. Not a bad thing though 💪🏼
Where can I purchase the Rubber heavy club bells ? It seems like tact fit are out of them and Amazon.
Thanks in advance

Sound sick
This guy is great.
thanks
Horseguards Parade!
What weight would you recommend if on daily basis I use 28kg kettlebel for two handed swing?
Mark has achieved an even manlier voice than before.
What happened to his voice?
he'll sound like barry white soon.
Must 'ave got an English bug
Post seminar voice. Weapons seminars demand A LOT of voice to keep everyone on track

Mark, I hope you really enjoy your time in the UK.
Where in the UK?
Can I make heavy club with stick and concrete?
Definitely. Sledgehammers work too
Definitely.

15 lbs is where most people start

@@MarkWildman Thanks Mark.
I have a sore throat just listening to this
Would you recommend a 12kg club as a starting weight for someone who is used to swing a 8kg mace?
I don’t know enough about your mace program to give a proper answer

Single arm and 2 hand are different paths. If you don’t have heavier 2 hand clubs… jump yo single arm program
Question For a male what is the weight range for single hand and what is the weight range for 2 handed? Accepting that I am not Hercules
2hand. 15 (white belt) to 50 lbs (brown belt)
Single arm 15 lbs to 30 lbs is the common target weights
@@MarkWildman thanks
Hi Mark. I’ve checked your videos and I am concerned a little bit. I train with kb. Now I bought 6kg club. What do you suggest to start: single arm club bell training or two hand training?
2 hand
@@MarkWildman ok. And when start with one hand?
👍👍
What happened to your voice in this video? Sounds different.
What’s a good weight to start with?
15 lbs / 6kg

Ah you're at horseguards. I know it well
Great spot
If you are _not_ young, mind the possibility that your connective tissue may lag behind your skeletal muscles.
Nah Hercules would train by carrying bulls up mountains and rolling around boulders and stuff
That's milo of croton and Sisyphus. But yeah probably also Heracles.
Why arent you leaner? I respect your your work but i am curious
