This lesson shows why Mark Wildman provides the best kettlebell "how to" instruction on RUclips! When we learn from Mark, we get the best detail with the best production values. When it comes to kettlebell instruction, Mark Wildman stands at the pinnacle of the craft!
@@MarkWildman That was going to be my next question(s). Ideally, what hand should the bell be on when doing single leg/single hand or is it just preference? Is there a significant difference? No worries. Looking forward to the next video. Have a great weekend!
@@tiko325 When I do this exercise I like to change hands at the bottom, i.e. letting go of the kettlebell on the ground, holding the position while switching hands, coming back up. I usually don't do many reps as I use it as a warm-up for pistol squats, mostly - really lights up all stabilizing muscles - but I guess it would be interesting to do it for time. The hand switch really adds complexity and changes the way your core fires every rep.
As much as I love your tutorials on movement patterns I don't know yet every now and again I get to watch with great satisfaction that I've been doing it more better for a while all on my own
That water movement is tripping me out! The lesson was as excellent as ever, thank you. I've given up on keeping a seperate library of bookmarks for kettlebell lessons and now just search this channel before any other reference...
Great video. Another to add to the "to do list" once I get past volume cycles with my new 24Kg. Your level of output is incredible. Take a weekend off and go fishing or hunting.
@@MarkWildman jammy sod. I'm in lockdown so missing getting out. Mind you, once lockdown ends I won't have any time for fishing due to backlog of travelling required. Enjoy your weekend
Great timing. Need to do a little corrective work at end of work out to recover from babying one leg following minor injury. This will give it the focus attention i need to bring it back. Thanks as always Mark
Some Mark Wildman Therapy! Can’t believe this Ohio farm boy cracked into Hollywood, what a testament to his skill and dedication to infinite movement modalities 💪🏼
Yes! I actually do this one lol. This is a great exercise for soccer players who want to improve kick/control with non-favoured foot. You start with the unaccustomed standing leg skill. Once that dynamic support is reached, your weak-foot skills will improve markedly. Cells that work together wire together!
A few questions: What is meant in the beginning by "packing the shoulder"? What videos would you recommend for learning more about these techniques, such as packing the shoulder and "breathing behind the shield"? Last question. I live in LA, and I'm interested in short term training to become self sufficient with kettlebell. Is that possible, and where could I find your rates?
Packing the shoulder refers to the optimal shoulder position for these exercises. Pull your shoulder blades back and then down. It's the opposite of shrugging your shoulders and pushing them forward. It can help with range of motion and it makes you fire your lats. I'm sure there other reasons for it as well. I try to do this daily (with supinated arms) to correct a slouching posture.
Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for. Where did you film this? Looks like a place I need to drive to with a truck full of kettlebells, clubs and slamballs
I tough I understood the "pull the kneecap" cue but after this video i'm not sure anymore. Kind of difficult if i squezze my glute AND pull my kneecap. So maybe my swing is bad... Can you expand on that? Gives other cues to understant/feel what the proper mechanic is? Thanks a lot for those video. Great stuff as always!
Hey mark in a couple of your videos on clubs you mentioned the club get up, and that clubs are legs all the time, but more minor? Could you do a video explaining the exercise, and one elaborating more on the legs of using clubs? That’s one thing I’ve been wondering about, is if my upper body will be bigger/more developed than my lower? Thank you, great video as always! (:
Played with it just now with a 25lb and 40lb........... tells me my balance is more of an issue than the weight. Guess that's my body's way of telling me I should incorporate more movements like this.
Do you find this targets the hanstring better than a conventional bar bell deadlift? I am looking at this as a possible accessory instead of using machines for isolation. It also seems that this would be a great strech for the ol' hammies 😁
Great exercise...can we use this as part of warmup on swing or snatch days as long as the weight used is less than (or equal to) what’s being used in the swing or snatch? Or should it be a swing replacement only?
What's a good sets and rep scheme for this as a beginner? I find them pretty tough enough bodyweight and it's definitely due to my arches and foot/ankle stability. Should I try to actively 'grab the ground' and push my big toe down and out?
Mark, great video as always! Does a flat foot qualify as a "bad arch"? And do you have any recommendations for simpler, more fundamental balance exercises to work your way up to this? Or better to just start working on balance here using whatever weight you're able to?
Do you have a routine or program you recommend for people who don't want to learn 75 different movements with kettlebells and clubs and maces? Just a good workout in maybe 20-30 minutes
I have extremely tight hamstrings. Even if I bent my knee I still have to bend my back to get hold of the kb. I suppose in my case I will have to start with the kb on a yoga block and lower it little by little every week (like if you are doing deck squats)?
that's great exercise. my balance isn't that great though. I can probably do 5 reps max without touching the foot on the ground. Amazing location. your vids are top notch, my man
@@MarkWildman thanks. I’ll start off with 16kg and work my way up to 5x5/5 and maybe by then I’ll be able to find a 20kg on this planet! I won’t even bother looking for anything above 24 until I have near full achievement in 16,20,24 in the five foundational KB exercises. If I had time I’d solve this problem. 🙏
Nope. But I do love that Hungarian dish... poppykosh??? I have no idea how to spell it. The egg noodles with bacon and bacon fat with cottage cheese one.... that one is ridiculously good
Another great video, thanks Mark! I find the balance that goes into this exercise kinda cool. I'm curious, did you do Kung Fu.... like professionally? Is that a thing? Or was it more of a hobby?
Such clear waters and beach are hard to find these days. Ours is plastic polluted. I feel sorry for the ducks and stork, people feed them mouldy bread too. Not me, I'm not that cruel.
Been doing these since the days of "You Are Your Own Gym", good exercise - Any thoughts on KB farmers walks? Don't think I've ever seen you talk about them
@@MarkWildman Well it doesn't seem like that a problem for you! But couldn't you do it as a time under tension exercise and say walk up and down whatever space you have for a specific time? Or add doing it to another exercise?
this chanel deserves few more milions subscribers ...some quality stuff
Toatally agree.

I love this one.
I've been doing a more evil version - using a single hand to challenge the balance more.
That will be the next video

Another high quality video from Mark Wildman on a great technique from an undisclosed location!

This channel is absolute fire
Has anyone told u Mark, u rock.
Working out at home , I’m a big fan of this exercise. Using kettlebells since 2016 wish I had found them sooner . Always something new to learn.
4 years earlier than most of us
Awesome class
Anything Kettlebell I refer tour videos! Thank you for tutorials. Good to hear you say this is always difficult ... thought it was me.
When I watch other Kettle Bell videos, I’m like no your doing it wrong 😂
Then I always come back to the professional MK
Love your style
I had that experience once when seeing some one else's weak ass floppy swings.
No teri. They’re doing it not as right as they could be 😉
That water movement is tripping me out!
The lesson was as excellent as ever, thank you. I've given up on keeping a seperate library of bookmarks for kettlebell lessons and now just search this channel before any other reference...
Excellent tutorial as always, many thanks Mark.
Thanks Coach
Love the different backgrounds
Excellent instruction as always
As always great , detailed and clear instructions! Thx Mark!
Loving your work kid. 👍

Already done. Shot a few extra videos to cover the time.
@@MarkWildman jammy sod. I'm in lockdown so missing getting out. Mind you, once lockdown ends I won't have any time for fishing due to backlog of travelling required. Enjoy your weekend
I always find one side far easier than the other. Maybe it is because I use just one arm for the grab and lift (e.g. right arm, right leg, etc.).
Great video, thanks Mark.

Another informative video. Thank you, Mark.
Mark, what is your opinion on rucking? is it a valid option for general fitness and weight loss with smaller knee impact?
Hell yes it is. I love it
Mark what kind of progression would you recommend for this exercise? Something like the one used for clean and press?
1. 2 hand
2. Contra single hand
3. Contra clean
4. Contra press
5. Contra clean and press
@@MarkWildman Thanks!
This exercice seems to be interesting for a runner.
Thanks a tonne! my knee hurt earlier too bad...

Is the standard yellow bell quarantining? We demand its return.

What is the status of your program app? Thank you
Do you find this targets the hanstring better than a conventional bar bell deadlift? I am looking at this as a possible accessory instead of using machines for isolation. It also seems that this would be a great strech for the ol' hammies 😁
From experience, I found it worked the hamstrings even harder than the glutes for me
It’s just different than a conventional deadlift. Make one or the other an accessory training
VERY GOOD. VERY HARD. 🔥
also ok holding kettle bell with one hand ?
love the bells and steel clubs. thanks for the guidance. any recommendations for golfers?
I think there are a few videos on that topic
How do I accomplish this exercise if I don't have an ocean in hand?
Try snow
should you program these with swings? Or an alternative?
Great exercise...can we use this as part of warmup on swing or snatch days as long as the weight used is less than (or equal to) what’s being used in the swing or snatch? Or should it be a swing replacement only?
Mark, should you squeeze both glutes? I only manage a good squeeze with the working leg.
Might do try and do 10x10, using a 24kg or 32kg....
What's a good sets and rep scheme for this as a beginner? I find them pretty tough enough bodyweight and it's definitely due to my arches and foot/ankle stability. Should I try to actively 'grab the ground' and push my big toe down and out?
Thanks Mark! Very clear. Should this exercise replace the squat in my program or be added to the regular squat day activities?
This would replace a swing
@@MarkWildman Thanks
@@MarkWildman Zow! this is really hard to do. Guess that's why Tai Chi was a problem.
Mark, great video as always! Does a flat foot qualify as a "bad arch"? And do you have any recommendations for simpler, more fundamental balance exercises to work your way up to this? Or better to just start working on balance here using whatever weight you're able to?

@@MarkWildmanthank you!
What style of kung fu did you do, Mark? Thank you!
Long fist
that's great exercise. my balance isn't that great though. I can probably do 5 reps max without touching the foot on the ground.
Amazing location. your vids are top notch, my man
Thanks Mark. Are you thinking reverse ladder for this one? I'm quad dominant and want to change this.
That could work fine for medium heavy weights
@@MarkWildman thanks. I’ll start off with 16kg and work my way up to 5x5/5 and maybe by then I’ll be able to find a 20kg on this planet!

if you keep your leg bent at the top, doesn't it help for training endurance in crane or cat stance in kung fu? is there a reason to avoid it?
Because humans are designed to stand up, cat stance is better trained in other ways.
@@MarkWildman thank you coach!

Most people just don’t have long fields or distances to walk during quarantine
An excellent exercise

Make it easy?!? I thought you were gonna say if you’re not a ballerina, learn some ballerina skills, be good at stuff, be a better human.
Ballet takes to long to learn for adults. You start when you are 5 or you basically never get it

Why is this called friggin' Romanian?
Anyway, I don't even know why the get-up is named Turkish.
