I did this today mid-workout with a 15lbs and I was surprised of how much I felt it, in the hips off course but also at the arms and shoulders... works really good for the core. Thanks Mark for another smart exercise!!
Thinking today's short video was meant for me! Thank you! Definitely doing squats wrong all these years; I have no torso and long legs for my 5'2" frame. This position will be a lot of work with my pre surgery knees but could feel it improving with a few moments. Wondering if I'll to be able to complete the position with my back & short mid section. THANK YOU!
Oh, it certainly does feel terrible! I am not able to sit in the shin box position without leaning back and supporting myself with my arms. Part of the problem is my complete lack of flexibility and the other is this small keg that I have for a stomach. Slowly working on it.
Thanks for sharing this, again !!! I remember seeing this on your channel last year. And then was talking with my Aikido sensie (an ex Operator) and shin box came up. Been doing it 2x daily for past year and no lower back pain doing oly lifts. I sometimes though can pop my left glute during transition ; feels amazing !!! BUT THANK YOU AGAIN for pointing out details. For THRUs is leg punishment days .
I learned shin boxes from my trainer, but one side of my hips always stays at least an inch off the ground and pushing it down usually gets my lats saying don't do that. Using the club is an interesting way of not falling over backwards while shifting side to side, but getting everything working properly will clearly take a while.
I do this stretch regular like mark from your old video on this. Trying get rid pain still in my glute area just now as of late can sense the muscle which it feels like pain coming from piriformis, looking to maybe build it up and glutes. So a bunch squats done in sets 25ish, to feel that piriformis. I need a bunch of work there, agree walking 8 hours day would help. Need to get to just a hour first. P.S. thankyou, an i will do this
Just wanted to say that I only did kettlebell work for about 6 months before being put on medical restrictions for almost a month. After a month of zero exertion I was able to pick up my previous routine with no issues. Granted, I was not able to do as many sets as I had right before I was sidelined, but I was able to do all the exercises I had previously with the same number of reps. When I would workout with normcore fitness methods, two weeks off would send me back to square one and I would have to start over. I appreciate the fact that I have a longer term fitness change with the kettlebell work. Now to get my cardio conditioning back to where it was before the break, lol.
When I do this one, there’s just an obscene amount of swearing narrating the snap, crackle and pops. Lovely, when you’ve worked through the tightness though. Like a little DIY lower back massage
I can verify this is awesome, have been doing these for a little while. Have found doing some muscle ‘smashing’ in the hip crest with a ball prior helps prepare the area for deeper movement if you are locked up. Also hip CARs afterwards helps connect the brain to the new movement range.
Doing shin box and windshield wipers are difficult for be due to size and body shape. I started the TOI program and am loving it as well as seeing gains at week 4. But in the warm ups I am having real trouble doing these properly due to my big ol' gut and my deconditioned status. Suggestions for modifications or alternative movements for a big'un like me??
Love your videos and the knowledge that you share with us. Question...I understand the tetras of program design...but since I compete in Obstacle Course Races..Spartan in particular, how can I incorporate farmer walks,sandbag carries into the program..? I'm guessing I would drop one of the other exercises? Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us.
Yes. A similar exercise that Mark has a video on is the kettlebell shinbox shoulder press and there was a kettlebel shinbox exercise that was the precursor to the shinbox shoulder press but I am forgetting the name right now.
REQUESTION You should seriously consider writing A book, your philosophy on human moves should not be missed out.
"If it feels terrible, you should definitely do it."... Is now my Mantra for life. 😎

"If you caNNNnoot hold the club and do it........ then you will have to do it every morning till you are able to do it" 😂
Good one ❤

I have the same issues.

Thank you 😊
Great instruction! I must, must focus on this drill.
Here's hoping this'll work with a Kettle bell. I don't have heavy clubs but this is definitely something I need
It definitely could.
wonderful! thank you!

Great explanation as usual. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Peace be with you brother!
I've got a ways to go with getting my spine vertical. I'll keep working on it. Should anyone with healthy hips be able to do this?
Mark do you have any trained people in the uk 🇬🇧?

Can you do this with a kettlebell?

Does the KB and the CB cover all the bases or should one bring in the mace?
Mark, is the red section on your club a weight or a spacer? Thanks
Spacers. The link to them is in the Equipment section of the description above
Could you do this with a light kettlebell? Don't have a club & can't afford one yet.
Yes
Yes. A similar exercise that Mark has a video on is the kettlebell shinbox shoulder press and there was a kettlebel shinbox exercise that was the precursor to the shinbox shoulder press but I am forgetting the name right now.
