This channel just gets better and so do we! Thanks Mark and congratulations on the 200k! Well deserved.
200k kb swings as a celebration!
here here !
What a guy. We all should count ourselves as fortunate that he's willing to share his knowledge and that we have access to it
200k subscribers! Congrats Mark!
I own kettlebells (26, 35, 44, 53, 62, 70 lb.), slam balls (30, 40, 50 lb.), medicine balls (10, 20 lb.), adjustable dumbbells (5 - 50 lb.), resistance bands, jump ropes, and a pullup/push up/dip station. I'll end up purchasing additional slam balls and I will eventually purchase an adjustable club. The entire cost of my equipment is probably cheaper than a couple years of a gym membership. This is really all the equipment I will ever need to stay in kick-ass shape.
I just bought your slamball routine. Today was day one. Great workout! Buy it guys, it’s a good program. You can use this indefinitely.
Huge grats on 200k subs. Happy for your success my man.
200k kb swings as a celebration!
MARK - can you please do a detailed breakdown of the clean technique. With slow-motion or a frame-by-frame explanation. Specifically zooming in on the hands and fingers placement. I am trying to get it right but I feel like I am doing something wrong when dropping the weight back down and then cleaning it back up. this would be super helpful!!
CONGRATS on the 200k subs! Way to go! You deserve so much more!
Keep up the GREAT work, Mark!!
Mark you're equipment choices geared for functional strength and with a cost / benefit ratio mindfulness continues to impress me.
I live in an apartment and I can't really use a slam ball properly - no slamming! ..so I stick to my KBs. But I completely agree that is far more functional, useful and fun equipment than barbells. I've used both when I was doing CrossFit and a slam ball always felt more natural than the robotic layout and patterns of barbells. Due to the weight BBing probably has higher risk of injury as well. The skills of handling a SB for sure will affect your everyday life and make you function better and more attractive, where BB really does only the latter.
Video request: knee strengthening focused video
I have floating knee caps and recently have dislocated my left knee cap for the first time. I have dislocated my right knee cap four times in the past. This has caused a decent amount of trauma for side-to-side movements and I am probably going to be in a position soon to have knee surgery at the age of 27.
Assuming I can dig myself out of this situation, what would you recommend to strengthen my legs to prevent future injury? I have been using an adjustable kettlebell, adex arc, and adex club to improve my overall strength but it feels like I might need something more knee-focused to give myself a chance of my knees lasting long-term.
I have in the past have done kb get-ups, kb swings, inside circles, outside circles, shield casts, mace 360, and barbarian squats. How would you program a knee strengthening routine for those that struggle with long-term knee issues? Is it even possible to improve knee cap tracking? My right knee cap now makes cracking noises and my left knee has started to do the same as well. Physical therapy helps me recover but it just seems like a perpetual problem.
Great video, looking to learn and your the best.
Sorry I missed the SB front squat vid last year. Good good stuff coach. I like a Zercher styled squat, be it barbell(prefer thick axle) or with an odd shape, ball or bag. I learned sandbag squat from Julien Pineau of Strong fit, a Strongman exercise themed CrossFit. He uses a bear hug to engage lats. I will add that bags are easily affordable and loadable. I use smaller plastic sandbags as additions. Also, could you design a wheelbarrow workout? I believe it would be perfect rear chain developer.
I have family members who have spent a lot on high end treadmills or ellipticals that just collect dust. They'll never get the same return on investment that I have gotten in my kettlebells, clubs, and gym rings, which are all cheaper combined. The most expensive item I have purchased to date is the adjustable kettlebell from Kettlebell Kings but even then, I did not think it was a bad investment at all. The only items I use that I know will not last forever are my pullup assist resistance bands that I paid 25 dollars for on Amazon but those have lasted me at least 3.5 years and still work well. Ultimately, I think people need to find those fitness things that interest them and justify the expense as an investment in themselves and their health. The best decision I ever made with fitness was when I picked up a kettlebell at my apartment gym to try standing ab exercises because I was tired of getting on the floor. It led to trying and investing in other implements that have far exceeded my interest than what I had been doing in the gym previously and I've seen the best results since then. Ultimately, I inadvertently turned my fitness routine from a chore into a hobby and I am grateful that happened.
200K!!! Congratulations!!!
As always very informative👍Keep up the great work Mark!!💯💯💯
OK, was anyone else thinking that Mark was going to let us know there was a new adjustable slamball?
I have the program (also the swing and C&P) and I can say it is fantastic. Thanks Mark.
I think using a sandbag is kind of adjustable slamball. He said that in the previous video. Cerberus or Rogue has round sandbags.
I’m working on a good solution to the slam ball / sand bag issue.
@@MarkWildman The slamball program is the most polished of them all and i really liked the layout, colors, and flow of the document. Videos were great as well. There were some small issues with fonts and formatting in the C&P program, would you like me to send them to you/someone? I'd also be happy to help with a re-write of the Swing program as it was VERY CAP HAPPY :) from a marketing guy I found it very hard to read. Like I said, happy to do the work and if you use it good, if you don't I won't be offended
@@MarkWildman Mark, maybe a video comparing how they feel/hold/use between an slam/sand bag? You said if it's not full (usually they are 100lb capacity), you put cloths inside to make it rounded. I'm a wee city boy so I cannot have multiple slambag in my tiny flat. But a sandbag would do.
@@MarkWildman I have bought all the kettlebell, club and the mobility programs that you have realised on both platforms. I train at home inside and out weather permitting, I now find myself running out of storage space in my typical English bungalow and my wife is making dark muttering sounds. Would it be feasible to use the Onnit slam bell for your slam ball course, I am asking because it is flat so potentially easier to stow away in quantity? Thanks for the inspiration.
Congrats Mark for 200K!!
I bought some of your videos recently and got some kettlebells and a heavy club for Christmas! I just went through the first few moves of your introduction to heavy clubs yesterday and am already sore in my mid back and sides. My plan was to do a day of kettlebells and a day of heavy clubs twice a week in the beginning and eventually move to your program design of adding in single arm clubs on a third day twice a week. This should be good for the next few months to a year for me but where would I fit in slam ball if I want to try it in the future. What should I swap out?
2 hundred k congrats
I've been happy with the 70# from Titan, and got 20 and 45 from amazon used-like new for cheap
Ok I’m buying your program. I have one slam ball but I prefer to use my 100-pound round sandbag, loaded to about 80-pounds.
I think I’ll unload it to around 55-pounds and start the program.
Is there anything to work on or do differently if using a sandbag rather than a slam ball?
Try to stuff the empty space in the bag with old rags to round it out if possible
You could also just make an exercise sandbag at home; buy a surplus military seabag, buy washed sand fill with said sand. Boom, weight bag. Even better than a slam ball or kettlebell and it's cheaper. Ive made one myself and they're good for getting strong, I would compliment it with a kettlebell and a pull up bar/gymnastic rings and bodyweight exercises
Will the future slam ball programs have the same recommended starting weights? Or after doing this program with 3 weights will you be strong enough to start with the 2nd or 3rd respectively weight you started this program with
The latter
You’ll definitely be able to use the weights over again in future programs
Thank you, thank you, thank you: next week I'm moving and I'm going to have a garage to spare (I don't have a car) and I'm thinking about building a tiny gym (I trained with kettlebells in my bedroom for the past two years). I was thinking about "going heavy" to alternate barbell deadlifting and squatting with my regular KB program but this video opened other possibilities. I'm also thinking about clubs to add in some rotational movements (I have a Kettlebell Kings adjustable bell and I'd really like an Adex adjustable club but the shipping costs from the US to Europe are out of this world).
I think at the end of the day it comes down to people's goals. For most people a barbell set-up isn't going to be the optimal way to go, and even if it was a gym membership to a good local barbell gym is always going to be the better economical and logistical value.
Hi stranger... Good to see you looking well... . Hope your mum, farm and the ponies are well. What happened to the beautiful mountains?
they are in all the new videos
Mark - can you do your slam ball program with round sandbags?
Wondering why you use slam-balls instead of sandbags. Any insight would be much appreciated.
You certainly can. Bells of steel has good round sandbags. A 50 and a 100 . Load them
In 5 or 10 lb jumps as you progress through the program
@@MarkWildman Many thanks!
Mark, What weight is ideal for ladies in their 40s? For fitness purpose
Usually start with 20, build to 50
Thank you, Mark! I have got the 12kg one to start with❤. I have subscribed to your Kettlebell Basics programme! It’s the world’s best foundational training for beginners and even pros who need to review their basics! Do you also have or going to produce a Slam ball Basics programme for beginners? I’m definitely interested. Thank you again for your teaching! Simply the world’s best!
It makes me happy knowing I used well over 1k worth of equipment doing deadlifts this morning and I will be using a $80 kettlebell for swings tomorrow.
I think honestly the best bet for barbell training is the used market. I also believe a double body weight deadlift is one of the best goals a man can have when it comes to training.
I agree.
You’ve probably got a video somewhere about “why slam balls over sand bags” gonna go look for it now… appreciate you.
I got a short axle from rogue and did zercher squats when I was living in an apartment a few years back. That's the best option for apartment "barbell" squatting that I'm aware of.
Agree
The only difference I know, is that Rogue’s are made in the USA.
So, You are just trying to do what Pavel did with kettlebell I assume. Not saying it doesn't work or your points are not valid, but just a different form of doing gpp work?
Kettlebells are gpp by nature. We are all doing Pavel with a slightly different focus. Communication styles differ
Slam balls are also super easy to DIY. Buy a kickball, fill with sand, done.
Mark where are your club programs? All I see on your site is kettlebell and slam ball programs
Description of videos.
My high school football coach had the metal shop students weld up a couple squat racks for or weight room. Great cheap idea and those things could survive an RPG.
Ok this is what I was looking for. Where can I find the program?
Description below this video
Like Sam B, I'm curious to know the differences between slam balls and sandbags. Seems like a lot of cross over regarding the exercises available. But it seems the sandbags would win when considering the economics aspect. Thanks for all your great work that you share, btw.
As I understand it, Sandbags aren't really meant for high impact drops/slams. You can use them, but eventually they'll start to fail and leak sand everywhere.
@@BenSemisch Fair enough!
Slam balls expensive? Seems that some people haven't paid for a gym membership. Crossfit and gyms like F45 can cost you up to $60 a week. A 30/40 and 50 lb slam ball shipped is $316 to my place.
Another advantage: kettlebells, clubs, slamballs, etc. are easily resold on eBay
Living in the Northeast of the US, I feel a little self-conscious using a Slamball.
There are thousands of miles of stone walls here.
I don’t know the exact techniques used, but I bet if you calculated the aggregate work involved, it would make the Pyramids look like bouncy castles.
I agree.
The Roads are always open….. and no addition cost.

The pandemic came and taught everyone the importance of having multiple stream of income, unfortunately having a nice paying job doesn't mean you are financial secured anymore. So we all need to put in an etra-income earning chance, like investment.
Yeah!! It would be more beneficial and yield more profit if you actually trade on Cryptocurrency I've been trading since the dip, I've made so much profit trading
Crypto is bringing a different revolution in the world economy. People who are optimistic investors earn consistently.... Others will just sit and watch!
I've always wanted to trade on Crypto but got confused with the fluctuations in price
@@lunarobinson7147 I trade with Mr Andrew Jordan, and I must say he makes money making seem a whole lot easier right now I'm a single parent and I pay the bills comfortably since I met Andrew Jordan, He's absolutely amazing and I'd recommend him for any novice in crypto
I think trading is easier with proper guidance, especially from a proffessional it really helps reduce the chances of running into losses. All thanks to Mr Andrew Jordan He changed my life, I was able to pay my mortgage ❤
oof, 200 bucks is kind of steep.
Not that I think it's not worth it, but holy heck I can't afford it right now
I know it's 200 bucks for effectively forever knowledge, or 1.50 a month for 20 years
I’m working on a subscription idea but I’m a bit out of my depth. This is the best I can do for now
@@MarkWildman if this seemed like a complaint, it wasn't. Your content is worth it!
@@Fwibos You read my mind.
I don't know who this video is really aimed at. Anyone who has the funds and is willing to buy an expensive barbell would be willing to spend on a slam ball if they wanted to. But as a teenager, I did just fine with a cheap barbell, adjustable dumbbells and a chin up bar. Most of the weight plates can be picked up secondhand for a few dollars or from a recycling place (there's nearly always some in the metal scrap section in the UK at least).
Sigh
I live in the UK and have never seen weights at a recycling centre, presumably the staff would take them. Plenty of poor quality home aerobics gear though.
You over complicate things way too much. People just need to pick the right size bell that they can do a movement correctly with and add reps then when they’re ready go up a weight. It’s not complicated. (Talking about kettlebells). Maces and shit are just gimmicks.
Sigh
