@@MarkWildman I think I've learned so much more from you in regards to the mace and the kettlebell then any other channel you just have the gift of teaching 🎁
You prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
@Wesson Adrian I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Nobody's better than Wildman as far as instruction in my humble opinion. Attention to detail, encouragement, focus on form and improvement, repetition, safety, and an empathetic toughness that you learn to trust with your health and life are all features of his great example. Even his voice is confident, reassuring, and has a tempo towards his instruction. Of the very best instructors I ever had in decades in the military, Mark Wildman brings back memories of those men and women whom I miss very much. He's out-fucking-standing!
"You don't have to look at the ground, it's always in the same spot" Thanks Mark, sometimes i need constant reminders to not overthink things. This video really helped my TGU form.
I'm a middle aged fart with really crappy knees so I never thought of doing the TGU. Your concise instructions encouraged me to try it. I can do it know but with lousy form but the basic steps are there. I just use a really light weight to start with - around 4 kilos. It's a really great exercise. No wonder it never went away. Just two complete reps per side gave me a good workout. Thanks, Mark.
It’s good to practice the movement without any weight at all at first. It’s better to practice with no weight and good form than have bad form and light weight. You can add weight after your body gets more used to the movement :)
Excellent instruction. When I fist got into KB a few years ago, I was fairly fit, with no KB experience. I quickly realized how efficient and effective this training method can be. But I also did not want to over complicate training with a variety of exercises. So I narrowed it down to KB swings and TGU's. The swings are a simple activity when compared to the TGU. I started with a light KB for the swings. But NO KB for the TGU. The idea being to learn the steps and physically acclimate to them before adding weight. Since then, I've gradually increased the loads. But I don't seek to use very heavy KB's. Usually nothing more than 30-50lbs. The benefits have been outstanding. I still only do those two KB exercises three times a week. Yes, I do other training involving weights and cardio (bike and rowing). But I feel that the most beneficial overall results have come from my two KB exercises. MW is an excellent source of intelligent instruction for everything KB. If you're physically healthy, start light, progress slowly, and never stop.
What I really appreciate about these videos is that you always talk about reps & sets: from beginner to very advanced. It's really important for me to understand where I 'am' and yet the majority of videos I watch on KBs or weights/fitness in general, rarely mention reps& sets.
Thank God I found your channel Mark. This content is priceless, thank you for taking time to put it together for the general audience. I’ve been doing exercises with light kettlebells for a week and I already feel so much better and 10 years younger. I feel muscles that I haven’t felt in years or maybe even never. I have more energy and great deep sleep. I never thought that you can get so much benefit with just a kettlebell and it also doesn’t take much time, so it’s great for a busy person. I feel so much better after a week of training and I’m looking forward to what’s ahead. Thank you again, Mark.
Mark would be the best teacher of kettlebell I have watched. Comprehensive and easy to understand instructions and clear presentation. I am a Trained teacher and appreciate his professional skills.
This video does not get old. A lot of things that I heard but did not understand, thus I did not actually hear. A joy to watch explanations (like explanation of “shoulder packing” without using the term) which have taken me a year to lay the foundation to understand. A modestly presented teaching tour de force
This is the best video I’ve seen for Turkish Get Ups. I watched other videos and they don’t explain it as well, so I had bad form as a result. Now I know how to do them correctly!
Been following your channel for a while and I think you are one of the best channels for fitness on here. Videos are always concise and breakdown the exercises to the basic level. Been into Kettlebells for a while but will be getting my first Heavy club soon thanks to your breakdown of the benefits. Great videos and hope you continue making more over the years.
Having ~25 years of competitive swimming and teaching experience and moving to crossfit box with ZERO knowledge about weight lifting and exsistence of kettlebells. left the box with a bit more experience to home train myself. Your channel got me the basics , and change my look at kettlebells and functional training. Thank you for sharing your knowledge , experience , breaking down the hard moves and making those awesome videos where you speak to the point. Your teaching skills are great , took couple of things from them too.
So currently I do a very Pavel-esque one of these every minute, for 10 minutes (so 10 total getups-5 per side). I love your nerd math videos, and I’m trying to figure out what I’m working towards. You sort of say it here, I’m just looking for clarity what my goal is volume-wise before a new bell. You’ve changed my life man. Genuinely thank you.
I've watched so many of your videos in the past few days. Your encouragement is as top tier as your instructions. Not everyone can handle hearing they did something "wrong" so phrasing it the way you do probably keeps a lot of people going who might have thought of quitting.
What sound issues? This is so well done as it is, particularly the explanations why the TGU is so useful, and the details. First time I've been this inspired to incorporate the TGU in my routine! If you want to do it again, fine, but no need to delete this. It's excellent.
Aww man I love you and the way you teach the likes of me who never thought I could ever do TGU in my wildest dream...step by step...wow just blew me away...I have deleted all other training you tube channels in my saved list. You are my one and only GO TO man here on in. I watch all your vids. Thank you Mark. I am purchasing your clothing. Much Respect.X
Mark Great content & demo. I'm 58 and did not implement Kettlebells until age 50, TGUs specifically have been key in restoring lost Mobility & functional strength. Have worked up to 50 TGUs in 28 minutes with 60 lbs
Thank you so much Mark for posting this precise, step-by-step explanation of the TGU. I have followed your technique with a light bell and my confidence is growing all the time. I particularly like the way you showed the correct way to set the kettlebell at the start of the movement, which is often skirted over by other UA-cam "coaches".
Absolutely fantastic instructions. Also all his other tutorials, IMO the best you can find on the net when it comes to kettlebell training. Thank you for your great work, Mark!
I subscribed just to reward youtubers who do not talk for 10 minutes before showing you something, but goes immediately straight to the point, and keeps his videos between 5 and 10 minutes
I agree with other comments - you are clearly a great professional. Clear communicator, clear command of the detail and ability to implement with even beginners
Excellent content that provides the key considerations and movements. Well conceived & well produced; those qualities always stand out for me when a video production gives me great content without wasting my time due to poor planning & scripting! Top quality here...much appreciated.
Rolling shoulderblade back and fire lat. That's a nice detail to practice. Super helpful. Loving the bell. Watched the whole warmup series. Sooooo fantastic. Prepping the muscles properly makes so much sense.
I'm 50 and started doing these three months ago after my accident. They've really helped me gain back mobility in the pelvic area and upper back. I don't know why they don't have this exercise in PT
Sir, this must be the best explanation of the Turkish Get-up I've ever come across! I've been avoiding it for years, but I'm going to try it tonight! Thanks, all the best! 👍☺️
I am always impressed by how Mark can execute the entire movement flawlessly while talking without running out of breath... he is like one of those crazy kpop star dancing and singing with zero lip sync.
What a great explanation - thank you! I'm disabled and always thought that I'd never be able to do these because I have poor balance. I'm going to try doing them as far as getting to my knees now, and see if I can eventually work up to standing
I've been doing a simple and sinister workout about 1-3 times a week for about a year now, and landed here to try to check my form and process and all that to see what I can improve. Thanks for all of these tips. They are super helpful. I definitely see spots I can improve my form particularly as I'm setting goals to get up to heavier weight. This movement is so complex for my pea sized brain, it has taken until now for me to watch some videos on it again and actually be able to process what you're saying and the pointers you make. Thank you so much! I've come to love the get up. I feel stronger and am definitely way more flexible than I ever have been in my 50 years. It's funny to bend down and pick things up, and it doesn't feel weird or a struggle, or like something is out of place. So sad how sedentary we have become! Somehow I got the idea that it was 5 L and 5 R for get ups (simple & sinister style). Not 1 L and 1 R for X reps. Not sure where I landed at that, but I'll blame it on my pea sized brain and that's what I've been doing. Freaking burns both arms out and the legs by the end. My heaviest bell at the moment is only 22kg, so I've been doing that long enough I finally decided to add in a 6th rep, then a few days later I went to 8 and now I'm at 10 each side. I'm at 98% complete muscle failure (especially in my left / weak side), at the 10th rep. It's a struggle to drop it down safely, but I'm managing. I definitely feel I can go quite a bit heavier particularly if I switch sides between reps. I have a 24kg on order, and I hope that'll serve me for a bit longer, but want to work up to a 32kg. Thanks for all of your awesome instructional videos and how well you break these movements down! Much appreciated. You are an awesome instructor, coach, teacher.
Thanks for the video, I have done tgu for a long time and have managed with a 32kg some time ago. I am starting again with a 16kg. Your video has given me lots of small pointers that I can use to improve my tequnique, train better and improve my general fitness. Thanks again.
“Reps start w/sets of one.” Perfect! I don’t have kettlebells (yet) and bench, at most, 50#. I’m looking forward to adding this but I’m going to start with NO WEIGHT and work up.😎 Thanks, Wildman!
Love your channel Mark. Great systematic breakdowns of movements like the get up. It can be a little overwhelming bc there's so many steps, so this is great
Thank you so much for the advice! My turkish get up got improved overnight. Again, thanks a lot for sharing such good knowledge. Cheers from Santiago, Chile!
Mark, you know.. i've seen a lot, tried a lot, was really sporty in my tweens, then let my body decay behind a desk for a decade, had some surgery after an accident, etc. pp. and really am at the bottom of my confidence in myself. But this? The way you explained it, i think i could do that, yes. i could maybe start with a smaller weight, but i think this could work. I haven't felt so confident in my body for years. thank you for that.
Hi Mark, This was the best explanation of this robust exercise. I can see at least three groupings I can do separately todo as individual exercises to get used to those movements, then combine them . The transition part of just changing the kettle bell from one arm to another could be used by itself as an excellent grabbing conditioner.To teach people how to switch your body from ground holds.
This helped me strengthen specific body parts for jiu jitsu, wrestling, and judo. I enjoy seeing other people break it down. It pretty much covers all the bases. Grueling but worth it on all sides.
This channel is so underrated !! From all the videos I saw from you, I've always apreciated the way you teach and going through every step and making little details count which can lead to injuries in the long term if not taken into consideration (in my opinion). TL ; DR : Thank you very much for your work ! ^^
Thank you for clear, direct instructions & intertaning as well here is another new goal for me to achieve (you are helping me learn different ways of getting up thank you)
I know this video is 2 years old, but love going back for some good fundamentals. Mark is the best at this. And, the humor is great. “Don’t look at the ground, it is always underneath your feet.” Could not be for humor, but funny nonetheless.
Another excellent breakdown. So important to get the form perfect on these things, so having you provide a template to copy as we practice is so beneficial. Keep nerding out on this Mark. Great content.
I like that tip about ‘rolling over the weight’ when its time to transition hands. Its so efficient and saves you from wasting time getting up and sitting down again. I feel so much more informed through performing TGUs, I used to think they were just for shoulder rehab. Truth is if you don’t practice these 2x a week, you are missing out on an incredible super movement.
I've tried these but my form was bad. Awesome step by step breakdown and form.. And after watching this, and then practising your TGU. I feel great afterwards .. Thank you Mark 👍 Excellent
This is excellent! I used to do a lot of these but switched over to sandbag get ups due injuries/curiosity. Two tips: (1) the arms, head, and shoulders should form a straight line from the elbow post position on up. Most people when they start these will form sort of a "Z" shape tilted onto its side and the kinetic chain\line of force will be broken and the bell will wander all over the place. (2) it helps to face a wall when doing these so you can square yourself to the wall as you do them. This is a slow exercise so do not hesitate to stop during execution and reset yourself if needed. You can have a lot of fun with get ups! There are a lot of get ups out there and I hope you cover some more different types. I thought your on weight loss training was the best I have ever seen! I check this site daily!!!! I think a good topic that have yet to see covered anywhere is risk ewards in general.
The way I learned the movements was taking of my shoes and balancing one of them on my fist and always looking at it. I practiced the patterns until the shoe wouldn’t fall on my face (two rounds - especially my weak side/ weak hand). Only then I started with weights.
"Don't have to look at the ground it's always underneath your feet" lol. I love your comments! Thanks for the great video! You made TGUs look (almost) easy 😆. Also one thing that's super cool in your videos is how you tend to actually explain the *benefits* of an exercise or a class of exercises. The nerds among us tend to love that 🤣 Keep rocking. Cheers from France.
Sorry if you’ve already answered this! - lots of comments here. Bridge vs. no bridge? Pros, cons, suggestion? (I’ve always done one & enjoy it) Thank you for your teaching-wonderfully clear & generous!
From a teacher: you are an excellent teacher. Explain, demonstrate, explain, demonstrate, repeat.
thank you. that means a lot. i pride myself on my teaching skills. hard fought. hard won

@@hepteropterix good point!
In our MMA gym we started with our shoes as a weight, just to get the choreography right.
"You're doing it not very right" is possibly the most positive way of telling someone they are doing it wrong.
Add "do it better"
Aside from the good instruction of the actual movement this was my favorite part.
Who is incapable of hearing "you're not doing it right"... weird af
He’s great!

I feel so much more informed through performing TGUs, I used to think they were just for shoulder rehab. Truth is if you don’t practice these 2x a week, you are missing out on an incredible super movement.
You can just spin around on your bum too.
you can't get any better instructions 🎉👏
I've tried these but my form was bad. Awesome step by step breakdown and form.. And after watching this, and then practising your TGU. I feel great afterwards .. Thank you Mark 👍
Excellent
nice
Great instruction, best trainer on you tube
Yeh agree with a lot of other comments your level for detail and comments is great - I subbed
your hand movements are so funny. but i love your videos! thank you so much homie
Amazing move and teaching
This is excellent! I used to do a lot of these but switched over to sandbag get ups due injuries/curiosity. Two tips: (1) the arms, head, and shoulders should form a straight line from the elbow post position on up. Most people when they start these will form sort of a "Z" shape tilted onto its side and the kinetic chain\line of force will be broken and the bell will wander all over the place. (2) it helps to face a wall when doing these so you can square yourself to the wall as you do them. This is a slow exercise so do not hesitate to stop during execution and reset yourself if needed. You can have a lot of fun with get ups!
There are a lot of get ups out there and I hope you cover some more different types. I thought your on weight loss training was the best I have ever seen! I check this site daily!!!!
I think a good topic that have yet to see covered anywhere is risk
ewards in general.
The way I learned the movements was taking of my shoes and balancing one of them on my fist and always looking at it. I practiced the patterns until the shoe wouldn’t fall on my face (two rounds - especially my weak side/ weak hand). Only then I started with weights.
Nice! This is exactly what Pavel Tsatsouline recommends in his book Simple and Sinister.
My teacher used the shoe first too, then a plastic cup of water!
I did not stop until i have mastered the moves on my dominant side. Moving on the other side. you made it look easy mark 😅
Honestly if there's one strength move work perfecting, it's this one. Thanks Mark for the great step-by-step breakdown !
I'm really enjoying your videos. Thank you for the detailed instruction.
Watched a couple of your videos over the last few days, top notch instructor
I've never seen a TGU broken down like this. You're a great instructor!
Thanks a millions for this video. Can't be more clear than that.
Amazing.....Thank You for educating...Now I know. Best wishes from Indiana
What I love about your training is that I always learn what I didn't realize I didn't know.... if that makes sense.
Very much makes sense
🙏🏼 breaking it down. Never thought of that to learn the correct form
Super stuff again you got to get up . love this channel .
Thanks sir your explanation was very good
Great instruktion video.
Love this. Great content, man. Thank you. 👍
"Don't have to look at the ground it's always underneath your feet" lol. I love your comments! Thanks for the great video! You made TGUs look (almost) easy 😆. Also one thing that's super cool in your videos is how you tend to actually explain the *benefits* of an exercise or a class of exercises. The nerds among us tend to love that 🤣 Keep rocking. Cheers from France.
you'd be amazed at how many people look for the ground
Sorry if you’ve already answered this! - lots of comments here.
Bridge vs. no bridge? Pros, cons, suggestion? (I’ve always done one & enjoy it)
Thank you for your teaching-wonderfully clear & generous!
Super demo and breakdown. Thank you!
Love how you say "doing it not very right".🤣
