Your commentary is great, Mark! "If you're straining your neck, figure out how not to", "If it hurts, do it better", and my favorite "Don't do that." We need merch for the last one and if you haven't considered being a life coach, you should.
This is such a phenomenal exercise. Really helped me get ready for Law Enforcement PT. It’s like a combination of weighted sit ups, plus lots of tricep activation which helps with push ups. One of my favorites that you’ve posted.
This is great Mark. I discovered you a few weeks ago and I have now watched all of your videos and have started my kettle bell workout, moving away from dumbbells and bands for the most part now, although still incorporating those in to some degree. Now if only the industry can keep up with the kettlebell demand. Current circumstances have caused a shortage of available kettlebells for sale...as in, there are none. Please create more ab focussed videos using kettlebell and clubs, if possible.
Good solid compound exercise clearly explained. Finally someone teaching you how to get strong and fit without showing off huge muscles or a six pack. He’s plenty big and strong just not showing off. Great work!
It's not compound it's only 1 joint moving,that makes it isolation exercise.Actually it's a very poor exercise since the range of resisted movement is too short to be a good lat exercise and the lever too short to be a good ab exercise. A lighter weight but with arms kept straight would be far more effective. Also,you would never bring the weight any further forward than the head.This just shows he doesn't understand kinesiology at all.
it is a one joint exercise... but your comment shows you don't know the point of the movement... and therefore don't know shit about kinesiology either... so.. we agree to disagree
scarred10 reducing weight and straightening the arms changes nothing in regards to how much work the abs need to do. Spend more time trying to understand and less time writing shitty comments
As lockdown came gyms are closed by us i started kettleblling at home. from all youtube i consider your videos the best content.very clear applicable useful and direct tothe point. thanks and greetings from Slovakia :)
I love this exercise - it's way better than the barbell or dumbbell version. Uniform grip, symmetrical movement, as you said - the KB version is a lever.
I have been working the TGU with 2 videos you created. Started with no weight, then trivial weight When I moved to low-end women's weights I could hear your emphatic remarks when I got a little wobbly One problem, after watching you flow through TGU, I was a bit shocked when I started low-end men's weight, these things are HEAVY
Love watching you. This has given me new ways to work out. Do you have some sit up exercises. This is my trouble stop after having a C section. Thank tou
Mark, is there a reason why you use the heavy clubs from amazon and not onnit? Really enjoy and have learned so much from your training videos. Thanks for the great content.
Now correct me if I'm wrong but going back to barbell or dumbell pullovers with your elbows tucked in your shoulder is externally rotated so it engages the lats, if you flare your elbows it internally rotates the shoulders & engages the pecs more. So by simply changing your elbow position we can target our pecs or lats more. Also while I generally train outside so the ground is ideal, but doing it on a crossbones can get you some different benefits as well as greater range of motion. As usual great content!
Question: I think I remember from the Simple and Sinister book that Pavel discourages slouching/flexion after swings. How would you sequence this exercise and would it count anyway as the back is flat and supported by the floor?
I get a lot more out of pullovers if I don’t take the motion all the way to the stomach but instead at more of a 45 degree angle to keep constant tension. And if I use a kettlebell I prefer to grab from the sides vs the handle which also creates more chest tension.
Random question, what type of boots are you wearing? Are they comfortable for running? I have been looking for a good pair that I can wear and workout in and you appear to be a guy that would know. Appreciate your insight and thank you for sharing your knowledge on your UA-cam channel.
Excellent exercise, however, after I turned the kettlebell upside down, the new position caused me pain in the area below the right thumb. In other words, my weak link seems to be located somewhere in the area of joints, muscles and ligaments of the hand/wrist. Have you adressed this point in a video before, or plan to to it in the future? That would be much appreciated
so this is also a lat exercise right...? i thought i seen the guy from swing this kettlebell and strength doing this with 2 16kg bells using a false grip
Hi Mark. I am 46 yrs old, in pretty decent shape and just ordered a 35lb kettlebell. I play a lot of basketball (my first love). My goal is to get stronger and better athletic movements for basketball. What program do you suggest?
@@MarkWildman thanks for responding. You rock btw, i lost 20 lbs in 24 wks and got a quite physical job despite being 51. Gradually moved up in weights etc, your training vids literally changed everything. Many thanks. Just got sore thumbs but I recently moved up to 16k and caned it too many days in a row.. :)
@@MarkWildman I thought you didn't like the sabre grip? ;) I would rather mess up my teeth than my thumbs to be honest but i guess with moderate weight and low reps the risk is fairly low. How heavy would you go on this variation? Thank you for engaging, I really appreciate these videos. The pedagogy is up there with the best I've seen.
Clarification. I was not advocating saber grip. Just.., use your thumbs. Wrap them around the bell. I keep seeing people doing this without actually using their thumbs. It should be nearly impossible to drop it on your face but I guess anything is possible. Start light. I’ve trained up to 88 in the past. Anything above 70lbs gets pretty dicey and I do not recommend it
As a kettlebell nut and minimalist - love your content man. No BS. Respect.
thanks... i appreciate that
No BS indeed.
And he's wearing a shirt for christs sake! 😂
I found this channel about 6 months ago ....Im 51 and this has changed my whole outlook on fitness in general.GREAT CONTENT !
Your commentary is great, Mark! "If you're straining your neck, figure out how not to", "If it hurts, do it better", and my favorite "Don't do that." We need merch for the last one and if you haven't considered being a life coach, you should.
Good idea man
Or the one advising lighter weights "kettlebells are cheap, surgeries are expensive"
Bit late to the commentary, but i learned that if I push my tongue to roof of mouth you cannot or at least reduce strain your neck from flexion
"If your arm hurts, you're not doing it right, figure it out" 😂
Great stuff. Looking forward to adding these to my program. Thanks for sharing.
Really Great Video Mark. Thank You! Please Keep 'em coming!
Excellent instructional video!
Thanks a ton!
Thank you for shout to the pilates community we need it now more than ever ! Always wonderful safe, smart, clear content !!.
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’. Keep Mark on a roll man. Good stuff.
I'm glad i foud this channel... Just Great in every aspect! Thanks mr Wildman!
He's like the hero we don't deserve but so desperately need 😂
Awsome, lookon forward for part 2

scarred10 for this particular exercise I see your point. However, fundamental kettlebell exercises are all compound movements - the basic 6 movements.
it is a one joint exercise... but your comment shows you don't know the point of the movement... and therefore don't know shit about kinesiology either... so.. we agree to disagree

By Jove Wildman, you have done it again !
Thanks for the workout...
Nice exercise - did something similar with dumbbells and by alternating hands.
Great teacher if technique.
As lockdown came gyms are closed by us i started kettleblling at home. from all youtube i consider your videos the best content.very clear applicable useful and direct tothe point. thanks and greetings from Slovakia :)
I’ll keep making them if you keep watching them
thanks mark
Will definitely try it.. tanks
Excellent!

Love this.

Mark,
Could you make a video talking about a weekly work out split.
Appricate your videos.
a voice popped in my head doing swings this morning.... "Do it MORE better."
I would have said, "more-rer better-rer. But I quibble.😉
Great Content Mark! If you get time could you do a short video on what you think best exercises/equipment are for grappling? Thank you
that's a huge series of videos. i'll start making a list
@@MarkWildman Thank you it's much appreciated
Love watching you. This has given me new ways to work out. Do you have some sit up exercises. This is my trouble stop after having a C section. Thank tou
There is a whole series of these sit-ups with kb, club, plates and med balls.
I got here cuz YT recommended it. I'm staying cuz it is recommendable. NO BS pointers. That's wassup.
As with all his videos, you first start with a like and then you watch.
Mark, is there a reason why you use the heavy clubs from amazon and not onnit? Really enjoy and have learned so much from your training videos. Thanks for the great content.

When was the last time you saw an athletic video and the subject was actually wearing a shirt. Very professional
Collar 50:50. Contraversial... Just had a glass of wine but going to give this a shot, the KB movement not the 50:50 collar. Thanks as always man
That collar boss as fuck.
Question: I think I remember from the Simple and Sinister book that Pavel discourages slouching/flexion after swings. How would you sequence this exercise and would it count anyway as the back is flat and supported by the floor?
What about the scapula position during the whole movement, retracted back and down?
I get a lot more out of pullovers if I don’t take the motion all the way to the stomach but instead at more of a 45 degree angle to keep constant tension. And if I use a kettlebell I prefer to grab from the sides vs the handle which also creates more chest tension.
all good ideas
Good stuff Mark, start weight suggestions?
16 for me. but go as light as you need to keep the ribs down.
Mark, what’s the mental cue for the scapula during the movement? Assuming scapula should be pulled back and down?
did I miss the rep/set recommendation or when to move on to the next progression?
Now I know how to do these correctly
💪♥️
Random question, what type of boots are you wearing? Are they comfortable for running? I have been looking for a good pair that I can wear and workout in and you appear to be a guy that would know. Appreciate your insight and thank you for sharing your knowledge on your UA-cam channel.
5.11 boots. 8 inch. can't remember the name
@@MarkWildman Thank you sir.
@@MarkWildman Thank you sir.

I didn’t talk about it specifically yet but yes. Leverage training (adding in clubs) helps people address this stuff.
Ooh kettlebell lats.
Latimus dorsi, serratus anterior. These are crucial to the health of the shoulder girdle when moving heavy weight.
My weak ass core thanks you. 🥰
What is the functional benefit to this movement? I wish he explained that other than the point of the exercise is to "resist extension".
Jeff Santos lats, abs, chest
learning good body mechanics, e.g. you don’t want to be overextended during pressing
learning to stay tight for grappling... and all those things these other fine people said
It sounds as if you are using the Pressure Breath used for climbing at altitude.
Just for tension, or also for optimal oxygen?
both
so this is also a lat exercise right...? i thought i seen the guy from swing this kettlebell and strength doing this with 2 16kg bells using a false grip
Part two link??
U make it look so light lol
Hi Mark. I am 46 yrs old, in pretty decent shape and just ordered a 35lb kettlebell. I play a lot of basketball (my first love). My goal is to get stronger and better athletic movements for basketball. What program do you suggest?
coming next week. trying to make it smaller
Mark Wildman sweet! Can’t wait!
Does this still engage the lats at all? I did some this morning but didn't feel as much lat engagement as I would have liked.
Should this be an EMOM or should it have a constant 1 min break?
Question, what actual beginner kettlebell workout would you recommend?
writing it up now... just one section of it is a year long.... so... its taking a min
Awesome just bought my first kettlebell, a 35 lb beauty
Does this also work the lats ?
Where did you get those boots from? I need a pair!
5.11 8 inch desert boots
I was afraid you would do once more with the plate @5:40 and hit your head to the kb 😵😨
If I get really good with kettlebells will my collars start popping like that as well? :P
only if the kettlebell gods favor you
dammit I lost the IG live today
does it matter if you use a kettle bell or free weights? i could go buy one i suppose, but if i have a free weight... thanks
Use anything you won’t drop on your face
Would this exercise help with "rib flare"?
The point is to help that
Is it normal to feel it also in the lower back?
you need to use your abs more. your ribs are probably flaring
@@MarkWildman Got it, thank you
Is this exercise good for lower abs ?
By the way...Very nice videos !
I had to stop doing this because all 16k on my thumbs starting giving me problems.. ☹️
You should be doing club training as well.
Sounds like your grip isn’t developed enough yet in the thumb pad part of your hand, cross training with clubs is the path
@@MarkWildman thanks for responding. You rock btw, i lost 20 lbs in 24 wks and got a quite physical job despite being 51.

Is your name really Wildman?
It's a great exercise, but I can't get around the risk of dropping the bell on your teeth. The AB-Wheel is just safer.
Use your thumbs.
