Thank you for the detail! I just started your 3 exercises for overweight people a couple of weeks ago. I'm up to 10 sets of 5 with a 15 lb. kettlebell. I also have the Adex clubs and I'm up to 10 sets of 5 with 5 pounds. I'm already seeing improvement in lower back strength with less pain and my tight hips are loosening up. I'm a 52-year old male at 255 pounds. I spend most of my days behind a desk. My desk will raise into a standing position, but I find my back and hips hurting after an hour or so. I hope these exercises will help me become more active with no pain.
"Often people get hurt when they get to the last rep and put it down weird. Don't put it down weird." I FEEL ATTACKED LOL (but it's fantastic advice, thanks Mark)
I've been doing these for about 20 months now. Love this detailed video. I'll be ready for intro to kettlebell soon. Target weight is 50 lbs! Almost there!
When I learned this move over a decade ago, they taught a good technique to assure good form. Put a kettlebell on both sides and lower to both symmetrically, and then only lift one. This makes you keep everything equal, no twisting or uneven shoulders. You can also do alternating sets instantly, say 3 left, 3 right with no need to reconfigure the starting position.
Wait a minute. Are we not going to acknowledge the fact that the shirt is not out of the wildman "collection"? Tis neither a t shirt, nor black, and there isn't a single clubbell on it. I am baffled.
It's a nice shirt though. I wear that style all the time for work actually LOL.. but wait, are those TRUE CLASSIC pants? (my weird attempt at humor -- I always get those TRUE CLASSIC commercials where the boss wants to fire Johnson because he's seemingly attracted to Jimson who is by all accounts a dumber twin of Johnson LOL)
Yep. I went to the physical therapist for knee issues a couple of months after I started the program from the first exercises for deconditioned individuals video, and my PT looked at my workout plan after the evaluation and said, "Well, there's only one other exercise I want you to add. You're already doing all the others I was ging to recommend." Also, that was the day I learned that knee issues aren't always knee problems.
What was the other exercise that your PT added? Did it involve Thera band around your legs and doing side steps in a half squat or or laying on your side, doing clamshells with your legs? Just pure guessing based on my experience is with PT.
I'm reminded I used to do Kettlebell Side Bends watching the explanation for this exercise. I know some don't think it does anything but I always felt something doing it LOL
I wonder as a fix too stop knees unconsciously collapsing medially is to use resistance band around them so your consciously keeping the knees apart to the correct position.
6:00 Please consider solutions for people with overweight baggage. If you fly somewhere to work for a couple of months and want to bring your Kbs club mace along (depending on class & airline) it is worth paying overweight instead of shipping. Thinking of a duffle for the mace and a 32Kg box with wheels for Kb & club
This caught my eye because I don't really have access to heavy weights for traditional deadlifts. I am having trouble with the movement pattern though. It feels (and probably looks) more like I am doing a squat. Any tips?
Hi Mark! Since we seem to have come to the unilaterally loaded deadlift portion of the Basic KB exercises series, I'd like to request you to please do detailed technique videos on the Single arm-Single leg KB RDL movement family (& its variations, like the B-stance RDL) -- There is a lot of confusion & non-standardization w.r.t. this movement. Should we hold the KB in the same hand as the rising leg, or in the opp. hand (i.e. same side as the stance leg)? Should/Can the stance leg bend at the knee, or not? How much? We're supposed to hinge at the hip, but this is more difficult to do, imagine & feel with one leg on the ground... How high should we raise the non-stance leg? For the B-stance RDL, how far behind the main stance leg should the kickstand/balance leg be placed? I, for one, even after watching a ton of YT videos on these, still haven't got the hang of these exercises mainly because the instructions are either incomplete, or confusing, or at times even contradictory (several 'experts' say things opposite of each other!)... This has caused me to basically give up on these, as I tend to feel these movements less in the target muscles (glutes, hammies) & more in my lower back -- which is not great -- and which is a pity as these movements are great for building strength & stability! These are relatively simple movements/exercises which I don't think you have covered previously (at least not in this series - Basic KB Exercise series) - and I think these do qualify as 'basic KB' exercises... Maybe you can cover them all in a single video; or maybe break them up into multiple individual videos -- whatever you see fit... Hoping to get detailed instructional videos on these, Mark... Thanks for all you do, Mark! Have a good 'un!
Hello from France on Bastille Day. Thanks for the great content, as always. A question in passing: what is your take on the Bullworker ? Useful or a waste of time ?
Would it be possible (beneficial) to combine this exercise with short walks, alternating sides along the way? During the three or so years I’ve been following your channel, I don’t recall ever seeing you in anything but a black tee shirt or your special jacket. This is a nice look!
We have entire series of programs called nerd math. We explain this in detail helping people build five-year program is based on how much equipment they have how much time they have, and what their outcome needs are.
Asymmetrical loading causes like 3 to 4 times the stress has symmetrical loading. So you’re going to get more core activation with a 20 pound weight to one side, then you would with a pair of 30-40 lbs(60-80). So your training should include some asymmetrical work, because when you do things in the real world, like carrying a child, a suitcase or tools, you tend to do it in one hand, so you can open doors with the other.
This has become my primary deadlift over the last few months. I have to go with a barbell because using a dumbbell with removable plates is to to wide and makes my knee move excessively. Also the weight coming down that close to my toes makes me nervous!😂
It's incorrect to make such blanket statements.If your feet turn out or in, it may have more to do with the angle of the head of the femur and how shallow or deep the hip socket is. The important thing is getting on and doing the exercise in a way that doesnt cause you pain.
Intelligent training patterns, and not a muscle shirt or tattoo in sight. I have great respect for Mr. Wildman .
The thing I like about this guy is that there is no BS prior to the demo. He goes straight into it. Every minute your given excellent instruction.

We released a program based on the idea
Mark, What type of grip should you maintain with the deadlift and with carries?? Obviously, two similar but different exercises.
Sorry
Excellent
Standing desk tip - put a small stool in front of you and take turns resting one foot on it. I've found that this helps prevent lower back pain.
Thanks Mark, your videos are the most helpful and useful on UA-cam. Simple tools, get outside, kill the gym. We were created to live outside.
Well said
haven’t watched one of Mark’s videos in about a year..looks like he definetly put on a lot of mass in year👍🏽👍🏽
"Often people get hurt when they get to the last rep and put it down weird. Don't put it down weird." I FEEL ATTACKED LOL (but it's fantastic advice, thanks Mark)
These have been part of my regimen for years and Wildman always delivers. Thanks!
Started cycle 2 of your deconditioned program and going over this to make sure my form is good. It's such a great program, this old girl thanks you.

Awesome! Happy to see the new kettlebell videos. Always enjoyed your videos and instruction. Thanks!!!
This is my favourite kind of deadlift
Always the best explanations. V comprehensive. Really appreciate it. Getting tips here that others miss. Listen up!
Thanks Mark. You and Dan John are great sources for exercise. We must also focus on nutrition.
Wildman definitely embodying the ethos. Dude looks like he lifts trucks up singlehanded to look for his keys.
You think he looks like he lifts trucks? You don’t see a great many large, strong humans I take it.
😂
@@Invictus13666he looks like a healthy strong man.
@@dmitryivanov9026 Didn’t say he didn’t. Maybe take a class in reading comprehension before you come at me, kiddo.
@@Invictus13666 stop saying this odd shit, old man. Have you collected enough money for a coffin?
Thank you ur a v good teacher who breaks things up. I love that you teach how to target specific areas and functional fitness ....all the best
For the price point these are a very well made kettlebell. No imperfections and feels great in the hand.
Wait a minute. Are we not going to acknowledge the fact that the shirt is not out of the wildman "collection"? Tis neither a t shirt, nor black, and there isn't a single clubbell on it. I am baffled.

Mr Wildman keeping it classy in a cool summer casual shirt… will we ever see him “putting on a leggy display” in season appropriate pants though??
@@maxpower8052 😅😅 I was so baffled by the shirt I did not even see the pants
He’s hiding a pregnancy. Don’t tell anyone.

Mark is awesome.
Simple and effective, unlike most content from "influencers"
that was very helpful spending time on correct foot positioning - key.
Thanks again for the details
Thank you, for all this information 👍
One of the best on UA-cam and It just popped up for me. New subscriber
There’s about 1000 videos. Pick a topic and run a playlist. I try to be as comprehensive as possible
nice hand movements. Mark you would be great as a mime or the robot dance. really detailed instructions. thanks
I wonder as a fix too stop knees unconsciously collapsing medially is to use resistance band around them so your consciously keeping the knees apart to the correct position.
Would it be advisable to roll on the balls of your feet at the top if your goal is to train for hiking in mountainous terrain?
would holding something light with the other hand be a good cue for keeping the shoulders straight?
Mark, What type of grip should you maintain with the deadlifts as well as with carries? Obviously two similar exercises but different.
My man 💯🤌🏼

Use this to build toward kb swings, then cleans

Hello from France on Bastille Day.
Thanks for the great content, as always.
A question in passing: what is your take on the Bullworker ? Useful or a waste of time ?
The NOMAD has a clothing malfunction or some one gave him a rather nice shirt ! ROCK ON. ! ! !
i have sub to you and hit the bell
occasionally I do this move between each side of my TGUs to move the bell to the other side.
How much rest between sets of 3-5 reps?
What does it mean "kettlebell 56"? Number, kgs, lbs? Confusing.
Mark - amazing content. How does one incorporate this into your kettlebell swing program that I bought.
Warmup or different day.
Would it be possible (beneficial) to combine this exercise with short walks, alternating sides along the way?
During the three or so years I’ve been following your channel, I don’t recall ever seeing you in anything but a black tee shirt or your special jacket. This is a nice look!
Yes. Dan John calls this the suitcase carry. He is a big proponent of loaded carries which this would be one.
@@themanwithnoname7957 thanks
I like how you just look like a normal guy, it's refreshing
I am a normal guy.
Dan John talks about Farmers carries/walks. Do you ever do these? As far as workman’s exercises I’m surprised you don’t have a video for it.
I don’t do them a lot but they are excellent. Double deadlift to box step up works better for most people with limited space.
How the F are you not at 1M subscribers?!?!
Not flashy enough.
So how many do we do?
We have entire series of programs called nerd math. We explain this in detail helping people build five-year program is based on how much equipment they have how much time they have, and what their outcome needs are.
When are they going to fit heavy kettlebells with wheels, like all suitcases now have? 😉
ah hell I was going to start with my 32 kg bell....! But I am not de-conditioned.
❤MW
“What’s a suitecase”?
Couldn't you do this with two bells?

Try a 5 gallon bucket of water and walk; accomplish something in the process; this is how I water my tomatoes
Don’t put it down weird.
