His descriptive precision is a hallmark of his style. I'm amazed how he never gets tired of saying the same things every video - but it's really good instruction that way.
@@dtw4326 Probably does. I teach accounting. I have similar quirks...I mean, techniques...of saying the same things over and over again so (ideally) it sinks in for my students. Accountants and engineers have a lot of similarities, I've noticed.
I love how Wildman explains the 'why' of cues, like "shift back into your heels IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE USING YOUR HAMSTRINGS." That kind of simple, brief explains are missing from so many other gurus. They either omit it, or they blab it to death and our ears lose the message.
UPS driver here: can confirm this type of exercise is perfect for loading and unloading trucks. Also, I need a tattoo on my forearm that says SQUEEZE YOUR GLUTES PULL YOUR KNEECAPS UP BREATHE BEHIND THE SHIELD FIRE YOUR LATS
The timing of this video was just perfect: I am now positively sure about buying a 16, 24 and 32 kg kettlebell. Also, very well explained! Thanks, man!
Mark!...I'm loving the outdoor and "farmboy" training vids. I get to live vicariously for a few minutes watching you... Wishing so much that I could do the same in some way, and just run away to open spaces, and quieter places to work/ play for a while. Thanks for that gift, on TOP of the amazing instruction videos! Expert as always. We are so grateful.
This is great, the (easy) deadlift is a great cue to reset your position properly between the (harder) rows. I've caught my back position getting compromised during long sets of just rows.
Same. Dude at work can deadlift 312lb but he has trouble carrying 90lb ribs (2 cases) at once. Meanwhile, I cant squat or deadlift double-digits, but can bearhug carry a 100lb. stone 70-yards (210ft) and back. Function baby lessgooo
Function is everything. My son wants to wrestle this winter and asked me what to do. He is a strong swimmer, but his lower body has terrible mobility. He is strong in upper body lifts, too. I surprised him with two Wildmann exercises: 80lb sandbag cleans and just squatting to a cinder block. He hates me, but he will be better for it.
There are so many exercises and combinations you can do with Kettlebells that at the end of the day i don't even know what to choose LoL. I wish you you are going to sell an e-book soon!
I really like this one, but I believe it's not adaptable to DBs. Unfortunately my gym does not have KBs... Would like to include it like i already have your one DB deadlift. It's an awesome exercise, legs, back, obliques, balance, grip, not to mention the metabolic rush I feel after sets of 20 reps or 40:20 EMOMs. It's freaking great! Thank you!
My recent real world workout was messing around with 4 80lb & 2 50lb bags of concrete! Loading them at the store, rolling them to my car, loading from the cart to the trunk, then from the trunk carried around to the side of my house, not to mention just handling them to open and pour. Real world functional strength is useful! 👍🏽
Most KB exercises which are unilateral (single KB, one-handed) are pretty much full-body, that's why they are so effective. You could probably switch off the frontalis muscle (the muscle which raises the eyebrows ;), and still perform this movement effectively. If you're "new to KBs", I'll save you some time, start with the basic movements, do exactly what Mark says and you won't care about the answer to this question. Good luck.
"workman's deadlift" -- exactly. "thumbs into armpits: -- perfect cue. One suggestion -- wear a lighter colored top so that we can see the subtle alignments of your elbows, etc. When you wear that fuzzy light-absorbing black, it's hard to see the nuances.
Could we make this a more dynamic movement? By doing the hand-to-hand change at the top of the row and then alternating hands for each one? Maybe that's going too many steps ahead or something... I'm hearing what you're saying about the real world application part. Stuff is almost sitting around and needing to be moved and that's what we're training. I'm just thinking about alternatives I guess 🤔
Ok, man. When are you coming out with a book with all these variants? My bookmarks are getting a bit unruly and I feel like in addition to supporting you with merch, why not add a book? I get that the app is coming but it is taking a while.
Hey Mark. What is a general rule of thumb for upgrading from a 24kg KB to a 32kg KB? What medium numbers does one aim at for the main movements (swing, snatch, press, row, squat, circles, etc.)?
True, that’s why Mark said in the beginning of the video that KB deadlifts generally aren’t as effective as barbell deadlifts so, to get more from the exercise since you may only have one kettlebell or your kettlebells may not be very heavy, you add the row in and perform the exercise for time ... because in the real world you are slinging 50-70 pound bags of something or other into your truck at Home Depot, not DL 550 pounds once ... this is all something MW said in one word .... ‘sigh’
With limited access to weights right now, I’ve been loving these combo exercises. What kind of “nerd math” would you recommend for doing this with a lighter weight?
I would think simillar to squats with volume cycles. 6 sets of 5/5 working up to 20 sets. Just an educated guess. Hopefuly MW would like to shed some light 💡.
Leaning against the weight helps force the lat to fire. To do THAT your back has to be straight, which will protect your lower back. In addition, this is done with relatively light weight which will also protect your back some
Not relevant to this video specifically, but have you seen anything related to The KneesOverToes Guy? I know you've mentioned in previous videos your knee surgeries and injuries and was curious if you've looked at it and had any thoughts.
Mark this might be a really dumb question but why does a kb snatch seem easier than a kb clean?? I usually practice from the dead position cause for whatever reason a a swing makes the movement harder?? Am i doing something wrong?
If it's harder with a swing, (depending on the weight you're using of course) your core is probably not firing and you're initiating the move with the shoulders. That will only get you so far until you hit the wall and can't go heavier.
