I love you everyday Mr Wildman. When i practice my kettlebells. My clubs. My mace. My Thai boxing stance. My ju jitsu moves. Every fucking day. Been following you for more than 2 years now. Listening to every word you say. You are my hero. And one day I will make you proud.
Ive been doing this since the the overweight individuals exercises videos and I started with 10lbs. Last summer i was at 17.5lbs. Today I'm swinging 27.5lbs. Thank you MW and Adex!
Brilliant. Love how nothing really changes, the principles are always the same. People who are very good at something because they do whatever it is all of the time. No dabbling/switching from this to that.
Mills and circles make the club much more versatile. You can do shield casts and 360s with the club too. Although nothing really gets the body sore like mace 360s. I only do the two but if pressed would switch to only club.
I can keep my elbow tucked, but I guess I have t-rex arms because my elbow can't touch my hip when I'm standing up. In that 90' position, my elbow is landing on the side of my rib cage. Am I doing something wrong?
I like your question since 'm in the same position. If it is theoretically possible to do, then I probably have upper body tightness like in the traps and/or mobility deficits in the spine or shoulder area I'm guessing.
@@maxpower8052 If I just stand & let my arms hang down, my elbow is barely any closer to my hip. It's basically at the end of my rib cage where my love handles start. My hip is about 5 inches below that. I feel like I'm missing something obvious here.
I think he means top of iliac crest, rather than hip socket. I needed to bring my hand lower when I got my form checked (I thought I had a good 90deg but no). If your shoulders are definitely down, hand is low enough and both glutes&abs are on, then chances are you're pinning elbow to a good spot. We were asked to hold in order position for long periods of time between swings.....that defo helps everyone figure out how to rest your elbow onto the pelvis to prevent fatigue 😊
Back pain (and pain in general) is a multifactorial, so-called biopsychosocial phenomena and is NOT caused by "lack of muscle firing" etc. That does NOT mean, however, that strengthening or movement exercises dont work for back pain - it just means that exercise is a fabulous way to modulate pain and to desensitize your nervous system.
You probably aren’t aware of this but there is a deeper pain that you only feel through your spine. That is what people call back pain. Not a normal body ache that happens to be in your back (what you seem to be talking about). This pain is directly related to your muscle development. As someone whose back has been going out on a 3-15 times a year basis since the age of 14, I can assure you, proper muscle development and consistent training is the only thing that keeps that particular pain from happening.
@@ashandrakqin7645 Hey friend! Sorry to hear about your back. Im a physical therapist specialising in chronic back pain. I also have ankylosing spondylitis myself, so I can definitely relate! Movement is very important and effective for not only back pain, but all pain, but the reason is neurological, not muscle structural/postural. Pain is all about the nervous system - irrespective of whether there is tissue damage or not (95% of chronic back pain is non-specific, meaning there is no observable tissue damage, although the pain is clearly real). Pain science has moved away from the simplistic structural-postural model of pain and is nowadays all about the nervous system and how it is ruled by a huuuuuge combination of what we call biopsychosocial factors. We know that structure/posture/muscle strength has minimally to do with the causation of back pain. F ex, around 50% of 30 year olds WITH NO BACK PAIN has degenerated spines ("Systematic Literature Review of Imaging Features of Spinal Degeneration in Asymptomatic Populations" Brinjikji 2015). Consequently, we now call degeneration "wrinkles of the spine". My tip is to do some research f ex check out Greg Lehmans video clips here on TH-cam, you might be surprised about how resilient our spines are and how adaptable our bodies are when we just accept that for chronic pain the issue is rarely in the tissue. Again, training like Mark is awesome for pain, but not for the reason we might think.

Any development on Lats and Delts ?
In allot of videos I seen on how to use a club, he does it the best. Just by simple terms: push, swing, pull, catch. It’s not complicated love it
Brilliant. Love how nothing really changes, the principles are always the same. People who are very good at something because they do whatever it is all of the time. No dabbling/switching from this to that.
My teacher (Chen tai chi) says to me “do less, better!” I love it & that’s how I train.
You are wise men .Your presentation is amazing
The bit at the end especially I found was gold. Thank you Mark. See you in Italy.
Thank you for such an amazing depth of instruction and insight!
Beautiful location, and amazing instruction, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Mark. I'm really enjoying you tying club training into history, and how fundamental it is for humans.
Solid video!
Love the links to human history great work , Radom question if you don’t mind what loose leaf tea do you drink,
For sure 💪
golden!
Clubs more train rotation while macebell is more anti-rotation. I do a lot of macebell but I haven’t tried club bell. Looks like it would be fun.
For inside/outside circles (or even shield casts if your technique is good), just grab the mace in the middle.

Nice! Got 2 get a heavy club.
Skara Brae…..nice location!
Can't wait for the mill
Like the locations.
Used to work out with weights and my back was fine, got lazy and older doing the same physical job and my back hurts. I am getting steel clubs
I was only doing Push Pull Catch… but I was saying it out loud. Wrong, but aloud. ♣️⚒️
#PushSwingPullCatch
You can just tell that Mark is as strong as an ox!
Good morning sir, what weight do you recommend for an averagely strong male, and what brand?
Adex Wildman handle. 15 lb to start

@@utubepunk
+1 elbow also lines up with love handle/rib cage
I just keep my elbow close to my body and directly under my shoulder

How heavy is your club?
I think that's a 25# club.
Diggin' the quasi-Negan look 🤣
I’m guessing Mark is in Orkney?
I had no idea where he was but that seems to make sense to me
@@iChefTheImpossible Yeah, it's Orkney. Small Islands on the Norteast tip of Scotland. Serious Viking country.
I love swinging my maces! Where are you today? Looks like maybe Scandinavia?
I’m guessing Orkney, a formerly Norse kingdom.
@@hughcards Yep, that's Skara Brae. Pretty fitting given the subject matter.
You should be able to do more weight on an inside circle compared to an outside circle correct?
Incorrect
So your saying if you PRed inside and outside circles the numbers would be the same?
@@jackedwin9538 im saying they should be within a few percent of each other
What's up with the editing in in this one?
So choppy, pretty hard to watch
89% of world is Right Handed. 10% are left handed. 1% are ambidextrous.
Hey, Mark, did we miss the #2 video in this series?
It’s there.
@@MarkWildman OK, thanks.
skara brae?
Yes
@@MarkWildman Awesome! I hope you had a great time. It's a bucket list location for me.
🦾🦾
What I don’t get is that in ancient history, they didn’t have heavy clubs, clubs were made out of wood.
