Just started this program. Really good. Clear instructions. I think it’s sensible to master each stage before moving to the next. To move to quickly through the program would be a mistake.
4:50 for disc golf, this hip snap is the fundamental base behind a backhand throw(for my form). For a disc golf specific movement, pause at 4:50 and move your back leg behind you, in line with your back and your toe resting on the ground. If you can do this with a light weight, you can use the same motion to throw big distance on a hyzer tilt.
Thank you a lot Mark for your serious and dedicated approach for teaching. Clubs swinging is my New Year 2024 focus, I just finished my first set of handmade clubs and now I'm following your teaching you did a great job assembling it all together, thank you a lot!
I like these breakdowns and building up step by step, makes for a good review of basics. Question, why no rotation of the foot and no lift of the heel with clubs when sports like kick boxing or base ball the power transfer would occur with lift and rotation? Is it a matter of power leakage?
This is strength training. That is sports specific technique. 2 different things General physical preparedness Sport specific preparedness Activity specific preparedness All different things.
Loving this new series ! @Mark if I've been doing mostly 1h club for the last year or so, should I start 2h club training with this series or wait for the basis of strength program ? Thanks again.
Thanks Mark ! I'm just trying to save money for the time being. Bought clubs, kbs and most of the programs you've put out. Going to give my wallet a break 😆
Took my dumb self two videos to figure out why the bandanna was on the bumper. The truck looks like it could be an extra in Road Warrior. Even though I have the Mill Squat program, I still watch these videos--I tend to pick up a new cue with more exposure.
Great coaching as always. I think that you accidentally put this video on the kettlebell training playlist instead of the recent "Kettlebell 36" video.
Question: Alternate timing for Mill Squat program. I have some elbow issues so I would like to stay longer than normal at each weight before moving up. However, I get bored if I do more than 6 workouts at each level. After completing 6 workouts at all three levels using a 30 seconds on/off protocol, would it make sense to do 60 seconds on/off and do 2 rounds each workout instead of 4 rounds to keep the workout at 20 minutes. Or is there another timing protocol you would recommend?
When I was sticking with same weight for longer I'd push the work time while keeping the rest period at 30 ( secs ) to a max of 60secs. This did mean that the workout would vary from 20mins - 30mins. The extra TUT kept a challenge going until next weight. 30/30 .... 45/30 ...... 60/30
Hi Mark, I appreciate the ethos of slow progress through multi-year training as an investment for my old age - I'd like to get there with some vigour and a sturdy frame that can continue to support me. I'm in my fifties and have had lifelong lumbar scoliosis. It's not extreme but my shoulders and hips don't align over each other. I can do load carries, for example, but long-distance kayaking was difficult because of the rotation. I'd like to try heavy club work, but are there any contraindications for situations like mine? Yours ever, Hamish.
What a good teaser, And you say you are bad at business. I cannot wait to give you my money for Basis of Strength! Question: at the stop of the swing, should the outside leg be straight?
@@MarkWildman oops, meant to say *top* of the swing and I’m probably confusing inside and outside leg. So, to clarify, same leg as the bottom hand should be straight at *top* of the swing and both bent (one more than the other) at the bottom/stop? After a 2nd and 3rd watch, I think you covered it. Thanks, Coach!
In some previous videos, Mark has kettlebell inside circles, outside circles, pendulums, side cleans, etc. So you can definitely use a kettlebell in this plane of motion. It's just harder because they are in general heavier, and they are wider so there's more chance of smacking your own leg with them. It can be done but clubs are easier. Also, those kettlebell side motions are all one-handed as I recall. With two hands you get more rotation and potentially more improvement because of that. So it's something to keep in mind. But I definitely get what you're saying about acquiring equipment. 😁
I don't think so, everything Grant said and I'd go further, take with a grain ! I had 16kg side to side swings / circles etc in a workout and quickly dropped them before I lost a toe. Never felt comfortable or safe! Also remember leaning slightly forward to allow clearance, lower back issues possible. I'm guessing you haven't tried them maybe? If the starting clubbell weight recommendation is 10-15lbs for movements in the frontal plane, then clearly a 35lbs bowling ball is asking for trouble ( you could be much more advanced but point would still apply for someone starting off I reckon ). A starting kg weight would be 4-6kg, why not get a club as that kb weight isn't much use elsewhere. The kb grip also is problematic as it's perpendicular and can shift around a bit e.g. through a circle's arc, add sweat to that for an extended session. In comparison, the clubbell grip is like an extension of your own natural arm lever, just lends itself to these movements. Having said all that I really like some kb exercises in this plane that Mark has done e.g the figure 8 to uppercut ; Inside / outside dead clean series. The difference with those exercises is there is a dead stop followed by a reset i.e. the control should always be there ( versus knocking out multiple ballistic reps around your knees / feet etc ), you prepare for each rep mentally, and with the clean especially the weight can be ramped up. Obviously it all depends on a persons skill / strength profile as well.
@@MarkWildman simplest and easiest might be just to treat it like a tip jar. I think there are enough people who might just be happy to pay a couple of bucks a month as a thank you. I don't know that you would necessarily need to have exclusive content for Patreon members, although that is something you could investigate. Another option that I've seen other TH-cam creators do is early access. So the same stuff that you'll eventually be posting on the main TH-cam channel but posting it to Patreon members first. Depending on your workflow and how many videos backlog you might be able to have, that's a possibility.
@@MarkWildman You're monetized right? You should have the option to enable tips / Thank Yous on your videos. Although I think TH-cam gets a 30% cut. I think KoFi takes less of a cut & is great for one time tips. If you had a Patreon, besides early access, one of the benefits could be people who donate at a certain level can join you in a live hangout once a month where you basically answer questions & shoot the shiznit over a zoom call. Another perk could be access to your notes, especially in regards to programming. Just a few ideas, hope it helps.
I cannot find words to thank You, Mark!!!
Loving this series. I’m working these drills to be ready for the new program release.
Can't wait for the program release! I'll be following along and practicing this series so I'll be ready 💪🤘
Wow really great instructions Mark. I had been missing out on these side to side swings
Surprisingly helpful movement thank you. Appreciating the potential for more symmetry from this starting position 👍.

Are you turning them on a lathe
Thanks Mark, came back to review this move as I wanted to look at the hip snap again. Think I've got it now back to the practice. Love your work 👋👋👋

You gotta love clubs 😁
nothing else does what they do

start with this. basis of strength will have most of this stuff in there. though they are different learning/teaching techniques.

🤦🏻♂️ just figured it out myself
I get more out of each video everytime I watch. I'm sure I've watched some of them a dozen times!
I also rewatch the videos every now and then and it helps.
if you watch the videos and do the programs you will know more than almost any trainer you might every encounter.
Thanks!

I’ll will correct that
This dude get showered with Likes all the time but for good reasons. Wildman!

One side of my back feel way more pump than the other after trying this

on the stop at the bottom the outside leg should not be straight.

I think he says that because of the sheer amount of info he has given for free on the TH-cam here
Amazing content where can you purchase the adjustable club?
Adex mace and club
I have a number of KB but have avoided swings to the side. Am I mistaken? Yet more training tools gets expensive.

I usually stick swing to the side in clubs. But you can certainly do them with kettlebells

Pardon me but doesn’t it make sense to pull with the higher hand instead of pushing?

Mark my shoulders complain a bit when I'm doing this swing. Do we keep them glued down and back for the whole swing?
