I am repetitive - again, this is transformative stuff. From a guy who has tried every protocol and modality over 45+ years, this stuff is life changing whether you are 18 or 80. Well done Mark. Not many people are going to go back to a commercial gym when they can do these things at home
I remember hearing some other people making videos on the platform basically saying the frequency of their uploads directly impacts how often the algorithm recommends their videos to new people in their homefeed. It looks to be working for Mark here. I really hope he keeps a consistent uploaded schedule when the pandemic restrictions lifts. At least a bi-weekly upload schedule if it's possible for him around his other work commitments.
The biggest compliment I can give you is that for the last couple of months as I have developed my KB skills in lockup, the first thing I do every day when I log on in my home office is check to see if you've posted another video that I can watch and learn from. Cheers mate.
Brilliant, really appreciating the TGU vids. I started out March lockdown at 12kg and worked up too quickly to 20kg with wrist guards. Could do them but the first part arm wobbling, elbow, bending a bit and wrist bending. I decided to dial it back to 12kg, drop thw wrist guards and really concentrate on form rather than drop bell on my face, so these vids are excellent.
I’m working very hard on being able to do a proper TGU. I can get to the kneeling part but being 360 pounds makes that standing up the hardest part lol but I’m working on it.
Mark. Huge fan of your stuff. Changed my life and my way of looking at fitness. I have been looking at that SkiErg in the background of your vids for the past couple of years. Would love to see how you incorporate it into kettlebell workouts, if any?
I watched your warmup videos, so I could begin the training. I watched your swing and TGU videos so I could train. Now I just need a cool down video so I can stop training. 😅
After swings and press are complete for the day, I like to perform the frog stretch, half and full, and then follow with hip flexor stretch on both sides 2-4X, allow 30 seconds to length and relax the hamstring. After that spend some time doing the 90-90 stretch or you can pigeon stretch each side 2X for a minute. That should take about ten minutes and you can always add anything that feels good as well.
Probably somewhere better to ask or a video where you've already answered this, but is there a good dynamic KB or CB exercise for lower abs? Thanks. Great channel 👍
I keep getting this question. Simply put swings and snatches should fire your entire abdominal wall and it should be equally toned. Is that not happening? I’m not sure I understand the question
Where I come from it's "by accident". LOL Great stuff. Love this series. As someone with past shoulder injury I look forward to strengthening my shoulders.
Thanks for the upload ! Just a question : when doing the floor press, do we put the chest out and the scapula back just like a barbell bench press or do we let the shoulder in a "normal" position ? Thanks !
Packing the shoulder means using muscles to drive the shoulder in to it's socket for stability. I like Pavel's explanation from Enter the Kettlebell which I'll try to repeat here. Lie on the floor with your arms relaxed and get a friend to pull your arm gently towards the ceiling. Only the other shoulder will move and there will be a strecth between scaps. Now squeeze the arm to it's shoulder pocket so that when your friend now pulls your other arm, your shoulders are now an unit, so both of them lift when the other is pulled on. Hopefully my explanation makes sense.

Seeing that subs count getting bigger by the day makes me very happy for you Mark. Keep up the great work!

James M Are you guys still in lockdown? We’re pretty much back to normal here in Germany...
@@TheSwayzeTrain This algorithm works only for more views, not for subs.
I've been sloppy with my turkish get ups and I'm going to use this to get more familiar with those initial motions. Thanks!
I'm plugging it into tomorrows program because I to have been neglecting the details. Thank you Mark.

I did the same as you and feeling better for it!
Best kettlebell content on TH-cam by far!
Thank you.
Still getting the hang of my TGU's so this is going into the "To be worked on later" file.
Good stuff and thanks!
Thank you for this one. I can do these first steps but the one after this is more difficult for me. I’d love to see the follow up technique as well
thank you , is so fantastic to have this
Correct tool for the job...absolutely..mantra taught to me by my metal work teacher ..👍
Correct tool, correct exercise, correct instructor ! correct.
Great content. As always! Thank you for making me more better at TGU👍👍👍
Love your work!
I’m working very hard on being able to do a proper TGU. I can get to the kneeling part but being 360 pounds makes that standing up the hardest part lol but I’m working on it.
Good for you man! Maybe add some reverse lunges to help with that single leg push. Keep going!
Good luck. Just be consistent in your work - you'll get there.
You go bro!
Doing the kneeling presses. Floor press. 1/4 getups. 1/2 getups. Box squats and suitcase deadlifts

That thing is awesome. It transitions super fast and the heart rate demand is unparalleled
When I get back to mine, I’ll make videos.
Hell yeah looking forward to it! Cheers

Definitely doing this tommorow

What’s a good way to program this exercise? Sets reps

The term “packing” comes up w TGU at this point: packing the shoulder
Is this associated w remark about lats, heavy & light weights?

When you rolled away from the camera, we couldn't see your eyes. It actually looked like your were taking your eyes off the kettle bell.
How does this relate to an armbar? Maybe less emphasis on the pec stretch? Engaging the lat while doing simmilar exercises changes your life...
I turn off the volume during TH-cam ads!
