Heavy Club Half Kneeling 2 hand Shield Cast - Fix back problems you didn't know you had

[@peterjwilson]

just got my first clubs sent from the USA to South Africa. They are kicking butt at only 15lbs (all I could get online). These videos are extremely helpful and have revolutionized the way I work at in my aging years.

[@michaelsenft3608]

I’ll keep saying it - Mark, you are so clinical, so practical, so knowledgeable. People - pay attention to what Mark is saying about hips, core, stability, connectivity. It’s the essence of biomechanics that so many instructors don’t understand, can’t communicate. Great job

[@nandobreiter4075]

So I had a chance to try this now with an 8kg club and a 12kg club, and it seems clear from my experience that this isolates some weak core muscles that likely contribute to, or are the source of, my problems with the lunge. I also tried a halo in the lunge position, and lateral core muscles were struggling in the same way that they do when I try the lunge. So I now have a better starting point. Thanks! I also fully relate to the "everybody has structural problems" statement, and it was an eye opener to hear you describe how your focus is to ameliorate them with kbs and clubs. My structural problems are slowly becoming more evident to me as i try each exercise you present, so I'd describe the whole series of videos you've posted in the past months as Fix Problems You Didn't Know You Had. :-)

[@mosukiton]

I fucking love these videos man. They're so informative and I especially like how you ground the movements in history too

[@SpindlyScoundrel]

There're no other club resources on KZbin that match up to this content....keep em coming!

[@etilrets]

Dear Mark, Fantastic!!! This is one of your best videos just like that snatch break down video!!! I can relate this with my own hip weakness. Thank You so much 🙏

[@ledmikizeppelin]

Thanks for all the videos Mark , I really appreciate it. Greetings from Serbia

[@MarkWildman]

welcome my serbian friend.

[@Easyermoney]

Mark, I love the way you explain things and make it so that people, like me, who are new to this form of exercise can understand it. Keep up the good work!

[@kelleewarren1996]

This is another one!! The algorithm is working great for me, 😂. So good. It's really important to tilt and lock. This rocks! I hit a certain age last fall, so had to start with the 5lb/10lb clubs (I have no shame because I really don't want to hurt more than I already do), but whew! Good move for any cross body imbalance/weakness (hip/shoulder/core).

[@christinagipperich2780]

This is a great break down of not only the exercise but also the movement patterns involved. Well done!

[@ScuderiaFormulaOne]

Wow! Going to plug this into my program. Thank you from Baltimore!! Seems like this will work for light and heavy days too!

[@giatonpeonta8071]

thanks for the more detailed answer about the knee on the ground!

[@MarkWildman]

was that for you?. i loose the comments and make notes but glad it helped. there will be lots of these in the kneeling position. you'll love the hunters squat stuff coming up.

[@giatonpeonta8071]

@@MarkWildman looking forward!

[@HonestMan98]

This also known as gama cast made famous by Indian wrestler known the great gama. Great variation of this movement is doing it on the knees. Thanks Mark!

[@TheSwayzeTrain]

Sounds like a character name from Dragonball.

[@etilrets]

I guess Gamma cast goes in both directions alternatively. In shield cast its one direction only. MW can confirm

[@MarkWildman]

we call the gama cast the alternating version of this. so it would be opposite ear, same side ear, opposite ear etc. that is slightly more advanced as the same side circle can be much harder on the shoulder girdle. but good eye. you could call this a single direction gama

[@conorfarrell6192]

Best channel on Y Tube!!

[@VladiDusil]

Another great video from Mark. If only there were clubs available anywhere, I'd get on this routine asap. Also, PSA. Don't whack your knee with a KB when you do outside swings, it f***ing hurts.

[@MarkWildman]

hahahahahaha...... (yes,.. it does hurt. very very much). heal up

[@davidjordonmiller9686]

Vladimir, you able to find a club bell yet? If not, I made my own out of scrap metal from work and wrapped it with foam and duct tape for some protection; you could probably make your own out of better materials than what I have.

[@maricarpedrosa2011]

Good morning! How are you doing today? Would I get the same benefits if I use kettleball instead of the club? only because i don’t have a club. Thank you.

[@richardcaro3368]

Once again I would definitely pay a membership fee for this channel! Awesome Thank you

[@rayrock23]

This was incredibly useful and informative

[@jamesbennett3253]

Had to try this straight away, shaking all over now, amazing exercise

[@delis4256]

would you achieve a similar result with kettlebell kneeling halos?

[@MarkWildman]

and you guessed the next video.

[@bluearctik3980]

My Adex Arc club arrives tomorrow! Any chance there’s a Tetris of club training video coming?

[@a.lame.username.]

Epic! Thank you.

[@calebharris322]

I also see exercises in the full kneeling position. What would the utility of this be? And is it worth incorporating?

[@MarkWildman]

100% yes. i like that people are starting to predict the variations

[@sambsialia]

Good good good stuff

[@edmond0073]

Mark can we do this kneeling version with a single arm shield / Gama cast ?

[@theIdeaSensei]

This can be done with a kettlebell right? I don't have a heavy club.

[@bto330]

Hey Mark, what are some of your favorite club exercises that include a squat or lunge (i.e. a new squat/lunge with each rep rather than remaining in the lunge position as in this vid)? Thanks!

[@TheDawch]

Thanks Mark. Does the dominant hand always go the opposite shoulder or are there variants where you go both ways?

[@MarkWildman]

it can go both ways, but the opposite way is really hard on the shoulder so its done as an alternating movement. a gama cast.

[@Chilloutbeing]

Another great, clear, useful vid! Thx Mark!🙏 Do you have any clubbell workouts available to buy? If not then do you plan to do it? 🙂

[@MarkWildman]

they are all written. like 2 years of programming. but i took a nasty spill off my motorcycle so i can't film it until im all healed up.

[@ryanwann6442]

Get well soon! We’re all excited to see that programming, for free or for a fee!

[@uncawaltsadventures1602]

Wow get better soon.

[@eonblue4309]

Is a kettlebell halo a viable alternative to this? Can't find any clubs in stock at the moment.

[@jasonacraft]

James Russell it's what I’ve been using as a sub, results are happening

@@jasonacraft Glad I could help. I have 3 clubs with adjustable weights for less than the cost of one

[@jrmc3187]

Just stumbled onto your channel. Saw this and the "flat foot" videos using clubs. Any subs or alternate items that can be used in the place of clubs?

[@MarkWildman]

kettlebells. there are videos on the kb inside circle, kb outside circle, pendulums and halos.

[@salmonbits1917]

Hi Mark, a quick question: should the both knees be facing forward, or the top on slightly out, or both slightly outwards? Many thanks!

[@MarkWildman]

It depends on your sport. I like hips pointed forward, think the bottom of a lunge

[@LatimusChadimus]

I'm in a few think back even just five centuries with men fighting with swords and shields, when they were doing things in all different directions it was definitely possible that their knees would touch the ground yet they were still ready and able which is why you should train anything and everything that would apply to real life. I don't know why anybody would question why your knee was such in the ground unless it's the only way you display a lunch which I know isn't because I've been watching a lot of your videos lately. People are so childish I swear haha

[@shaungregory1827]

I didn't get my first club until the pandemic had struck - and the only club I was able to get my hands on is too light for me to get benefit from with 2 handed movements. Would adapting this to a one hand movement with a switch to the other hand where you switch your top hand give similar benefit?

[@LA-pq1ey]

im no expert but common sense tells me yes

[@KurtStein81]

Is there any reason to prefer a heavy club cast here to a mace swing in the kneeling position? (I am going to try both anyway.)

[@MarkWildman]

Do both. You can ratchet the club stuff up in a different way

[@darthmakaveli]

Wonder if I'd ever become as good as Kaepernick at kneeling from this exercise.
