Mark, you really separate yourself as a master instructor and fitness resource. In an undifferentiated sea of pretenders, you are both deep in understanding and excellent at communicating. I agree with all positive comments posted for both your kB and club posts - with over 45 years of elite level training, powerlifting, strongman, and Crossfit top 200 world ranking for 5 consecutive years, with the best coaches in the world, you are evolving my fitness to the next level, and set the foundation for me to continue to progress in my 60’s. Thank you!

Mark Wildman Watching through many of your very instructional videos... enjoying the learning. My reflection is very frustrating when considering unevolved references from my early days of training from the Army, sports, martial arts so on through to supposedly advanced modern technique in gyms, sports halls and professional trainers. The matter is that adages such as “no pain, no gain” are still persistent and stubbornly embedded in practice and mindset. Much accessible traditional training today is predictably corrupted with something modern or ‘Merikanized as a feature distraction nonsense seemingly for a wider appeal and general acceptance. This departure from sound traditional knowledge makes no sense to me. In quiet times I’m kicking myself for not rejecting this whole moderne issue years ago and seeking a deeper and more fundamentally sound training guidance from original and proven sources and traditions. Keep up the good work. Stay consistent with your message - I like it!

Catching the club and launcing it with the legs is essential once the club gets heavy. What I also noticed as well is that, once the club gets heavy, it's the body's rotation that actually brings the club forward during the rotating pullover. Muscling it forward just doesn't work. (It does if you are a monster freak hulk kind of person... and for a straight pullover there is really no other option) I find that rotating he body forward, giving momnentum to the club and utilizing the muscles stored elastic energy and then contracting them to bring the club forward really helps with really heavy clubs.

I have three old 3/4 lb. wood clubs that seem to come out of a YMCA in the 1930s or so. I don't know the manufacturer for the label has come off but the weight is still on them.

Mark : Great explanation on the technique; especially, as one goes up in heavier weights and the practical execution. Due to COVID it is difficult to find heavier Kettlebells and many are in back order. I am glad that I discovered "Club Bells" "Tap Bells". I have come to discover that 10 lbs Club Bell is not 10 Lbs given the leverage and where you place your hands on the handle. Now Mark - I have rotator cuff issues on both shoulders so for single movements should I go no heavier than 10-20 Lbs. and then save the Heavier clubs for two hand movements?

Should the 'shield' (abs) and glutes be 'on' (I interpret that as tightened) ?, or should they be relaxed ? Is this consistent for every heavy club exercise, or does it vary ? Thanks.
