I was a coach (CSCS) for 11 years. Learned KBs from a lot of people, AOS, Jason Brown, Gray Cook, Brett Jones, RKC, MKC, just to drop a few names. I really dig your teaching style, your philosophy, your attitude toward KBs, clubs, etc. I have been on a journey reversing type 2 diabetes for the past 3 months and your videos have been key in my training. Would love to visit your gym some day. Keep it up brother! Thank you! God bless!

[@MarkWildman]

I’m glad my style communicates to you. Thank you for watching

[@markwinchester3005]

Some people have it...Some don't...Mark does. Again I have to post 35-50lbs is all the vast majority of guys need to get all they're gonna get outta training w/ a kettlebell.

[@marcdudek155]

No flash, no bs, just instruction. Great video(s).

[@LanceMillerSeattle]

Articulating very nuanced complexity in a way that illuminates and gives memorable markers the user can retain during their workout is something few can do well. You have a gift at it. Appreciate your vids, learning a lot.

[@MarkWildman]

I appreciate your kind words

[@jawsquid]

Still among the best teachers on the internet. From the beginning of the year until now, it's nice to see your popularity go up to be commensurate with the quality of your explanations. Thanks for everything, Mark!

[@louvegh6203]

I've been waiting for the clean / press combination video for a long time, thanks Mark!

You're one of the best Kettlebell KZbinrs out there

THIS CHANNEL IS THE AUTHORITY ON KETTLE BELL DAD BODS IM SSURE OF IT!!!

[@Langor]

Dad bod = also Dad muscle

[@salimosman8188]

Dad bod...💪

[@jokergreeting]

Dad here. I agree.

[@spyrosnar]

To this day I don't understand what this expression means. Initially I thought just average middle age dudes who don't really exercise and have a belly. Then I heard someone descibe Will Smith's physique as a dad-bod, now you. One of the great mysteries of life I suppose.

[@gustavogarcia7124]

Spyrosnar, thats true, they call a dar bos anything that isn't a fitness model, mark is more like a warrior bod

[@Pcperoni]

Mr. Wildman, I watch so many of you're videos from kettlebells, clubs and now mace drills. Just want to say a big thank you. The content is incredible, has been so helpful to my training and progression in these skills. A BIG thank you from the UK. Keep up the excellent, life changing free content. 🙏

[@Kammarcel81]

Great work! These are some of the best workout videos on KZbin.

[@a.lame.username.]

Must have watched this video 20 times by now and still picking up refinements of technique!

[@nandobreiter4075]

Excellent. The precision regarding details like the thumb and knuckle positions, firing the glutes, etc, and your explanations why these details are important, is inspiring. So it's clean and press tomorrow! Thanks Mark.

[@dmzz89]

Such good timing. I watched this during lunch and today is my KB C&P day! Sweet video Mark!

[@EdwardScape]

You are an incredible coach! Thank you!

[@AndrewPotterton]

Thanks Mark. I’m loving the detail about the top of this movement. I’m not doing it as correctly as I could be! I’m learning loads from your videos.

[@simonchalk9386]

Excellent video as always from Mark Wildman - detailed without being patronising, good humoured without ego and drills right down to the basics. I recommend your videos to my students.

[@vipulboylla]

Brilliant as usual! Thanks Mark!

[@johnmorgan4405]

Been doing KB workouts for years, and just found this channel. So awesome!

[@AlainSTO]

Been using kettlebells (RKC) for 14 years and I love these back-to-basics videos.

[@dominikadams3446]

Great explanation, really terrific! Thanks a lot Mark..

[@Hell_Inc]

What a masterclass, man. Thank you

[@cesarzayas390]

That was one of the best/most informational videos I’ve ever seen. Thank you.

[@joenicedj]

This is a brilliant video. I find myself watching the videos, listening to Mark, then performing the movements, and remembering amd repeating what Mark said (out loud) to maintain proper form. These videos are incredibly helpful. Thank you, Mark.

[@Barrrt]

Thanks so much man. I've been hoping for a video like this and you delivered everything I hoped for. I'm gonna sink my teeth in this one just like I did with your TGU breakdown. Again, thanks so much. Learning the basics well is such a pleasure.

[@sharmishtha623]

Thank you Mark! Your instructions in these free KZbin videos are so specific and so precise and so thorough, that I can only imagine how amazing your teaching programs might be! You must most definitely be a very very good teacher/ coach. Hoping your app launches soon.

[@eugeneoriordan4799]

Great training video. I need more of this. I have a painful infraspinatus tear and I'm trying to build strength back into my right shoulder. More please Mark. From Eugene.

[@christians.9158]

[@mikael9803]

your explanation is great! Thanks for the content!

[@karthikmunishamaiah2689]

So detailed. Great stuff

[@jokergreeting]

This is great. In my head I kept wondering if I missed this and needed to look back for this video (of course never looked) but happy it’s here.

[@Justjane55]

It has been about a year or more of learning KB movements. It’s great to see your instructions on placement of hand and KB for the clean and press. I always have difficulty not being consistent on the clean or press! I have AC joint separation and impingement right now. So I’ll be implementing this video in my practice as soon as I can! Thank you! I truly enjoy all your videos!

[@jhojansegura]

your channel is a blessing.

[@jlaukemper]

Thanks for the clear cut instructions!

[@philbennett8896]

You have pointed to so many things I have been doing wrong with this exercise. Thanks Mark - you've got me sorted now.

[@pickledbuffalo]

Such a simple clean. I need to go back and watch your clean videos. I do a short jab like a snatch which is a bad habit. Always learning! Great videos as ever Mark, much appreciated bro.

[@DrRocknRolla]

Great coaching! I am new to kettlebell work and appreciate the little gold nuggets of information on your channel. You've just got yourself another sub! Love the shirt!

[@marcobrettschneider4359]

Omg, I've never realized that I have to point the thumb behind me when picking up the KB - this makes so much more sense! Thanks for making this video, this is pure gold!

[@devittm1979]

Soooooo helpful and timely. Thank you!!!

[@rossstevenson7421]

Another great video as always. Your clear and concise delivery is superb and makes the process of learning very easy. Thank you for all the great content! when you release any paid for programmes, I'll be one of the first to purchase for sure.

[@salimosman8188]

Excellent break down..cheers mate 👍

[@beatezeuner1817]

Yes! Finally a basic C&P Video! Great. Thanks a lot. I learn everything from scratch from this channel so I searched through all the channel and was really surprised that there was no C&P complete explanation. But now there is :)

[@aubertbethencourt3241]

I find it amusing and very educational the way you explain and giving direction when it comes to the methods of teaching people. You explain it in such a way that is both sarcastic in away and simplest form where you shouldn't get any questions about repeating it but I'm sure you do. Keep up the good work, thanks.

[@Mark-ih7hk]

So technical, love these vids man

Looking forward to seeing the math for a clean n press program. Been having forearm/elbow issues doing this exercise. I adjusted technique based on this video and it has helped a lot! Thanks Mark!

Perfect instruction. The learning curve for Kettlebells is so huge. I always struggle not burning up my grip or over stressing my forearms. Thanks for the cues for the unracking portion, which is the most difficult portion in my opinion.

Just awesome series MW ! Been using the tetris to build out my weekly. Light heavy, heavy light...works great. Would love for you to flesh out what is inside a heavy squat tetris block. Kinda making it up myself and doing ok but would really like your nerd math on that and other tetris blocks . Thanks MW keep'em coming. Please.

[@anttistrom8526]

Been doing these one and half week now. Slowly trying to sink this in. Today it was second time for me doing this movement and already can feel this is so much easier this time!

Thank you Mark

[@ding174]

i warm up with an empty hand to "remind" my muscles how the move is executed. then i do a few with light weight. when im warmed up i use my max weight. i have to remind myself to drop my shoulder on the press. great instructional.

@@MarkWildman Not me, but I had expected for a long time. Thanks, Mark!

[@AaronBishop-st2ow]

Bought this for my youngest to develop basic form for single hand kettlebell work. kzbin.infoUgkxtaDAl93XF8wxJhssTtjIFjzid82wglva It has a nice grip on it, just a little rough so it isn't slippery. I was doing a few rotator cuff exercises to test and worked well for those movements I'd been doing with a regular dumbbell. Cool thing you can do is hold it in your hand for door-knob turns to work the forearm and grip. Note: it's small, almost all handle, but that's what I expected given the weight. Smallest I've worked with before is 15lbs, so it was kind of funny to see the difference 10lbs makes.

[@cucciafr68]

Almost didn't want to watch this in fear I would find out I was doing this wrong somehow. So far so good.

[@JerryGerolamo]

Thanks Mark

[@Sandemose]

​ @Mark Wildman first and foremost, I´m working with your bacic program and have been doing it for some month. I´m really nerdy with the "math" aspect and I document very carefully every training session. One thing that I´ve noticed, and that I´m very thankful for, is the mental transformation I´ve been going through rather than the physical. I´m much more at ease and patient esp. with my kids when they go berserk. I feel more collected and calm and confident I´ll get through even the hardest days. I stick to plans better and I feel like a more reliable person. This transformation I didn´t aim for when I started your basic program. I didn´t expect my mental capacities to be reprogramed as well. But they are. Thanks Mark.

[@mdmaniruzzaman5710]

The “push” from the clean back down to the swing made a big difference in my technique. Great video as always. Appreciate it

I would always think about throwing it away with my forearm. I definitely notice when I do not push it is a great cue.
