great advice, everything is very logical. Especially the `why`makes sense for deeper understanding

[@johnphilpott5102]

I love doing the halo. Like in a previous video of yours I use it as a warm up. It never crossed my mind that after the rotation you could drop into a squat. Great video as always🤙

[@MrDalulz]

Great content as always! These videos are so evergreen - they will last forever.

[@andrewjbloom]

Love this, hadn't thought to chain the 2 together. Looking forward to working this in to my session tomorrow

[@user-qp6ef9ig2n]

I was thinking of adding a 3rd link to the chain after the halo them a pullover from behind the head then down to the squat peace out

[@nandobreiter4075]

Excellent! I've never seen this combination before and it makes perfect sense. Thanks Mark.

[@estherpalenschat4356]

Mark you are so AWESOME! Was sharing your vids with a coworker today who just got a KB! I know you're the best so when she asked me, I sent links asap. For me.. Ive been healing a knee thing and have just been out of my routine and very weak. Bad cycle. Really discouraged with the pain, lack of stability and i have re-injured myself by going too fast etc...dumb stuff. 🙄 but I have been diligent and improved a bit again over the last couple weeks doing my P.T. and some spin and core work. Been showing up to my swords practice but I am always on edge of messing myself up by lacking decent strength. Slipped in wet grass at practice a few weeks ago twisting the bad knee AGAIN, and set myself back. 🙄 so frustrating. 💔 So Ive been afraid of doing KB and somehow going too far with it with this injury cycle, or being in bad form cuz the knee stability, and then locking up my back for a few days. I HAVE to work and i have a physical job so that option is BAD. Ha! So ive been living in fear. But I got "brave" the other day and just added back some simple swings and goblet squats with really low weight. Man..Im so glad I did. The R.O.I. was almost instant. So now im all excited to plot out my KB recovery plan again. I do the HighWindmill movement without any weight as a stretch before massaging people. Keeps my back/hips more open. So I then came here to watch again. Thank you Mark. I love this move and used to do it over and over with weight..and i have basically been weak and hobbling over the last year especially. I could cry. It's awful. Im inspired again. I can do this. I can heal and be strong and go hiking again. I just need to be slow and steady. Thank you for all your concise and kind teaching. I have a whole YT favorites file with your KB trainings. Coming back home to my KB work and trusting it will help heal me. Thank you so much.

[@MarkWildman]

You can do it. Stories like yours keep me going. I’ve been super hurt and it’s hard to start.

[@SpindlyScoundrel]

Good stuff - nice to always get an explanation for why you're doing what you're doing!

[@hangonsnoop]

You're a great coach. Thanks.

[@honeybeesinstatham1384]

excellent video. great presentation, explanation, great teacher.

[@farstrider79]

This is going in the rotation!

[@josephbreen8197]

Hi mark. Your tutorial videos are brilliant. Could you do some 20/30 min workout videos? Maybe a cheeky HIIT sesh?

[@MarkWildman]

Coming soon! the technical aspects of that have been a challenge for me. just working on production lists for that now

[@wadap0]

I love the progression to get here.

[@TheDukeofDixie]

Because advice on halos is usually "lighter weight & lower reps", I had backed down from my max of 20 kg down to 10 kg but kept my reps at 20 each direction. Would appreciate your guidance as to weight & reps for this halo goblet squat. Currently I use the 20 kg for swings & clean/rack squats. Thanks!

[@Icynova]

Awesome exercise, throwing back to my time doing back squats

[@andy_in_nh9243]

Definately going to ad this to my routine.

[@tbx59]

Started watching this playlist and threw in some goblet squats, then here come the goblet squats

[@michaeleverbring2608]

Thank you!

[@MarcBreaugh]

Hi Mark, I appreciate your explanations and innovative movements. Can you explain what muscles or what movement patterns this is good for, perhaps at the end of the tutorial? Thanks from Nova Scotia!

[@steveboutcher80]

Thanks Mark. Nice video as usual. I often use this warm-up. What is your opinion about doing the "Halo" portion of the warm-up in the bottom of the squat? Thanks.

[@MarkWildman]

Great idea. Extremely difficult for most people

[@salimosman8188]

Cool that's going in..😊 cheers mate. 👍

[@gregperman]

Thanks for the great content. May I ask you what is the knife in your pocket?

[@MarkWildman]

Randal Adventure Training folder - RAT 1 i think. great knife. equal to bench made but way more affordable..

[@gregperman]

@@MarkWildman Great choice. Great quality, great value.

[@MrDalulz]

Will you ever be making reviews of exercise performances? Even with your great explanations, it's quite challenging to learn these from scratch at home without a coach or even a good mirror. All I can do is ask my wife to shoot a video and look at it. Could be very helpful to get some advice from a professional view.

[@Barrrt]

I also think you should just get a good mirror regardless of what The Wildman does.

[@MrDalulz]

​@@Barrrt mocking non-native speakers? :)

[@leatherneck5050]

Excellent demo of exercise movement. Very well done. Thanks

[@cotymcclung6088]

Nice content!

[@Rageof1000Mongooses]

I wonder if the standing pullover is equally effective as the halo in this exercise. The pullover feels more challenging to me than the halo.

[@philiproth3676]

Warm-up? I'd say this is more like a core part of a challenging workout

[@fabianaubry3555]

Nice one thx!

[@maerajabcn]

That sound when you come out of that squat, is that your knees crunching?? Sounds familiar to me..

[@wadsworth2351]

What kettlebells were you using here? Please tell me. I know you're all for the adjustable kettlebell these days but i still prefer to have them at fixed weight.

[@MarkWildman]

Bells of steel

[@wadsworth2351]

@@MarkWildman They don't ship overseas. Pity.

[@Reefraction]

I do a halo at the bottom also. Anything posturally wrong with that? Not sure posturally is a word but I’m going with it.

[@MarkWildman]

nope... that's awesome. i stopped doing that after my 3rd knee surgery but i will definitely put it back in. i've recovered enough i think

[@alfonso365]

Does this target lats like a pullover?

[@jackmcqueen979]

Mark excellent as is your wont

[@conspiracychris4742]

Your form is still amazing with Jean's and a belt!

[@jasonacraft]

Hey, I know this is dumb...but I like your shoes. What are they?

[@MarkWildman]

5.11 8 inch desert boot. i use to hate them and only wore palladiums. now i love them

[@jasonacraft]

Thanks guys!

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

I am so used to keeping every weight I move as close to the center as possible, that it is really hard for me to not rest my kettlebell on my chest. This will take some time to get used to.

[@thatonegirl6880]

I been looking for a new way of warming up. My podiatrist said I shouldn’t use the treadmill anymore.

[@jcpaclax19]

do you ride super moto

[@MarkWildman]

yeah. im not good, but its on my goal list for the year to get in 10 track days

[@voodoosausage4137]

Copy that. Learn the skills. Keep good form. Elbows in. Do it more better. Top banana, Mr Wildman. Top banana!
