Dude I have been watching your videos for almost 4 years, you have really stepped up the production. This and the club series are looking awesome, it is awesome to watch the growth of your channel and your programs.

[@samrsmiley]

Same Amazing content

[@carsten2751]

Same

[@affl1ctor]

He should have millions of subs. Content and like you said the production quality are gold standard.

[@AkramAli-ve7fe]

I can only agree

[@a.lame.username.]

🤘 Imagine if there was no Mark Wildman...

[@Aa.11aaa]

REQUESTION: You should seriously consider writing A book, your philosophy on human moves should not be missed out.

[@heckl0r]

I’m just here for the dogs, trucks & mountain vistas.

[@Mr4Strings]

I saw a Pavel video where he demonstrated an intermediate move he called a "shoulder pull" which will improve the snatch technique. I was struggling with inconsistency getting the KBell up, then I started doing these Should Pulls and after a while I was doing a very good snatch. You start with the swing motion and as you come up you bend your elbow then at should height you pull the Bell in, or pull your shoulder back slightly., then allow the Bell to return down to swing then repeat. It works on both strength and technique. Once you get that "pull" move down where you feel comfortable, it's much easier to make the transition to the snatch up move. Much easier. Search for Pavel's Snatch vid. I love Mark's channel and he has done wonders for this 72 year old body, but there's more than one way to skin a cat sometimes. Ya gotta admit, Mark has the most outrageous toys!! That Blazer is awesome, I'd love to hear it. What's under the hood Mark? You ought to do a video where you give a tour of your place, it looks really cool.

[@ryank42301]

This is a particularly important video imo as Mark does such a good job working up to this and articulating why the fundamentals (standing well, holding the bell well, swings, cleans, presses, etc) are necessary to safely do snatches and get the full benefit from them. There really is no better way to spot a bad kb trainer than how quickly they expect you to work snatches in. By contrast, I’m in Austin and one of my friends went to a gym last week where they had *no* kb instruction (‘just follow along’) and their shtick is that they heat the room like it’s a bikram yoga studio (or just like outdoor austin?) so she said it was a room full of people trying to do kb *snatches* with sweaty hands on their first time with a kb. ?!?! Fortunately she is also a Wildman fan and knew that throwing snatches without working up to them is bad news. Mark, thx as always for your generous and outstanding instruction.

[@fruitytarian]

I found you channel during the lockdowns and have been slowly building up my reps and working to improve my form. I thought I had the snatch down but I've learnt a few new things in this video that I'm going to start implementing as I work up to my next weight. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@judahlyons1284]

Great instruction.Couldn't be more clear!

[@peterbruck4363]

Fantastic. Really like how you always break down all of the six basic movements of KB into those prep exercises. I who learned all of them in a matter of days a few years ago benefit immensely from this, helps tons with questioning and refining my technique. Which - as a bonus - is a lot of fun!!

[@FutureITDoctor]

I was using the barbell grip until I watched this. Thanks.

[@miguelcabral1836]

That Commando Blazer. Also this guy taught me how to use the kettlebells that Joe Rogan, convinced me to buy. Respect this man.

[@garysmith82]

Brilliant….. thanks 👍

[@sayeretjoez9297]

Like always bringing us the 💎!! Excellent explanations!

[@Lion-qi8ej]

Awesome instruction @mark. The snatch is by far the most efficiently taxing movement once you master it. This will surely help.

[@clankelt]

Your instructional videos are exemplary. Best I’ve seen. Much Respect

[@pointshealthcoaching8474]

thank you! always learning from your posts. appreciate the the attention to details and injury prevention.

[@carolynbrooks-luckett2945]

Thank you, thank you 😊

[@davidwagner9644]

Good information. I really like that 1984 K5 Silverado Blazer. I bought one in the summer of 1994as a junior in high school. Mine was two tone. Red an White

[@MarkWildman]

This one is an ‘86. It’s about to get upgraded. I got a roll cage bender

[@kettlebellcarnivore-vr5cw]

​@MarkWildman is it a CUCV? Always liked them. I ran a couple Ramchargers. They don't make trucks like they used to! Also, great way to learn snatches. Thanks a bunch!

[@MarkWildman]

yeah. i got it from a marine down by san diego@@kettlebellcarnivore-vr5cw

[@normasouza1086]

So true about perfecting others before you get to the snatch. I went to a gym and the trainer had many of us do snatches. I was all bruised up. Trainer said I’ll eventually learn and did not give me cues 🤔….I left.

[@stevekubien6680]

Wise decision.

[@JosephAlanOliveros]

thank you for revisiting the basic videos and updating them - whether visually or for any new details/info. always good to learn new things or update what we already know for better fine tuning.

[@mikeg131]

Excellent instruction Mark!

[@froinlaven71]

My plan to get into the snatch is to finish working through the C&P perfect path from 16k to 32k (did 12k to 28k), so my hope is two full runs through this I should have my technique close enough to solid that I can do the snatch with good form and run through that perfect path from 16k to 32k. Also working swing and TGU programs, so if I don't have my form right by then, I'm just not meant for this.

[@heckl0r]

28kg C&P you’ll smash snatches at 16 & 20kg; you’ll be hitting the 200 in 10 mins very fast.

[@awakenotwoke6930]

Hey Mark. I really enjoy your content and thank you so much for trying to educate those of us who love to move kettlebell and clubs around and our training. Question for you: Why does the thumb need to pointing down during the push back/initial grab?

[@andyh3065]

Love the detail in your videos Mark. The next best thing to a live workshop…speaking of workshops…would you come to Australia…please 🙏🙏

[@chrislau8332]

New puppy Mark? Of the other video?

[@haledamagemedia]

Loved this! More please!

[@powskier]

Best kettelbell instruction I've seen. This video is gold. All valuable information. I really appreciate there was no BS, distractions, crappy attempts at humor, or in-video ads. Plus you wear shoes. (nobody wants to look at a male's feet) Cool ride too. I had one like it in high school.

[@fit-with-eaz2627]

💪

[@jordantheokay3168]

All im doing is working on technical competency with the 22kg snach at the moment.

[@InspirationSessions]

Long-time fan of your videos and no-nonsense teaching style, Mark. Have mostly been doing static strength moves with my KBs to date (plus swings of course), would love to progress into more dynamic moves but nervous of injury after picking up a nasty shoulder impingement through over-enthusiastic training during lockdown. Is there a training plan you'd recommend for someone who's not a total beginner to strength training or KB basics, but is a novice with the more dynamic moves?

[@MarkWildman]

Cross train with clubs. Basis of strength program. That will predictably build the movements you need to do the fun stuff in a predictable way. Then come back to fancy kb after you’ve done 3 weights

[@a.lame.username.]

Everyone scroll the comments section and thumbs up as many comments as you can.

[@jacobcarrick1182]

Love snatches 🤔😁💪🏻

[@nirpy]

And hate jerks😡

[@wadsworth2351]

I can't seem to figure out the hand rotation on the way up in the snatch. Any help would be appreciated!

[@peterjwilson]

in my late 60s this is how I have been doing them for a long time. otherwise, I get back pain if I go straight down.

[@nandobreiter314]

😀

[@lorrainemontes8447]

I notice that my watch gets hit when I try to practice the clean. Do I need to practice my form or just take off my watch?

[@garf293]

Your name is Wildman? Why aren't you a wrestler?

[@badgerinthewood]

*Sees cornfields in background * hmm back in Ohio?

[@shevinsacrey5862]

You realize at no point in the entire video did you show yourself doing the entire movement of a swing snatch..

[@MarkWildman]

When you make a 1000 videos there are bound to be errors

[@fallingteepee]

Technique, technique, technique...something went "boing" in my low back doing the suitcase deadlifts in the TOI program. I'm only two weeks in and I'm trying to not get discouraged. I'm hoping this gets better soon so I can get back at it.

[@maxpower8052]

A few years ago I hurt myself pretty good working out and could barely move. Changing positions and sitting up hurt like crazy. Anyway, what helped me was deep breathing in place of workout sessions. I feel like not only did it help with my recovery and keep me from getting discouraged, but I think my lung capacity improved significantly. I believe my lung capacity would not have improved if it was not for my injury and when I finally returned to training almost two months later, it was not joltingly painful. Please give deep breathing a try while you are recovering. You can do it five minutes here, ten minutes there and in various positions like sitting up, lying down, or standing. For best results, try to mentally scan and focus on releasing tension through breath while deep breathing; just don't force anything. Best of luck to you!

[@bryanpratico4173]

Popped my back out doing 32kg swings followed by trying to lift 40kg batteries out of ride on floor cleaners. Not good or smart. Going to a physiotherapist, and using loaded mobility exercises (pigeon pose, McGill Big 3, etc) were the path back. Still took 6 weeks till I braved resistance training. Good luck!
