This guy is making my lockdown period significantly more productive. Thanks man

[@jasonsierchio1167]

DITTO!

[@mjolninja9358]

Hows it going

[@robertw2953]

Thanks Mark. Your videos and teachings are much appreciated!

[@dominicg6211]

Very informative and at the same time straight to the point! Great video!

[@doro19]

I went from dumbbells to kettlebell back to dumbbells. I'm pushing 60, and I find that with dumbbells I'm less prone to injuries. Kettlebells are more technically complex than dumbbells. Most of my dumbbell routines involve complexes like varieties of man makers. Do I miss kettlebells? Yes! But dumbbells are very underrated, I think, especially as you enter the golden years when training injuries can have a more detrimental effect on our bodies and training. That's just my experience, your milage may vary.

DB's are awesome and very versatile (if you use adjustable plate loading DB's). KB are popular due to the marketing and myth of them.

[@ffi1001]

Use lighter bells?

[@DodjiSeketeli]

What can I say, beside great video! I just *love* the kettlebell snatch a.k.a the "Tsar of all the lifts". Thanks !

[@SuperTFRO]

Mark, I drank my way through the first week. But I'm ready to be good again. Thanks for the vid output.

[@RockinHomeschoolinMrMom]

Mark Wildman, thank you for clearing that up...the correct way to do a DB/KB Snatch. Gonna experiment with this tomorrow with using a 1 Gal. water jug in place of the 10lb kettleball I own.😊

[@Kobayashhi]

Great content bro !

[@jasonsierchio1167]

Very great video. It will def. come in handy in the future. I'm still trying to perfect my form for the clean. Got the swings down pretty good to where I was doing 20 OTM for 10 minutes, so I switched to one handed swings...

[@SuperBmayes]

Love your videos.... my overall form has improved since watching your videos. Are you able to do a video on the kettlebell windmill?

[@bobaaron1544]

I agree ☝️

[@TheSuperMerc]

And the bent press

[@pronghornllc2200]

Something about the dumbbell makes it feel more “squatty” (rather than “hingey”) even from a hang position. I also feel the dumbbell is better suited for athletically “catching” the weight like in olympic weightlifting (extending through the toes and then repositioning the feet for the catch)

[@akshaybadakere7083]

Excellent content

[@ShowDonkeys]

Thank You

[@matt7019.]

Could you go over the different benefits of the jerk, pushpress, and strict press? Also what is more beneficial for different activities (muscle, sports, general living and things like manual labor)

[@brianbailey6138]

Awesome, as usual. Straightforward, informative, entertaining too. Thanks. Plus , could you add a hat to your clothing, I'd like one. (perfect for golf, when we start playing again)

[@thereallkmofo]

Fire Harder, don't get ripped in half. 💪

[@gavinhassan1074]

What can you do with a kettlebell that cannot be achieved with a clubbell? Buying something to train at home with and looking for best value.

[@JoshMaxPower]

Just discovered you two days ago, have probably watched about 20 of your kettleball videos, am trying each one in quarantine and I can't believe what muscles are being engaged, my girl loves the results, can't complain about that! Following you on Insta, looking forward to more Mark Wildman vids, god bless u

[@hkaszowi]

why does it hurt my forearm when I hold the kettlebell?

[@MR-yp7mu]

My observation is that when I do dumbbell snatch or press I feel that stabilizers and wrist need to work harder because weight is higher (above my wrist) as opposed to the kettlebell when the weight is lower and more stable supported by forearm.

[@Brockthedog315]

I prefer the db because I’m lazy and the technique is easier to learn. Hahaha. Love the snatch. Thanks for the vid

[@khyleesikihel3552]

Big fan of this channel! Just curious just 6 days ago he was rock'n a shaved head. I'm not really sure when he grew his hair or was it just a late upload?

[@jmcantila9104]

can't be called a Wildman if his hair doesn't grow like a gorrila's

[@katpellot7646]

Which tool is better? My technique and strength is way better with a dumbbell (50lbs for reps) than a kettlebell (still working technique with 15-18lbs). Is it better to continue working on strength with DB snatch, while developing technique with the KB? Or totally focus on technique to develop strength with KB; don’t bother with DBs?

[@jasonsierchio1167]

Doesn't help but good question

[@jason5388]

Could you talk about cross training kettlebells with other types of training, like bodybuilding or calisthenics

[@delis4256]

well I'll give my opinion based on my own research/study. which is you don't really cross train at the same time. It's better to switch them after you've done a protocol for an extended amount of time, be that weeks or months. Kettlebell training isn't really bodybuilding. They have different goals with different outcomes. Find your goals and do them Calisthenics, I find, I can do everyday basic pushups, pull-ups, and squats. I do them when I wake up even on days I work out. working out is taxing on the body on more levels then just the muscles. Recovery and diet are almost more important then lifting weights.

[@Subtlenimbus]

Of course, the kettlebell snatch will be different than the dumbbell if they are used differently. I do them with dumbbells and go slightly past straight overhead, to get the anterior activation.

[@bryanschatz]

Mark - what kind of pants are you wearing in this video?

[@Blainerr]

Can we get a video elaborating on the VO2 Max benefits from snatches. I would love a nerd math/science breakdown of that idea.

[@MarkWildman]

There a whole book on it. Maybe I’ll do a review. Viking warrior conditioning by .... Kenneth jay? I think maybe 2007.

[@andy_in_nh9243]

Kettlebells for the win!

[@djcudworth2355]

(Request for) Programming next pls. I know you have an older one. Is it anything more than the same number of reps on each side and lots of them over a 6 month period before going up in weight?

[@jasonsierchio1167]

Hell yeah.. an in-depth video on a beginners program would be great. I want to get all my information just from Mr. Wildman , because (with anything) if you use different KZbin sources, you'll find so much conflicting info and just wind up getting confused.

[@tmac2744]

In a previous reply to me on a different video, he had mentioned that he would look into that. Not knowing his schedule, or what he feels needs to go into such a video, I'm being patient.

[@EDVINUXXX]

best way to prevent the KB spinning around at the top and hitting my wrist?

[@kingquads6982]

Easy, hold the handle diagonally and keep it close to your body all the way to the top

[@daedalusrho]

How do you avoid slamming your forearm when the kettlebell goes over the top?

[@MarkWildman]

We have several other videos on that. Check out the clean video. Same technique

[@jedi77palmer]

What is stopping you from swinging the dumbbell?

[@sonja4164]

I'm wondering that too. I've some people do the snatch with a swing.

[@BSelf2105]

What weight is that kettlebell? Looking to start doing these.

[@Ramngrim]

Depends. I'd not recommend going heavier than 24 kg for snatches, though. And unless you're very strong (I mean VERY strong), start lighter and get to know the movement.

[@BSelf2105]

@@Ramngrim Thank very much.

[@arijitsinha6485]

Dead dumbell has potential energy

[@jedi77palmer]

I love your content in fact it has gotten me into clubbells now but the statement about the weight being being behind you with the kettlebell and not with dumbbells isn't true. Whenever you lift anything over your head no matter what it is you will naturally align the center of mass over the top of your shoulder. So even though the weight of the kettlebell is on the back of your wrist you will still line up the CoM with the structure of your shoulder. This same principle will apply with dumbells, barbells or any other thing you lift over head.

[@ankurj9]

Good video! Just a point: The mechanics of dumbbell snatch that you showed in the video is nowhere near to the actual technique used in dumbbell snatches (specially the first 1-2 db snatches you showed in your video). Here's how a DB snatch should look like kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJaliqiqis2MjtU I am sure you must have noticed that it is significantly different from the DB snatch which you showed in the video. Your DB snatch is simply like a KB snatch however the actual DB snatch technique is very different from KB snatch. I agree with a lot of points you made in the video including the point that both are great exercises/movement, none is better than the other one, it's just a different movement.

[@Vikingocazar]

It’s not black or white. Go look at a traditional barbell snatch. Your video is closer to that. For someone who doesn’t have access to kettlebells… like I don’t right now, Mark’s version is awesome.

[@spooky4223]

I get what your saying, but im low on funds so this dumbell gonna pretend to be a kettlebell today.

[@MarkWildman]

Acceptable. We work with what we have

[@idx1941]

Use adjustable plate loading DB's and you can load your front core...just have added weight on the back end when you lift the DB overhead. Not sure why none of these brainiac's couldn't figure this out? LOL
