I attribute the use of heavy steel club for helping me get rid completely of back and shoulder extreme pain that I endured for the past 10 years. It is a well kept secret that unfortunately beneficial to the pharmaceutical industry. People rarely die from back or shoulder pain (although people die from those pills they push...). I try to spread the usage of heavy steel clubs as much as I can to people around me ! Thank you Mark !

"It looks like their wrist hurts because it does." I'll be adding these to my routine. Thank you for more great content. Most creators putting out heavy club videos just do "complex/full wo" videos but never go over the technical aspects of the movements involved. I much prefer your content and then just create my own complexes to practice the movements

First off, thank you for sacrificing your clean pants so you could film in a beautiful spot! I love your unique jacket, it's really cool. This was my first encounter with your videos and I was impressed with your teaching style. I really appreciate how you made this exercise approachable. My husband has some clubs and I've been wanting to use them. Luckily he has some lighter ones that I can start with. Thank you for inspiring me with what seems like a very useful exercise. I've definitely been sitting too much over the winter!

The landscape is beautiful. Also, I started doing halos with the kettlebell and that alone works wonders. Sadly my gym doesn’t have clubs.

Mark, at the end of some of your videos you say that everyone should do this exercise every day for the rest of your life, as a deconditioned 60 year old male, any chance you could say which are the best of your exercises I should do every day, since watching your videos I've purchased kettle bells clubs and maces, many thanks for sharing your expertise.

Don’t want to speak on behalf of Mark but, having consumed so much Wildman Athletica material, I would say for clubs it would be inside circles, outside circles and shield casts. Check out his video called “Clubs & Coffee” in which he recommends doing a 6 minute session with the clubs that incorporate all of these movements which he recommends doing everyday.

Hi Mark. What is your opinion on ideal muscle development "upper vs. lower body"? Isn't the development of the lower limbs in the bodybuilding scale (I don't mean the overall volume, BUT the ratio between the top and the bottom of the body) exaggerated? Wouldn't it be the case that bodybuilders who have thighs as "a bit weak" (but you can see that they train them) actually have more natural muscle development? In my opinion, every gladiator or knight from the past, blacksmith, farmer, etc., had a bigger upper body than the lower body. Of course, you need to exercise your legs, but if the lower body even exceeds the upper body with its muscle development, it is NOT natural. (Someone else can also respond).

You've asked a few different questions here. What do you mean by ideal upper vs lower musculature? 'Aesthetically ideal' is within the eye of the beholder, it's individually subjective, culturally subjective and changes with the passing decades. 'Evolutionarily ideal' has been rendered obsolete now. 'Practically ideal' would depend on which activities, sports, and type of work that one engages. I believe the average men of past eras were much much more lower dominant. Look at pictures of soldiers from a hundred or more years ago. They hiked or marched everywhere while carrying their gear. Their quads and calves were horse legs, and their abdominal cores like mature tree trunks. Their arms and backs and shoulders were often puny in comparison. Frontiersmen and settler farmers often looked the same. Obviously a blacksmith would look different. I think it's natural and common for the lower to be developed more than the upper musculature. Look at runners, hikers, bikers, etc. concerning upper-lower musculature ratios, I think these modern leg dominant groups have more in common with our ancestors of antiquity than even modern bodybuilders have in common with the physical aesthetics of Roman statues.

@@nirpy I don't agree with your opinion, it doesn't make sense, bulky thighs and calves don't grow from hiking, and cyclists or runners are a pretty stupid example, because that's a SPORT, and a very non-complex sport. I would rather give the opinion of one expert from a neighboring country (Czech Republic): ... Body and "weaknesses": So from a natural point of view (anthropologically speaking), big legs are bullsh*t. They are the largest muscles in the body simply because they are. Making each leg a 15-pound monster for mega-squat performance doesn't seem to make Darwinian sense. Evolution prepared us for 1) movement in the forest-steppe landscape, 2) short interval sprints / long loaded marches at a free pace, 3) physical confrontation based on confrontation with objects requiring fine motor skills. We don't have mega jaws. We don't have mega strength or mega endurance for our body weight. We don't have good running speed for weight either. We don't have natural and unnatural environments. We are used to marching (a big kite gets in the way of that), sprinting after a mammoth / away from a mammoth for a short distance (i.e. more speed, repetitive, not maximal strength), fighting with the upper limbs (improved with a spear, stone, ax, etc.) So - logically speaking - ideal body composition from the point of view of evolution = as strong as possible hands (including palms and fingers), as stable core and hips as possible, as fast and jumpy legs as possible.

@@MarekKE-ei6ec @MarekKE-ei6ec go ahead and skip leg day, it's not bothering me. Just know that it's true that hikers who put in the distance and elevation, just like bicyclists, usually have very thick meaty legs. Historically before modern transportation methods, this was the defacto standard. Biologically there are millions of reasons why the body is like it is, that certain muscles are the largest (glutes, hamstrings, quads) so it's asinine to say that they are larger for no reason 🤦

Lunging is generally hard and exhausting. A 33lb club is also a very heavy club. Without know what else you're capable of, I'd say this movement should be pretty taxing with such a heavy club!
