Stand Up Strong - A Fundamental Core Exercise - Kettlebell 57 - Double Suitcase Deadlift

If you're not standing all the way up under load, you may need to work on a super simple, effective exercise that builds a rock solid foundation for all your other athletic development.
Work on this from the comfort of your own home. You don't need an expensive barbell and plates. Kettlebells work great in small spaces, and are much more affordable.

I have learned more from you in 12 months of watching your videos than from anyone else in 5 decades. Thank you Marc for doing this.

[@peterbruck4363]

Agreed 100%.

[@fimble2]

Seconded! 🕺

[@osPA78]

Third'd!

[@peacal247]

💯🔥🔥 same for me.

[@a.lame.username.]

Same. Trained forever but learnt little until I stumbled in here... What a fucking legend huh❣️

[@MeMe-Moi]

I recognize this movement. Though I know it as " How to carry a week's worth of groceries home on the bus". Definitely a necessary skill

[@Draw4Dame]

Underrated. 1 trip only

[@taylorjordan1122]

I love you mark. I view this as compassionate content. God bless you ❤️

[@troispieces]

Thanks a lot for the speech on asymmetric training at the end, I was actually wondering how viable this solution was.

[@kd-mi4mi]

Seems like editors are helping to get your content out quicker, its great!

[@MarkWildman]

I need one more guy and we will be cranking stuff out

[@kd-mi4mi]

@@MarkWildman more free time for some live QA again I hope! 🙏

[@heckl0r]

Omg i’ll never keep up!!😂

[@shantanusapru]

2:44 to 2:51 -- Excellent cueing!! Have seen this form breakdown many times while trying to 'engage lats'! In fact, I used to do this too, until I learned it slowly...

[@davidwagner9644]

I bought a set of 125's, 150's, 175's and 200's from New York Barbell. They are the TDS wide handled Kettlebell. This was like 2010, when they were affordable. Now a wide handle 150 is like $350 and they cannot get them cheaply made in China so New York Barbell has a limited supply. One thing about double KB deadlifts is you can do deficit deadlifts with less restrictions as the KB handles are neutral grip like a trap bar. 1

[@JosephMendoza-wu2vu]

I love just knowing they are in the other room. I’m now that much closer to starting a exercise program.

[@saoc8800]

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love the channel, I’ve gotten so much out of it, I can’t even begin to describe it… but just once in a while I’d love if Mark said “sitting down for long periods of time is a fundamental human movement, and you should be very good at it”. then I would think, “well, Mark, I am very good at it, I’ve been in training for years!” It took so much time,application and determination (to not die of boredom mainly) to learn to ‘endurance desk’ the way I do…

[@shantanusapru]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@a.lame.username.]

Ha😂. Perfect!

[@guseletov]

Thank you for the tip on changing stance - to avoid moving KBs

[@jamesyoung4782]

Good day from England Mark. Thank you for the simple way that you break down the movements in your videos. I love the ‘fundamentals for longevity’ plan. Long may you continue to help people move better. 🙏🏻💪😊

[@jeffl915]

I have typically never done any deadlift exercises because I injured my lumbar, and it has taken years to get where I am now. I do a bunch of core exercises that do not involve bending, but I will give these a try, as I can use light weight, and control my movement better.

[@keebs000]

Finish most sessions with offset carries, love’em!

[@ant7936]

Another excellent lesson, thanks!

[@JEKYLLHYDE123]

Your explanation of each exercise makes it easy for me to execute.Thanks

[@Bat_Dance]

I did these earlier this week with offset weights. Good times!

[@Bat_Dance]

And of course I entered this just as the topic of off set weight comes up. Go, me

[@peacal247]

🔥🔥Al-Go-Rithm🔥🔥💪🏽

[@JeffreyMcMahon]

Another great instructional video. Thanks to this channel, I've got excellent KB exercise variety for four 80-minute workouts a week.

[@Aa.11aaa]

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

[@ForteanEnquirer]

*jump scares the algorithm*

[@maxpower8052]

I like your comment LOL

[@clintengle7412]

Good stuff Mark! The thumbnail looked like you were doing some loaded carries with the bells. Now I'm curious, what do you think about suitcase carries, rack carries, overhead carries, bottoms up carries, sandbag carries, etc. Just loaded carries in general?

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

Coach Dan John has a whole philosophy and numerous programs built around loaded carries.

[@clintengle7412]

@brawndothethirstmutilator9848 I appreciate the response! I do follow Dan John and he is the one who first got me interested in loaded carries. I really do appreciate Dan's work and information...but I'm not an Olympic lifter so some of Dan's work doesn't apply to what I do consistently. Another Dan John idea that I really like is his standing, loaded bird dog. Are you familiar with Aleks Salkin? I was introduced to Aleks by Dan John and Pat Flynn. Aleks has several challenges that are focused on loaded carries (using kettlebells) and loaded gait pattern movements (crawling, marching, carrying & dragging). If you like that kind of stuff check out Aleks too. Mark has done videos on basically all of these ideas. He's talked about a crawl, he's covered walking with a mace and I think a trap bar (loaded carry), he's talked about pulling and dragging a sled, he talked about rucking (which is basically a form of loaded marching). I would still be interested in hearing his thoughts on kettlebell and/or sandbag carries specifically. Single vs double, mixed weight carries, mixed level carries (ex. Suitcase carry left hand, rack carry right hand), bear hug carries, shoulder carries...stuff like that. BTW...Idiocracy wasn't just a movie, it was a prophecy.

[@musicrobusto]

Counting AND lifting? I may have to consider this a "compound movement"

[@davidwagner9644]

Of you lift heavy enough, you only do 1 rep

[@musicrobusto]

@davidwagner9644 turn a one syllable word into two during the lift. (Up) Oooonn.....(down) nnneeee...always make things more difficult.

[@a.lame.username.]

Sounds complicated.

[@stuartmartin6483]

Any tips/queues on safely returning the weight down please?

[@2painfull]

Kettlebells are best for dirt roads in the boonies.

[@sticks0662]

4 the all go rhythm

[@jasonwelsh417]

I was surprised to feel the rear delts, lats, and surrounding area work much harder with just double 36kg bells for high rep deads than a double body weight bar dead.

[@maxpower8052]

👍👍

[@jacobcarrick1182]

[@entityofgoodness7911]

Hey Mark what are your thoughts about the staggered one arm kettlebell deadlift?

[@BillSteamshovel]

How does one drive the rib cage down ? Anything in particular one should think about ?

[@MarkWildman]

Contracting your abs like you are gonna brace for a stomach punch

[@c4a5m3]

Your grip will be the limiting factor, so you are not lifting all that much weight in comparison to a barbell deadlift. I recognize it is still activating muscles, but is this really effective in comparison to a barbell deadlift?

[@MarkWildman]

This is not meant to be a replacement for barbell dead lift, kettle bells, fill a roll of strength and endurance for most people. And movement patterns that can be activated that cannot be activated with a barbell dead lift.. The goal is to use barbell for what barbells are good and kettle bells for what kettle bells are good at in clubs in Mays for what clubs in Mace are good at

[@maureenvenables9766]

Can I do this with 2 different weights as long as I reverse the kettle bells and do the same amount of reps on both sides?

[@maureenvenables9766]

Oops never mind, you answered my question in the video. Awesome. Thanks.

[@jackmcqueen979]

You answered me

[@RobertRaimondi]

Would it be suitable/good to do the double suitcase deadlift/carry using two SLIGHTLY different sized bells? Like a 35 and a 25, but to be sure to alternate the heavy side?

[@doug70101]

🔥🔥🙌🏾

[@jonaski08]

Can you use two different weight for the kettlebells?

[@rickchandler1305]

Yes. In fact Dan John says there may be advantages to unequal weights.

[@jackmcqueen979]

Mark I have one 50 pound and one 70 pound bell. Is it ok to do 50 in one and 70 in the other?

[@kumbazzz]

He talks about that around minute 5 in this video, short answer is yes but switch them around every set

[@stretch1807]

Just curious, how tall are you?

[@hannibalking85]

Is the sumo kettlebell deadlift a good alternative

[@MarkWildman]

Do all the variations at some point. Life is long

[@farstrider79]

Nobody needs to spend that much on barbells 😂! Unless you're going over 300 lbs, s cheap set from Academy or Walmart for $350 will do just fine. For deadlifts, a set of adjustable dumbbells are like $30-50 and give you a ton of flexibility.
