Tetris Training Program Design - Kettlebell and 2 Hand Club - most effective basic program design

[@rudycanda]

This is as close to being a fly on the wall when mark makes a program for a client. And the fact that he does this for free is beyond me. Thank you again for the great content!

[@LawrenceSchmettererMDFACS]

Outstanding! Waiting patiently for videos of the Magnificent 7 (2 hand club moves). Suspect this will be incorporated in the grail, er, app

[@alanphalen2721]

Be more human. Don’t die. Kettle bells: check. Adex club system: still waiting on a production run. Mark Wildman’s kettle bell, mace, club app: waiting patiently. Quality of life, range of motion, mental psyche improves every day.

[@russellpurdham]

Thank you for this kind of video! Really enjoying learning the ‘Tetris’ of fitness from you. It is beginning to make sense to my thick skull...

[@EnduranceRoom]

Awewome. Like the flow. In addition to rucking around the woods, I am working with kettlebells and clubs. I usually combined them in sessions. Appreciate the insight to how you put it all together.

[@zakxtoten]

so good

[@randyallen2771]

Thanks Mark, great video, it goes a long way to helping me develop an overall plan incorporating KB and clubs. Can't wait for more elaboration. I miss the colored cards too.

[@shawndidstuffbeforehehadki806]

Simply amazing content. Great preparation for summer when I add in some cardio and can get my sandbag & mace outside!

[@michaelsenft3608]

Mark, where is the video on the heavy club clean and press? Is the press pressing the club out?

[@PoppyJr11]

A video on the get up would be nice too.

[@Tomara710]

Thanks for giving us an insight into your work. I'm glad you're taking better care of your hands.... I used to know a very sweet natured cream pony called Misty, she had a boyfriend too but i can't remember his name. They were inseparable. Very gentle creatures.

[@atosmanhaleksi]

Thank you sir, excellent program!

[@kayeljaybanjo3505]

Ever think about setting up a "virtual tip jar" on your website? Lots of comments of people wanting to give back in return for your knowledge sharing. Merch is fine, but I'd rather not keep adding stuff (other than fitness gear).

[@BigHat83]

Great video. Could you run a 3 week rotation? Week 1 is AB exercises for KB and Club Week 2 is CD Week 3 is EF This gives you 6 basic exercises and you're running different exercises each week. Do you think you'd still build over time? Or would you be pushing the reset button every 3 weeks?

[@Sparrowhawk187]

Why would someone thumbs down this video? What a Neo-Maxi Zoomdweebie!

[@rsgreen30]

This is absolutely the best video you've done yet (for me). It makes all the rest of them make sense, and gives me a way to plan (I'm a words girl, not an engineer, so the math is hard :) ) At over 45, I struggle with planning because 3x a week feels too little, and anything more than 3x heavy just wrecks me. But this gives me a better way to implement all my favorite tools in there, and the yoga, etc. that I need. I am assuming we could swap out the mace for a light club day?

[@MarkWildman]

Yes

[@paulmcdevitt877]

Mark do you train with sandbags at all? If yes, could you do a video on that training? Thanks and great stuff!

[@m.raufcelik7267]

Hello Mark, will we have to wait for the app for specifics on how to work with 2 handed clubs? i.e. which moves for how long on which days? Also, do you have plans to make videos for each level 1 to 7 exercises for each of the family of movements here?

[@crayzmarc]

Thank you!

[@yazan80]

I love that we now have another Tetris of training program for the 2H clubbell. MW in the ”program design 4” vid you mentioned that your 2H club program could replace TGU and squat day. I love TGU and Squats so my question is, following your 2H clubbell program on the app can I do it once a week or do I have to do it twice a week for meaningful progression. My second question is I use a 15 lbs CB for single arm. Should I start with the 15 lb for the 2H program or move up to a 20 lb CB?

[@heckl0r]

Hey Yazan, Quick question for you, as I can't find it covered in the videos. What are your target reps for the squat? Eg. 200 on light day, 150 heavy day? Squats are my least favourite move of the program lol & I just feel beat up the next day.

[@yazan80]

@@heckl0r if you mean KB single arm front squat then there is a video on this channel. Usually heavy days below 10x 5/5 and light days are above that to a maximum oh 20x 5/5, all depending on how far I am on the progression.

[@rydakule]

I’m pairing jump rope with kettlebells and looking to add a club in the near future. Would you recommend separating my jump rope days from the resistance training days? I’m currently doing swings, tgu, squats and c&p four days a week.

[@mattc41]

I'm curious what your metric(s) would be for when to switch someone from 2 hand club to 1 hand club in a program like this. Should they have gone through a series of weights/levels before making the change, or is being able to demonstrate solid form with an initial weight (say 15lb) good enough to make the change? Thank you so much for making these program design videos, I can't wait to have an app for this :)

[@CraigMassey_nz]

Summer's videos are where I first heard of you, some dude called Mark with a made up last name (I didn't know) was one of the instructors at her Flow retreat someplace, Costa Rica maybe? I found Summer from TacFit and club training Did NOT expect what I'm getting now when I started following you back then. OK, so definitely waiting for the app for the 2 hand club program. Until then I will carry on with my current implementation of one of your other Tetris models. I'm not sure exactly what heavy and light mean for TGU and swings in terms of set and rep structure so will need to fill that in before I can switch to this wholus bolus. I think there are clues in some of the other Tereis videos, will dig through them.

[@MrSteeJans]

Hi Mark, can we substitute single arm club in place of the 2 hand club for this template ?, or do you plan to do a separate video for that ? Thanks again for the great info!

[@a.lame.username.]

I'm pretty sure your answer is in the two handed club video from a couple of days ago?

[@MrSteeJans]

@@a.lame.username. I believe you’re referring to the order of operations videos, which described the order of movements, i.e. which exercises in which progressive sequence of complexity. You then apply this as a module within your Tetris program design. Note there were separate videos for 2H club vs. single arm club because the program design is different for each. This was why I asked my question: is the different program design within the 2H club vs. the single arm club sufficient to warrant a different approach when incorporating each as a module of the Tetris program design ? This video is a continuation of the original Tetris series, and shows how you can incorporate the different modules over the course of a single week. So the order of operations videos show what movements to use in what progression and intensity, and the Tetris videos show how frequently to do those workouts, and how to combine different workouts, ex: kettlebells & heavy clubs, on a weekly basis.

[@anitaelghandor7295]

That makes alot of sense😁thank you

[@bodhic6199]

Thank you for this!

[@tonykennedy8483]

This is great info, I'm doing KB and clubbell training with yoga for recovery already. If I want to put together a program that incorporates all of this along with practicing Martial arts, in my case punch/kick bag work and dry drilling Krav Maga, along with sessions on Zwift for cycling what advice do you have about adding it all together?

[@greggsy4564]

If I'm planning on getting an Adex, but want to learn the movements while waiting on backorder, would it be effective to get like a dowel or some kind of handle to practice almost like you would in karate forms? Or does learning not mean anything without the actual weight?

[@MarkWildman]

You kinda need the weight. Grab a cheap mace of off Amazon maybe?

[@flatpocket6395]

@Mark - Looking at adding Hapkido or Krav Maga into a program; any thoughts on which would be more beneficial? Given the intensity of training - would it be best to drop training on off days or club days?

[@gordonpatty8945]

Hey Mark, what would be the smartest way to layer a 30-40 mile per running week over this? Most workouts in the morning not more than two hours to spare a day. run morning weights afternoon? Also I bought Kenneth Jay's book since you mentioned it. Just started adding that once a week so far, that is all my hands can handle so far. Any thoughts would be great. I'm sure quite a few runners on here are wondering the same. Again thanks for the great info and keep up the good work!

[@crayzmarc]

Kenneth Jay book?.What is it about? And it's title please?

[@a.lame.username.]

Same...

[@storyinpictures6091]

It seems that these are really long times for doing 2H club before progressing to 1H club, let alone Double 1H club. Because of my sport-specific needs, single 1H and double 1H club training is much more useful. Is there a more expedient path to single and double 1H club training?

[@hampusheh]

If Mark would've done a double-take when the horse ran by, it would've been an almost perfect Kramerian (from Seinfeld) visual gag. Missed opportunity. Still great video tho.

[@Pcperoni]

Simply brilliant. Do you need anything else. Simple answer, NO.

[@kevinlilly619]

I can't find your video on a two handed club mill. I can find the progressions leading up to it, but not for the complete two handed mill movement video.

[@BenPabla]

Beautiful horse. I had the pleasure of helping a friend care for a newly adopted horse who was sadly blind. She was beautiful, named Chloe. Unusual very trusting. My friend usually only adopts dogs and has a little shelter outside the city for teem. But she got wind of a local farmer who didn’t need Chloe anymore (she was a breeding horse and couldn’t have only more foals) so my friend said screw it, I’ll build a barn and take her: and that’s what we did. Quick question: On the 2hand club days, would you only pick 2 exercises like the KB days? So KB day=TGU & Swings, and 2HCB=C&P & Squat? (Obviously, exercise selection is dependant on specific goals). And could the same weight of Club be used for 2 handed and SA days? So 15lb for my 2handed C&P and SA circles? Great video as always. Zoo lander is great (2nd film not so much but oh well). Peace Mark

[@BenPabla]

Jesus, apologies for the spelling errors

[@DoubtingThomasTestsEverything]

Do you think it's okay to run 2 programs per day. 1 program heavy and the other lighter. Then rest 1 day a week or is that too much?

[@hiphopinfukuoka]

Nice video bro! I really appreciate it! どうもありがとうございました! This means doumo arigatou gozaimashita

[@thenrie98]

A clarification. You've talked about a KB or CB program being one where you "never put the Bell down". But you have also talked about using an EMOM. In the EMOM don't you put the Bell down during the last parts of the minute? Is the EMOM a way to work your way towards "never put the Bell down"? Is the "never put the Bell down" your "time under tention" section that you working towards. And the EMOM is the "volume cycles" section you use with the goal of getting good enough to switch to "time under tension"? Sorry for basic question.

[@mackweber5806]

He talks about it in more detail in the Snatch Math video. Volume cycles first, then density. There's several ways to incorporate density depending on the exercise and the weight you have available.

[@heckl0r]

You can also build up to TUT such as non-stop swings for time. Mark mentioned he worked up to a total of 52 mins non-stop, which is some kind of immortal savagery. I think we would all pay to watch that!

Is it too ambitious to run a full kettlebell program and add club on top of it, say twice a week before the rest days?
