Wow, yor merch is so expensive son , dont you have enough money already? Btw, why dont you have a hoodie that says “do it more better”
The model’s technique seems decent, but where are the feet? Fatal flaw for a basic instructional video like this.
Could you identify the specific muscles the exercise works…in future videos…love the content
Great, I can’t fathom doing a high windmill yet so this is a perfect starting point.
Know understood why i can’t do this? proper teach sir
It’s helps me
love the videos man, keep it up:) got myself a 16 kg kettlebell, wil order a 20 kg soon:)
No. Incorrect. This in fact is not how to execute this movement.
Love the video guys!!! Pat, cut your hair please! You are way better looking with your head shaved!!! Of course, your wife have the last call…:)
Glad to see there is a way to do these if hamstring flexibility isn’t great…
Hey Mark….I’m very good at the straight leg high windmill. Is this form worth doing?
Video suggestion how to prevent brachioradialis / forearm tendonitis when starting with kettlebells and clubbells and what to do if you have some tendonitis before you start.
Just started listening to the Podcasts. Love them guys! Keep em coming
Is this done with a staggered stance? Is the leading foot slightly in front?
Hey Mark, hope youre doing well. I’m wondering if you have some sort of course available or would you recommend starting with simple and sinister?
Keith man your old videos were my first introduction to the world of Kettlebells. Will always love you for that. Im from Pakistan and they aren’t very popular here and no one really teaches proper technique. Thank you for changing my fitness life and making me fall in love with this beautiful instrument. You are an inspiration.
podcast and videos are dope as hell. not only full of information but incredibly entertaining!
Hi Mark. What areas of the body does this move target or is it for general core and functional flexibility/movement? Thanks for the instruction, which has been great for someone trying to get into KB’s, especially as “basic human” is becoming my goal.
A question: how important is the windmill exercise? I feel like it has the potential to injure me and am hesitant to integrate it into my routine. Should I stick with it or look for alternatives?
How do I work out my head? I’m trying to get mine as big as Joe Rogans..
Is the idea that as strength develops with proficiency at this movement to then work toward keeping the feet straight ahead rather than angled a 45 degrees?
U guys r doing grt explained very nicely every exvercise in all ur videos
My lat and shoulder get pretty sore when the kb is overhead. This
helps a great deal. Thanx, Mark
Way cool, in my progression, I’ll probably add them in another couple of weeks.
This is exactly the sort of thing I’m looking to add to my little quarantine workout. How many reps and sets would you recommend as a start on this? Sets of 10 10s?
I live in South Africa and do mainly kettle bell workouts in the evenings outside my workshop.
Your teaching helps me a lot since I am not just swinging the damn thing around until I get bored.
Here we would call you “‘ ‘n Yster” Means basically made from steel or “don’t fuck with that guy”
Now i wannna see a tutorial about what to do with my kettlebell when God decide that the ground is no more under my feet! ;p Great job, by the way!!! Congratulations!
Thank you so much Mark.I tend to fear this high wind mill version. I will try it out with your instructions
Thank you once again and keep doing the good work.
You are amazing man!!!
Excellent demonstration. Can you please elaborate on your next windmill video, what muscles are involved and what benefits one should expect from this exercise? Thanks in advance.
Another well done episode I can incorporate those tomorrow on leg/glutes day!:)
This videos are great! I really like how you’ve focused on technique in creating solid, safe, effective movements. Any chance you will put together videos for programming full kettlebell training sessions?
As always, I really like the content.:) This isn’t advisable yet for beginners (i.e. with just a little over 2 weeks training of 4x a week), yeah?
Your hands are absolutely out of control while you’re talking
Hi mark,
Not clear on how to integrate all of these windmill variations into a routine. Maybe you can piece these together with swings and TGU?
What’s your opinion if Pavel’s S&S program. What do you thing is missing to making it more “complete”
I would sooo love to see a video where you adress the problems that arise if the ground is not beneath the feet.
OK I am using the COVID-19 thing to learn kettlebells (or at least attempt to) I just added the high windmill to my workout this evening and they are a lot harder than they look!!
I LOVE the way you explain things in these/your videos! Concise, succinct, complete, logical, and even a bit humorous, with useful tips/tricks.
Thanks!
Stay safe!:)
Great instruction. Was struggling so much with this until seeing this demo. Thanks.
The subtle movement of pushing the hip slightly to the back. Is something I’ve either never been shown or just simply and completely over looked it. Thank you. Another helpful video.
I loved this excercise, buuuuuuut…i got a little pain doing them tonight…Do you have any recomendation to improve the muscle tone of the working area just to decrease any possible injury?? I feel THIS IS the proper excercise to workout my abs, plus the L-sit in parallets
Very good explained, super tutorial! Nobody else explained the bending and the hipposition
Could or should the legs be straight or should they had a slight bend to them thanks
Thank you for your excellent videos Mr. Wildman, they are really appreciated! Best regards from the UK.
Interesting with the load down feels much safer ie stability..cheers mate
I learned a lot from your channel. I now look forward to your new posts. Would you please talk a bit more about the programs working out with kettlebell? What are your routines? And I would appreciate if you would also make some videos on working with weight maces.
Hi MW, thank you so much for all the great content! I would love to see a vid on cooling down. I find stretches super boring, so I am wondering if there are any I really should be doing (in the context of a basic kettlebell workout). Can exercises with a stretching component stand in for post-workout stretching?
What do you do if you can’t reach floor? Say hamstrings are too tight and painful.
How many reps should you aim for? And would this be a good warm up if you are going to deadlift that day?
Excellent. As someone with longstanding shoulder issues, this is a great exercise for me to get good lower back work in, while I try to rehab my shoulders. Thanks Mark.
When viewed by someone unfamiliar with the KB windmill it is often thought of as a version of the Yoga triangle pose. In reality not much is similar at all.
Remember: Windmill = thoracic rotation + hip flexion. NOT rounding at your low back.
I love how Mark says “don’t do that” the “duh” is implied in his tone of voice. Brilliant!
These are very helpful videos but if I had a degree in biomedical engineering like Mark I would rather be working on medical technology in this age of COVID-19. Mark Wildman do you regret leaving engineering at all?
Hey guys, could you speak to the effect (or not) of the windmill on shoulder strength, mobility and/or stability? I really appreciate y’all’s work.
Thanks Mark, really appreciate the detailed videos.
I’ve had a couple kettlebells for years
Never did much more than swings. With the self isolation, a kettlebell is the perfect home gym and your videos make it a fullbody work out
Your chia seed coconut pudding is legit. You should have way more followers besides.
I would suggest your followers do this with a tennis ball first. You are a very skilled person who makes difficult movements appear easy; This is NOT an easy movement. The definition of a professional is…
Tried these the other day and it felt awesome. How would you recommend throwing this into a routine? How frequent, and should these be done as a warmup before DLs or after to burn out?
These are so well done!! Damn it is so easy when you explain it. Don’t look for the groundit is always under your feet. Love that comment. ✌
Mark, in terms of the 6 moves you recommend what would a normal week look like from a training perspective.. a different move each day over 6 days or 2 moves a day every other day or a different combo. Understand the programming weight wise and progressions but would be great to see a rough guide to the week.
Love it. Gonna create a flow with the Turkish get up into a windmill perhaps a pendulum swing. The sarcasm is perfect. I’ll definitely remember not to look down! Thanks for the video. Still contemplating doing some deck squats I will eventually.
DANG! Okay. So you don’t ALWAYS want your feet parallel… Could you do a video about the overhead squat? I’ve been trying to do it with feet parallel and I can’t work past 10 slooooow reps of 11 kg (25 lbs) while all my other exercises are comfortable at 16 kg and I don’t want to move on until everything is at the same baseline
I just did these yesterday. It’s great to run the compare on my form. My biggest issue is sit part at the beginning and I am not bending at the knee enough as he is demonstrating. I like Mark’s movement pattern to touch your palm. That’s the best way to do it. I have a couple of fixes to make for another run this week. These are wonderful exercises.
very great channel, thank you soo much for sharing such knowledge.
Love these videos, short and to the point, IOW concise and efficient
