From a teacher: you are an excellent teacher. Explain, demonstrate, explain, demonstrate, repeat.

I like how Mark shares in a constructive, non-insulting, way. Gracious man who speaks a lot of sense!

"You're doing it not very right" is possibly the most positive way of telling someone they are doing it wrong.

Nobody's better than Wildman as far as instruction in my humble opinion. Attention to detail, encouragement, focus on form and improvement, repetition, safety, and an empathetic toughness that you learn to trust with your health and life are all features of his great example. Even his voice is confident, reassuring, and has a tempo towards his instruction. Of the very best instructors I ever had in decades in the military, Mark Wildman brings back memories of those men and women whom I miss very much. He's out-fucking-standing!

I think I finally found my go-to YouTube KettleBell instructor

[AEYRivera]

I'm a middle aged fart with really crappy knees so I never thought of doing the TGU. Your concise instructions encouraged me to try it. I can do it know but with lousy form but the basic steps are there. I just use a really light weight to start with - around 4 kilos. It's a really great exercise. No wonder it never went away. Just two complete reps per side gave me a good workout. Thanks, Mark.

"You don't have to look at the ground, it's always in the same spot" Thanks Mark, sometimes i need constant reminders to not overthink things. This video really helped my TGU form.

[Hell_Inc]

damn, that’s an amazing breakdown of TGUs. Again, the attention to detail is great.
Thank you, Mark!

[FDonovan]

What I really appreciate about these videos is that you always talk about reps & sets: from beginner to very advanced. It's really important for me to understand where I 'am' and yet the majority of videos I watch on KBs or weights/fitness in general, rarely mention reps& sets.

[antonomaseapophasis]

This video does not get old.
A lot of things that I heard but did not understand, thus I did not actually hear.
A joy to watch explanations (like explanation of “shoulder packing” without using the term) which have taken me a year to lay the foundation to understand.
A modestly presented teaching tour de force

[geoffreycann]

Mark would be the best teacher of kettlebell I have watched. Comprehensive and easy to understand instructions and clear presentation. I am a Trained teacher and appreciate his professional skills.

[tklymkiv]

Thank God I found your channel Mark. This content is priceless, thank you for taking time to put it together for the general audience. I’ve been doing exercises with light kettlebells for a week and I already feel so much better and 10 years younger. I feel muscles that I haven’t felt in years or maybe even never. I have more energy and great deep sleep. I never thought that you can get so much benefit with just a kettlebell and it also doesn’t take much time, so it’s great for a busy person. I feel so much better after a week of training and I’m looking forward to what’s ahead. Thank you again, Mark.

This is the best video I’ve seen for Turkish Get Ups. I watched other videos and they don’t explain it as well, so I had bad form as a result. Now I know how to do them correctly!

[thlvlMage]

I've watched so many of your videos in the past few days. Your encouragement is as top tier as your instructions. Not everyone can handle hearing they did something "wrong" so phrasing it the way you do probably keeps a lot of people going who might have thought of quitting.

[mrmbr]

The best step by step with technical detail
Absolutely great

[alexanderzheliazkov]

I subscribed just to reward youtubers who do not talk for 10 minutes before showing you something, but goes immediately straight to the point, and keeps his videos between 5 and 10 minutes

[strengthmobilitylongevity]

Mark Great content & demo. I'm 58 and did not implement Kettlebells until age 50,
TGUs specifically have been key in restoring lost Mobility & functional strength. Have worked up to 50 TGUs in 28 minutes with 60 lbs

[joelwitherspoon]

I'm 50 and started doing these three months ago after my accident. They've really helped me gain back mobility in the pelvic area and upper back. I don't know why they don't have this exercise in PT

[jacoblancia]

So currently I do a very Pavel-esque one of these every minute, for 10 minutes (so 10 total getups-5 per side). I love your nerd math videos, and I’m trying to figure out what I’m working towards. You sort of say it here, I’m just looking for clarity what my goal is volume-wise before a new bell.

You’ve changed my life man. Genuinely thank you.

[nandobreiter]

What sound issues? This is so well done as it is, particularly the explanations why the TGU is so useful, and the details. First time I've been this inspired to incorporate the TGU in my routine! If you want to do it again, fine, but no need to delete this. It's excellent.
