This has been my no. 1 physical problem for the past 25 years. In the last 6 months though I've fixed most or all of it with; 1 - dead hangs; 2 - kb overhead press; 3 - mace 360/shield cast; and 4 - bodyweight rows. It disappoints me to no end that i didn't know how simple the solution was 25 years ago.

@sparke7236 A single arm side swipe from low to high (or rather horizontal) seems do do something for my rounded shoulders. What makes a difference is rotating the arm at the end, horizontal position to thumbs up. That makes all the muscles rotating the scapula back activate. I consciously do a little extra at that end. Otherwise it wouldn't work for rounded shoulders. I guess this could be developed into a diagonal swipe too. From pulling a sword to high toarch, or something like that.

A couple years ago when I first got my 15 lb club and realized it felt heavier than I thought it would, I was still eager to try these movements because I thought they looked cool but I found my softball bat in a closet and practiced with it first. I knew I wouldn't get the movements perfectly but I played with the bat for some time before trying anything with the club. Definitely did not want to be confused swinging something weighted anywhere along my body. There was still a "I better be careful moving up from a light bat to something heavier" moment when I moved away from the bat, but the adjustment was not bad. The main thing for me was noticing with the bat that you have to stop it on a dime when returning to order position and then keeping it in mind that it's even more important keeping that awareness with the club. .

@MarkWildman. Thank you! Youre the best of the best and thank God for your TOI program!!!!!

thanks for sharing Mark!

Thanks, Mark.

Thank you very much for this video! Really help me doing this rotations.

I feel I need this

Great, as always. Tons of useful advice in simple easy language. Rotate, push swing pull balance!

Hey Mark. I've just got my first heavy club (15 lb). I took it out for a spin, and it humbled me a lot. I really look forward to re-watching all your club videos and perfecting my technique. Thanks for all you do.

We have a massive 2 hand club program to get you set in a proper program for years of development

Got that bat in a corner by front door. Comes in handy for warmup and for things that go bump in the night.

I recommend cold steel bats for a reason. You’ll notice mine is chewed up in the center from doing defensive drills against live machetes. I have the utmost faith in this thing

i made my own clubbell by cutting open a kid's plastic tee ball bat, filling it with concrete and then welding the plastic back together again. it works great!

I made mine by strapping ankle weights onto a plastic bat wrapped in foam, got both from the Five Below store. 🙂

Mark, I have 6 & 7 years old boys, I wonder if there is some stuff to do for them? That would be great if you can make some videos about what exercise would work or better to start for kids. What weight, etc.

Do you have any advice about improving balance and avoiding falls as time goes by?

how heavy should the bat be? i want to start doing this exercise this weekend.

Excellent video and instruction, Mark. Thank you. Would this work as well with a kettlebell or Hydrocore, or does it need a bat/club?

The length of the club helps people end up in better positioning faster. Club is the absolute king for this

There is some progression in “introduction to heavy club” program warmups, witch I really recommend. I would also love to see more of it here.

Looks like Whittier Narrows. Guessing it’s East LA again, though.

An aluminum bat with a plastic end cap allows for filling the bat with rice, sand, concrete, etc.

If that’s not good enough you can drill out the end of the bat and pour lead in. Be sure and create a chamfer so the lead doesn’t fly out.

If you see someone doing this exercise with a t-shirt while running across their lawn it means they stepped on a bees nest .

Hi Mark! I know this request post/comment doesn't fit in this video, but I wasn't sure you'd see/read a comment a few days late in an older video........ Since we seem to have come to the unilaterally loaded deadlift portion of the Basic KB exercises series, I'd like to request you to please do detailed technique videos on the Single arm-Single leg KB RDL movement family (& its variations, like the B-stance RDL) -- There is a lot of confusion & non-standardization w.r.t. this movement. Should we hold the KB in the same hand as the rising leg, or in the opp. hand (i.e. same side as the stance leg)? Should/Can the stance leg bend at the knee, or not? How much? We're supposed to hinge at the hip, but this is more difficult to do, imagine & feel with one leg on the ground... How high should we raise the non-stance leg? For the B-stance RDL, how far behind the main stance leg should the kickstand/balance leg be placed? I, for one, even after watching a ton of YT videos on these, still haven't got the hang of these exercises mainly because the instructions are either incomplete, or confusing, or at times even contradictory (several 'experts' say things opposite of each other!)... This has caused me to basically give up on these, as I tend to feel these movements less in the target muscles (glutes, hammies) & more in my lower back -- which is not great -- and which is a pity as these movements are great for building strength & stability! These are relatively simple movements/exercises which I don't think you have covered previously (at least not in this series - Basic KB Exercise series) - and I think these do qualify as 'basic KB' exercises... Maybe you can cover them all in a single video; or maybe break them up into multiple individual videos -- whatever you see fit... Hoping to get detailed instructional videos on these, Mark... Thanks for all you do, Mark! Have a good 'un!

Hey Mark, I know Cold Steel makes several different versions of their bats. If you have all the different bats (I feel like you might in the workout equipment/weapon collection 😂) or have an opinion on which bat model you prefer or would recommend...which bat would that be? Or that could make an interesting video perhaps. Thanks Mark

@wesdavis8 I would use Indian Clubs very carefully for a long time. When ready for heavier clubs, I would still use Indian clubbs for warm up. If it hurts, work around that. There's a kind of hurt telling you not to do something. And another which tells you you have to do it. Actually, most rehab is about doing something that's very inconvenient.

Do the bat or club do things that a Kettlebell halo would not? Just wondering whether this exercise might be interchangeable with the halo

Short answer, yes. Long answer, because the weight of a club is on the end of a longer lever, it forces your body to compenstate slightly different.

I have 5 pound club bells but never tried a baseball bat and maybe add a weight doughnut.

Just learn to play guitar and sing and you won't have to worry about any of this. lol

That is hilariously Un true, but I appreciate the idea.

As for the feet pointing straight forward Mark, if you let your leg(s) hang naturally by tilting your body sideways(lifting your foot off the ground from the hip tilt) you can see how you hip rotates to it's natural position and most people will have a slight more or less angle to where their toes are pointing outside the line, very few people have a naturally straight forward pointing foot. Keeping your feet pointing forward when it's not their natural position isn't good either.

@wally6193 I guess the cue could be: point your knees straight forward. Because that what matters. If your feets points out when your knees points forward, then you have to let them.
