I love your detail, it's what elevates your content above the others mate. Totally would have put the kettlebells to the side if you hadn't have said

Love this exercise. I first used it as substitute for the bench when I had a frozen shoulder. I wish I had this video back then! I had to work out the details myself which used up a lot of gym time at first. Thanks!

Great video, it's really helped me develop my chest with kettlebells and your videos inspired me to get into kettlebell weight training,

I had to watch twice. First time I spent checking out that crazy ghost town abandoned wildwest movie set behind you.

Hey mark, I enjoy your content a lot, it's great. Would it be possible to do an order of operation video for the hydrocore? You mention some nerd math in some of the exercice videos but it would be cool to understand the bigger picture as you see it. Cheers!

It will be a month. There’s so much on the list ahead of it.

Never seen that option for getting the bells into position. I had been doing side rolls but this looks a lot easier.

Would using offset bells make it harder and be benificial?

@@MarkWildman in the unboxing you talked about using spacers in the KBs. Are you using the bells with or without spacers?

“It (the kettlebell) destroys things in front of you.” Haha

Is it better to do this exercise with one arm or two? I recall you did this one armed in the past and cited the advantage of "cross firing" core muscles to stabilize the body when doing it with one arm. Thanks

Do all the details you mentioned apply to the single kettle bell press?

Mark can you do a floor press with a mace and if so could you do a video on it?

Can you make a playlist of all the "candy" exercises? Would pullups be a candy exercise?

I would argue that a pull-up is necessary in all forms of training. Not a “candy” exercise (for aesthetics).

Hey, we have a *2nd* DVG?! What doesn't he like about this movement/exercise??!! This is a *great* exercise for chest development for people having shoulder issues (usually through poor bench pressing technique). This exercise 'forces' a safe & good technique! What's there not to like?! Sure, you could do this with dumbbells as well...

Mark I have seen a video where a log was used on an incline bench to press with. My question is would using a log on a flat bench work seeing that the barrel of the log would stop that over stretching you mention here.

You get more core activation than with a regular bench press, it is also “safer” due to your elbows not being able to go below parallel to your shoulders, which also makes you able to take it failure without the need of a spotter.

@@ajithsidhu7183 Really comes down to what you want out of the exercise. A kettlebell floor press is more “open-chain” because you have to control the weights individually on each side, which means more muscles will have to fire in order to stabilise them. If you use both sides to push one object (like a sack or a barbell) your body will have an easier time to work as a unit and therefore we will often be able to move more weights (majority of people will be a lot stronger with a bar than with bells).
