    I appreciate that Mark shoots videos in work settings and while wearing jeans and workboots. Not only does it look awesome, but it sends a message: you don't have to be an athlete to benefit from exercise. It's for everyone who wants to live better. I'm a tradesman and I am always trying to convey this message to my fellows.

    I love the double KB front squat as an accessory to my regular barbell back squat. I notice it works my core and stabilizing muscles so much, that it transfers well to some of those "weak points" in the barbell squat. Since I started incorporating the double KB front squat, I can barbell back squat much more without needing to use a belt.
    I think Dan John called the muscles the double KB front squat the "anaconda muscles." It definitely feels that way once you start doing them.

      @drunknnirish Před 8 měsíci +2

      @@ccclaw13 That is a tough choice. Swings, overhead press, and double front squats are all in the conversation I just find the mobility benefits with squats are awesome. Although that is just speaking of kettlebells, I think if you really want to look at "the one" you would be very hard pressed to do better than the barbell clean and press (because it has a front squat in it unlike the kettlebell version).

    • @bhismabakhai2320
      @bhismabakhai2320 Před měsícem +1

      So full dkb clean and press id say is the best. Swing, clean, squat, press, and repeat.

    • @drunknnirish
      @drunknnirish Před měsícem

      @@bhismabakhai2320 The full clean and press including the front squat is just better done with a barbell due to weight limitations of the kettlebells, and the fact its really hard to catch a kettlebell clean mid swing and use the squat to power the bells up as you would in a barbell clean and press. Some movements are just better done with certain implements, while it can be done with kettlebells that doesn't mean they are optimal.
      I think with kettlebells it comes down to the ones I listed of swing, press, or front squat (keep in mind you will be doing at least one double clean on every set of press and front squats to get the bells up to the rack) and an valid argument can be made for any of them, I just pick front squats for mobility and over all systemic stress load.
      On a side note I have never seen someone who can heavy front squat not be able to do all the other kettlebell lifts but I have seen people who are very good at clean and press or snatch fail to be able to do heavy front squats.

    When I started doing double KB front squats august of last year, I lacked the flexibility to go past 90 degrees. I am now able to go full range and there are just so many aches and pains in my mid 50s body that have been fixed. One of my favorite exercises!

    The old Soviet Union plus Warsaw Pact Countires are the king of Olympic Style Weightlifting.
    Their training revolved around the front squat because it is the bottom position of the clean and snatch.
    If you watch old training footage, when they back squatted, it was the Tom Platz method, bar high on the shoulders, vertical spine and ATG.
    The Russians did clean, snatch, front squat, jerk, pushpress, Romanian Deadlifts, pullups, dips and kettlebells for conditioning

    The U.S. Army uses a hex bar Deadlift as a test element in the Army Combat Fitness Test.

    I have no interest in acquiring barbell etc..
    Will this do in lieu of the hex bar Deadlift?

    I've got 2 35lb bells and a 50lb bell. I'm 33 and am acclamating to exercise. I got it down with the dublbe 35s so next week sometime I'll pick up another 50lb bell. I'm already snatching the 50lb bell is sets of 3 to 8 per arm. I'm not going to do a dubble snatch that heavy but I think that I have enough reps in to start doing a 100lb front sqout though.

    • @MarkWildman

      Not Mark but jumping in because this has been addressed in the past: yes, uneven weights are fine, so long as you do an equal volume of work with both sides (equal sets of the heavier weight on left and right). Just switch between sets. Your core will love/hate you.

  • @jayong33
    @jayong33 Před 8 měsíci +2

    Question for Mark & community: How does the double KB front squat compare to a single KB front squat or uneven double KB front squat? I have a range of KBs from 16-24 kgs, but I don’t have two of the same. I imagine there would be more cross-bracing and therefore more core activation (abs by accident!). Any real drawbacks compared to the double KB front squat with equal KBs?

    • @Accountank
      @Accountank Před 8 měsíci

      Squatting with a single racked KB requires greater cross-body stabilisation while double KB should provide more balance and allow you to move more total weight in each rep without falling over, and more total weight is a good thing.
      You could think of e.g. a single racked 20kg KB as being a very uneven double KB movement, with 20kg total... 20 on one side and 0 on the other... It follows that if you added 16kg to the other side, you would have a less uneven double KB lift of 36kg total with 20 one side and 16 the other. So there's nothing fundamentally wrong with doing these uneven weights if you don't have matched weights, but I would suggest matching as close as you can (eg 18/22 is a better pair than 16/24).
      If you're going to work with uneven pairs, make sure you always alternate the L/R sides you are working on between sets, for example 18/16 one set, 16/18 the next. Just the same as if you were working with a single kb which you could think of as a double that's e.g. 16/0 one set and 0/16 the next :)

    • @drunknnirish
      @drunknnirish Před 8 měsíci

      If I am doing singles it’s the goblet squat because I’m doing them as a warm up or weighted mobility. I personally see no benefit to do single rack squats. I don’t put too much stock into the fact your abs work harder because an offset load. Anyone can do this drill of doing a single sided 32kg then doing doubles and see which one requires you to brace harder. Also the double or any other heavy front squat is the single best upper back building movement you can do which intern makes everything else easy most of all overhead lock out movements like the press and snatch.
