Thank you

I have the same questions! 🤓

@@fitnessandfandom Mark coaches the shoulder width apart (standard) and feet straight ahead so that's the ideal for here. Dan John invented the goblet squat and in his videos you'll see toes pointed out somewhat. So look I think I answered my own question, watch for excessively pointing the feet out, track knees to feet on movement, feet width slightly narrower / wider depending on your anatomy, explore hip mobility ( in the goblet squat like s&s prying or using Mark's or other mobility programs). Over time see if changes to hips allow feet angle to change or with more experience maybe the body will signal "yep this position is fine!" Oh yeah, clubs / arc in various stances, were barring squats, there's no problem pointing ahead,would obviously add to gaining this position.

Have you run a deck squat cycle and done the hip mobility series?

Without seeing it, it’s hard to tell, but yes. Many people turn out until they’ve done the club training as well

@@MarkWildman I have the same issue. Might be related hip retroversion. If so, more mobility isn’t going to help you since your hip bone is getting in the way of your femur. The only way to achieve depth is by turning your toes out. Mark-do you agree? Or do you have another solution for us.

Progression, the same side foot goes into step back lunge during the clean following the rear swing.

Fixed it

Yes, a club squat is suitable replacement for a goblet squat. Mark does it in this Nerd Math video. Replacing kettlebell squats with his two handed Club Mill Squat program kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jr-lnLKkp6faiH0.html I think the overweight/deconditioned training with single-arm clubs and the Kettlebell(suitcase Deadlift, goblet squat, single arm over head press) is easier/proto/digressed version of this intermediate training plan. Kettlebells Deadlifts get replaced with swings. So you could do a single arm version of this Heavy Club Swing Clean kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jripeaiXt8isiY0.html I believe that Mark has stated that the clean and (overhead) press is a fundamental movement that helps people stand all the way up. And the Kettlebell single arm press helps improve core engagement. If you watch Mark’s Nerd Math videos on a weekly program design there is always an overhead press it just progresses from a kettlebell single arm press to single arm clean and press to double kettlebells clean and press to a clean and jerk to long cycle…. So I would say he views them has important. If you are delaying getting kettlebells because of financial considerations, you can use dumbbells if you have them around to do these exercises. My personal experience tells me kettle bells are preferable to dumbbells because of greater core activation, but we work with what we have. Maybe you have a small tool bag full of wrenches that you could press and deadlift like a kettlebell. Adding or removing to reach an appropriate weight for you.

engaged.

It’s 20 k. It’s an adjustable bell that makes 19 different weights from bells of steel

Sounds like a variation of the rock bottom pickup.

That is incredibly hard

@@MarkWildman Definitely. I do halos in a lunge position using slow rotation for core work and have to keep the weight a lot lower than other kb movements.
