WILDMAN ATHLETICA: GENERAL FAQs
If you're completely new, returning from injury, dealing with chronic pain, or have been inactive for a long time, start with PHASE I.
PHASE I combines:
- Training for Overweight & Deconditioned Individuals (TOI)
- Intro to Kettlebells (ITK)
- Indian Clubs & Heavy Clubs
These programs rebuild basic human movement, restore standing structure, and prepare you for more advanced training later. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
If you are already active and healthy but new to kettlebells, Intro to Kettlebells (ITK) is usually the best place to begin. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
The best beginner kettlebell is the lightest weight that allows you to learn technique safely and consistently.
- Most women: 8–12kg
- Most men: 12–16kg
- If you are injured, older, or deconditioned, start lighter
Mark consistently teaches that technique comes before weight. The goal is not to start heavy—it's to build movement quality that allows decades of training. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Most people should start much lighter than they think.
- Most women: 5–10 lbs
- Most men: 10–15 lbs
- If in doubt, choose the lighter option
Heavy clubs use leverage and rotational force. A club that feels easy during a curl may feel surprisingly heavy during mills, shield casts, and circles.
Mastering movement with a lighter club will produce better long-term results than struggling with a heavier one.
Move up in weight when the program—not your ego—says it's time.
- You can complete every workout with good technique
- Your recovery remains consistent
- The current weight no longer feels challenging
- You can maintain proper breathing and posture throughout the session
Wildman programs are built around long-term progression. The goal is sustainable improvement over years, not maxing out every workout. Many programs are designed to be repeated through multiple weight levels. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Most Wildman Athletica programs are not short-term challenges.
They are designed as long-term training systems that can be expanded through multiple weights and progressions.
Some programs can provide years of progression as you move through weight levels and training cycles. The goal is to build an athlete for life, not complete a six-week transformation. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Yes.
Wildman programming is built around stacking different movement patterns together. Many athletes combine kettlebells, clubs, mace, bodyweight, mobility, and conditioning programs.
The goal is to create a balanced, resilient athlete rather than specializing in only one movement pattern. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Because not everyone starts in the same place.
Someone recovering from surgery, someone who has never exercised before, and someone who is already athletic all require different entry points.
Wildman Athletica provides multiple starting programs so athletes can begin at the level that matches their current abilities and build safely from there. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

No.
One of the core ideas behind Wildman Athletica is that training should be affordable, portable, and accessible.
Many programs require only a single kettlebell, a club, a mace, a slamball, or simply your own bodyweight. Several programs can be performed in a living room, garage, hotel room, or small outdoor space. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
To become better at being human.
Wildman Athletica focuses on developing strength, endurance, mobility, coordination, balance, and resilience that transfer directly to everyday life and real-world activities.
The goal isn't just looking fit. The goal is building a body that remains capable, adaptable, and useful for decades. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
You need something that you can cast to in order to cast- for example iphone to imac or chromecast.
For most devices, yes, you can cast from your device using the "cast"icon in the top right corner of the app. You can cast your entire picture and audio from there to your tv (if you have chrome cast or apple tv installed on this device) or your laptop (if compatible).
First, make sure you have the correct email that you purchased with. If that looks good- you can send a one-time login link to your email straight from the mobile app. Of course if that doesn't work, try changing your password or contacting our team for support.
