I just started a job at a gym and found a mace collection that ive been messing around with. I want use them to build my core and shoulder health. Additionally, I really like the warrior aspect of it all. Are there any texts centered around mace training I can find? Thanks lads.
What a fun movement
Hey! Before i purchase, I want to make sure I make the rig but one for me. I live in an apartment, so mace is out of the question. I’m more intrigued by clubs and the short mace though. I like the idea of a shorter mass - assuming that it’s truly versatile and can do what the club and mace individually do (aside from the difference in length and leverage).
I’m REALLY considering the shorty or the Cadi Club from CK maceworks, as well as the Adex Arc or Club. I really prefer the look and possible feel for the CK Club, but I’m concerned with the potential limit of exercises that one would have with the diameter of plates. I fear going above 2.5 lb plates, since I’ve never used a club or mace, especially with the thought that the wide diameter of standard 5 lbs and 10 lbs would rock off my teeth, nose, brain and/or knees.
So, I’m asking those with experience with the Cadi Club, should my concerns be a concern? It’s these concerns that’s make me learn towards the smaller diameter of the Adex Club or Arc.
Also, I’m concerned about the Cadi Club or Arc being too long for mills. I’m not tall at more or less 5’10” tall.
Btw, My purpose is to include club or mace into my primary protocol of progressive calisthenics and kettlebells.
Various transitions of the mill.
Iron grip has a mace and it’s actually pretty good. Maybe a touch longer than I like but solid especially if you already have the dumbbells. 60.5lbs here. Has anyone else messed with it?
“Beautiful when I took em home, ugly when I woke up.” Hope you are all well! I don’t what these swings are doing to the property value 😂😂 anyway, enjoy.
Out here doing the most, lol !😂 the work is never done. Be well
300 swings with 40lbs along with some Fatbell benching with 125’s and battle ropes
I’m curious about the https://the-paraball.com/collections/clubbels-and-maces anyone used them yet?
Pull day, hope you are well, enjoy the work. 💪💪💪

Got a push day this morning- chest, tris and shoulders (abs built in) 3 sets to failure then drop the weight. Hope you’re all well and thanks for watching!
I didn't see anything in the sub's search results on this topic for at least a couple years. How are people getting their maces off the floor these days? After all these years, I'm still shocked no one I can find is selling a way to effectively store maces on the wall.
Ideally, I would love a power rack attachment, similar to the pool cue barbell holders, but I realize wall-mounted is probably going to be more popular. Is everyone just doing DIY or leaving them in a pile on the floor?
Morning everyone, hope you are well. Got some 30lb single arm swings for a warmup before work ( I move furniture). Get in right on to of failure. Enjoy!”
New to this style of training and I’m having trouble even finding a place to buy a mace in person. I thought I could probably make one myself. Any ideas?
Built up sets of 360s from 30 to 60lbs this morning in 2x10 rep increments. These are pretty sloppy but it's a new weight for me, +5lbs. I couldn't get the last rep to set correctly regardless of which side I started from, fatigue sets in and any little problem like with footing or whatever amplifies at this weight. It'll come in time
I picked these up while on a work trip in Eastern Europe a month ago. At 5kg apiece, I can't yet use them both simultaneously, but I have finally worked up to one-handed mills. I look forward to the day I can use them both as intended
360’s… 10/2’s… drop sets… failure… All this in name of hypertrophy. I hope you are well. Enjoy.
Night time lunges to failure each side with drop sets and bonus swings. Enjoy the work. Be well.
Hi all, please let me know where to improve on swings with my 10 lb mace! Starting to explore the world of mace since getting into kettlebells. Some swings feel really great while others feel clunky or the mace hits my butt or back.
Also, do you actively push/pull with both hands or does 1 work more while the other is supporting?
Chest and back work with the Longboi: drop sets, eccentric failure, you know the drill. My goal here is hypertrophy so there is a good bit of volume and the reps stay intense. I go with feels like it’s giving the best stimulus to fatigue ratio. Be well and swing on!
First time swinging 70lb 360’s. Handle is pretty heavy so it’s easier than doing it for real. Still kicked my ass though lol
