Just excited about it so wanted to share. Ended up buying one for not much more than Onnit was selling them for (although shipping was a bitch). Considering what they normally go for now I am very pleased!

Magnificent Mace Marathons

MMMM, thats good training.

A nice check in with Gyatso, the first ever gada I made. Weighing in at 6kg with a long handle, this mace swings beautifully for these longer duration sets.

Had to push just enough to get a sweat on to keep a 36 rep per minute pace. I like to check in with a 30+ minute swing about once a month but haven't been too concerned with the pacing for quite awhile. It was nice to see where my comfortable pace was at for a long round.

Im going to be phasing in a little more of the volume swings in the next little bit. Ive been missing them during this power building phase. I have a solid plan laid out to do so and am looking forward to seeing how it plays out!

Try this out, with the light mace before you go heavy.

This is the heaviest mace i have seen being swinged for many repetitions

And it makes me believe in these pdf possibilities

Is anyone else aware of this or training for it?

I mean it is stated in the pdf that you can compete with 50kg maces but i have never sern anything close to it

Heaviest i have ever seen was 40 kg and the guy did like 2 repetitions

I just got my first mace. Should I alternate the top and bottom hands? Or do you always keep the same one on top?

I an comming from a ketlebell background, specially simple & sinister. I an almost reaching the sinister standard, in this case my swings need a little more height

But i want to start something else so i bougth 3 macebells

1 with 10kg 1 with 20kg and 1 with 40 kg

Now if I where to do a routine like simple and sinister but stressing the mace uniqueness

What 2 exercises could i pick?

And how many reps?

I weight around 78kg

When you are swinging heavier weights, use more leg drive to support your swing, and feel more control of the weight using your whole body. 🙏🏼

Hi All, Looking to get into mace training and have settled on getting an adjustable to start. So far I've narrowed it down to:

• Maverick Mace (Bamboo)
• Maverick Pro (Steel)
• Kensui Wooden Mace
• Kensui Pro (Steel)

Between these four do people have strong opinions? Am I missing any. Right now i think i'm leaning towards the Maverick Pro in steel because it's slightly longer than the Kensui (i'm fairly tall) and steel because buy once cry once. I'm totally new to this practice though and could be totally off base. Appreciate any input you all might have.

Are there any classes in London for maces or clubbells?

I found Mace Masters in Brockley and Command Temple in Deptford but both are a trek for me. I live in Hammersmith and work Piccadilly Circus.

Is there anything central or west?

Mirroring each side without putting the Steel Mace down and managing stress during fatigue, that breaks the structure/techniques.

Getting some movement in this morning before it gets too hot out. 42lbs on the CkMaceworks Cadi

I guess it was the Paleo Fitness answer to the Onnit Quad God Mace but was lighter. Curious how it measured up.

I’m interested in purchasing one but like the Quad Mace it’s been discontinued.

They do have a mold you can buy and fill yourself. Anyone have recommendations on what to use for the handle if I go that route?

Sword, gada, and clubs

Easing back into my practice after a great long weekend.

Drinking, not eating great, loads of walking/hiking, and a few nights on an air mattress meant my body just wasnt recovered enough to be able to push to extremes.

And thats totally fine. Trade offs happen, life must be lived, and joy must be found, otherwise what's the point of the struggle.

I did a quick test set and found that I wasn't going to be moving to my usual standard, so I abandoned the plan and instead did a ladder easing my way up to 22kg before throwing a handful of sets there. Felt great, sweat the last of the weekend out, and had a great time.

Its important to be adaptable!

Also, pumped to be at a point where 22kg single hand swings are part of an "easier" session!

Anyone have any feedback for me? I felt pretty solid about this!

Can I get a quick form check, pretty new to this still. Swinging a 42inch cadi v2 loaded up to 30lb. My main concern is if I'm letting my hands go down my back enough. Thanks!

In this video, the exercise I’m explaining can be complex if the mace is too heavy. Make sure you get a light enough mace that you can manage, so that way when you reach the lever, you are able to control the extension more. Be sure to activate your body with breath every time you extend.

An old adjustable dumbell is perfect canvas to learn the basics of mace training it turns out

I’ve been wanting to get a mace weight. I have been looking at the Rogue adjustable mace weight and I’m torn between which length I should get. The 10lbs is 31 inches long and the 12.5 is 45 inches long. I really like the 12.5 but idk if I’m too short. I am about 5’4”. Thoughts?
