I love how ominous this title is

I love your short, to-the-point, evidence based videos, and your calm and relaxing delivery. No showy nonsense, no irrelevant rambling, just high-quality information. I love it! I recently got injured in the gym, and it was a wake-up call that I can't just brute force my training anymore like I could at 21. I need to get smarter about how I train, and am on a quest to alleviate the chronic pain I've been in for so long. This is one of the best channels I've found, and I think it will be the solution,.over time, to all that chronic pain from years of mumisuse and abuse on my body. Thank you!

Thank you! I took the "hard" way when I was younger, too. Chronic injury forced me to take a different approach.

@Grown and Healthy I've just hit that point myself. (The Army lifestyle sure as hell hasn't helped) It's time to get smart, or I'm going to be completely broken off by the time I'm 35.

ayy. this dude out here repping proper walking and mace training. much respect for what you're doing.

Excellent demonstrations. Great visual examples and commentary.

Love the vids, man - I can't believe you don't have more subs! Question: Have you thought about getting a Bluetooth lapel mic? They're dirt cheap and it would really help with the audio. You give AMAZING info, but it can be hard to hear in your outdoor vids sometimes. No criticism, just trying to help 😁👍🏼 Keep it up!

Grown and Healthy feels awesome. I’ve always been into power lifting and sort of shifted over to kettlebells but even that’s starting to feel a little hard on my body. I got my hands on a few clubs and maces and the movements feel way more fluid. So my question is, is it possible to slim down and continue to build strength/muscle exclusively with clubs and maces?

@@I___Love___U Great! You can definitely slim down withem (faster, if you add jump rope), but the level of hypertrophy and strength will be limited (not enough Stimuli).

Exercise one: I sure hope you comment on the way you arch your back during the exercise. There may be good reason for that. I noticed because the exercise teachers I have had caution us against that, bring your belly towards your spine, rxtend your tailbone, or if it works for you, pull your tailbone under to flatten your back. I have lack of arch now.but maybe because I sit too much.

AMAZING video as always brother, however the audio seems abit... low, have you thought of using a radio mic, they have bluetooth ones that sink up quite well and wont break the bank. as always love the videos. short and concise with a wealth of information. let me know how i can help your channel grow.

Good work. Keep the vids coming! Maybe we can collaborate!

Subscribed, great video. Going to get into mace training. What would be a good weight to begin with? Some lifting background discipline

10lbs is a good start. When it becomes easy for two hand swings, then transition to one handed, before raising the weight

Just found your channel. I was diagnosed with bilateral shoulder impingement, would this exercise be good to help?

Chopping wood and lacrosse are some other alternatives

Great info. Thanks. How about using the tools at home? A sledge hammer for example?

Sure, that is how I started... But beware of the head...it is easier to cope when you hit yourself with a smooth round ball, than a sharp edge.

Coach Vaughn has a good video on mace vs sledge hammer and why hammers are not the same. Use a mace for mace work.

I know you’re not a doctor but I’m curious of your input. Do you think it’s safe for shoulders that have had surgery on them years ago?

If you have been cleared for activity by your doctor, then you should be able to use this..try a stick first and then explore more weight.

What weight would you recommend starting with? And where did you buy the mace?

What normally available gym equipment could be used as a substitute for this? Thanks 🙏🙂

There is nothing comparable, but the dynamics are closer to a kettlebell.

Is a specific grip not required for 360 pendulums? You don’t change grips sometimes and I wondered if that would cause injuries since you said ‘change grip’ at one point.

I have used a sledgehammer, slamming a tire...but the angled edges make it tricky for a full rotation behind you. But it is doable.

Think an 8 lb sledge hammer would work?

If u don't want to use that much weight use a wooden bokken sword , loosens shoulders 🗡️

this is WAAAAAAAY too heavy. start with 7lbs and only go to 10lbs after a few months where you feel confident. no one has any business using 20lb maces for casual swinging. also swing with your core and your body, this is not an isolated workout as this video shows. his form is very typical of modern isolated weight training, which is the opposite of the mace. he is using this beautiful instrument incorrectly.

He is using it for shoulders. that is why he is not swinging it with his core and body. Also, he says not to start with 20 pounds.
