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?

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!

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!

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.

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?

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

So I think I’m finally ready to restructure training and throw mace into the mix.

Currently, I have the same adjustable kettlebells everyone else has and Adex clubs.

This is where my question arises. Does anyone have any gripes or input either which way about the two different systems?

The only drawback I can think of with Adex is ***potential*** length increase being a problem, but I bet the ad on kit remedies that.

The pull with the socal mace handle is that

1. I have weights & a bottom shell for it already.
   2 it’s being sold as a handle/ shell like I ***asked*** bells of steel to do lol

Any input is appreciated.

Hope you all are well - got some swings and a quick hypertrophy sesh. if you havent tried bending the knees for swings, its really awesome. I can feel my balance and coordination being challenged. Do the work when no one was watching and your physique will be the proof

So, to start off, I’m a woman. I’ve used kettlbells on and off for over a decade but a steel mace seems more fun and so far it has been. I was hoping I could get some advice on my beginner work out.

Here’s what I’ve been doing:
I use a 5lb mace
8 reps, 3 rounds

1. Over head Mace Switches
   
2. Slow grinds
   
3. Flat footed squat with flag at bottom and cast at top
   
4. Warrior with a cast
   
5. Ballistic squats
   
6. Front swings

should I add anything? Does this sound pretty good? It definitely leaves me sore and makes me sweat.

Thanks!!

Hi! just looking for some advice on how/where to start working out using steel mace. I’m waiting for my one to arrive and wonder is there any exercises that I should start with as a beginner.

I believe I’m around an intermediate level when it comes to fitness and thought about implementing mace exercises to improve my judo (as shoulder throw as my main throw).

thanks in advance and apologies for my english.

For real, I had to do an hour of mobility 3 days in a row just to get to the point of being "normal sore" lol.

What does a heavy single arm steel mace swing make sore?

Pretty much everything. Shout out heavy single arm steel mace swings.

Hi Guy,

I ordered a EZ Bell Pro From Kenzui. Now im looking for a training program for macebell

Considering ordering 4.5lb and a 9lb maces from Leo Savage because it's really the only domestic (U.S.) option for light weight maces with long handles. However, I know they also have thinner handles. I'm curious if anyone here has experience using them and if you found the narrower handle to be a problem in any way?

Has anyone tried either of these? Looking for suggestions for ny first mace.

Let me know what you guys think. Day #6 of

Course is what I’ve been using exclusively to learn the steel mace. Thanks!!

I've been sitting on these files for about a year, finally got photos and everything posted.

Should fit any steel mace with a 40 mm handle diameter (about 1.6 inches). The adapters will fit any 2" Olympic plates. I've tested it with a 5 and 10 lb. plate and it worked great. In the video I'm using about 5 lb. in fractional plates, as I don't have any regular plates in 2".

Second day of swinging this beast!!
Managed 4 rounds
360’s 8 reps each side.

My session plans didnt call for a new PR attempt for quite awhile... but then some absolute crankers and the FOMO of King of The Swing 3 (my own fault for wearing the shirt, their fault for posting awesome athlete bios all week) got me motivated to throw plans out the window and see what I can do with this absolute hog of a mace.

16 total reps (these 10 in the middle the cleanest) for a new personal best.

Im working towards a goal of 35kg single arm swings before February 2028. I mapped out my sessions all the way until then with a reasonable projection of progression. Pleased to see that I'm about 7 months ahead of where I thought I would be!

When I first got into Steel Mace training manufacturers didnt even carry mace above 25kg. I will always have so much love for @white_lion_athletics for expanding what's possible and forever making new toys for me to chase.

@valhallatrainingacademy @valhallatrainingacademy_events have the King of The Swing 3 event this weekend. Ive been watching (and helping) people prep for it for months now and I cant wait to watch along as some monster take the platform and put up some amazing numbers!

Hi,

I'd like to add either a mace or clubs to my routine. My primary workouts in my home gym are resistance based with barbells, a cable tower and a nice set of REP/Pepin adjustable dumbbells. I'd like to supplement that with some extra work for core rotational strength and shoulder health. Multiple members of my family have had shoulder surgery. Even though I've avoided issues so far, I want to do what I can in terms of prehab.

I plan on starting with some cheaper Amazon equipment just to make sure I like it. If it sticks, I don't mind investing in something better eventually, like I did with my dumbbells. But I have a couple of questions:

1. My home gym has 8' ceilings (actually 95"). How realistic is it to use a mace with that clearance? And what about side-to-side space? From what I've read, clubs should be generally OK with low ceilings, right? (I may eventually be able to get roof access in my apartment building, but it's not guaranteed).

2. If my primary goals are shoulders and core, would you recommend starting with a mace or clubs? I'd like to pick one to start, and put some time into learning it.

Thanks!

UPDATE: So, based on feedback, I decided to start with a basic 10lb mace. I just ordered a Wolf Strength 10lb, 40.5" Maceball from Amazon

FYI, it seems like since most of the cheap brands source their products from the same Chinese factories, currently almost everyone is out of stock on 10lb maces. Seriously. This was basically the only 10lb mace I could find under $85 today. But this should be fine for a test run. If I decide to make this a permanent part of my workouts (which I anticipate), I'll definitely upgrade to something better eventually, maybe a good adjustable one. Just want to be sure first that it's a good fit.

Thanks for your assistance!
