Adjustable Mace Trainer | Exercise Steel Clubs | Healthy Shoulders
This video is about Big n Little Workout. Adjust your ADEX Club accordingly during rest periods. Keep the shoulders packed as a general safety rule! Front Swings are a hip hinge movement – Be sure to make it hip dominant (deadlift) not knee (squat) dominant. Wrist Rolls are a must do for everyone – don’t neglect the little movements they add up! Gama Cast Halos are a real strength builder be sure to stay in the square pattern and move robotically.
Please note, this exercise can be done with 1 or 2 clubs. The long cycle with double clubs is a fantastic exercise to build endurance or burn calories. Be sure to have a firm stance, knees slightly less than shoulder width to provide adequate clearance for the swinging club(s). Keep weight in the heels and rely on the hip snap (think jamming your belt buckle forward) to propel the clubs upward and past the ears under control. Precursor exercises to the long cycle are 1 or 2 hand front swings and 1 hand front strikes.
The ADEX Mace is the next evolution in mace training implements as it sports an easily adjustable, yet stable, housing body that allows it go from weights appropriate for an absolute beginner to the advanced athlete. As weight is added, the length increases as well which helps improve the feel of swings as your progress.

Here is a simple workout that can be done with a Club or Club and Mace. ‘Anyhow’ means that there are no set/rep scheme – just get the total number done and either 1 or 2 handed, on the side or center Front Swings. I like to mix it up as the real benefactor is the posterior chain. Find out more at http://www.adexclub.com

This video is about restoration clubwork and how to use clubs as a recovery tool after heavy upper body training. Follow along with this simple example that owner Don Giafardino performs the day after heavy competition mace training. This routine can also be used to recover from chest/shoulder/arm training, and also aids in the promotion of bilateral coordination.
