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.
Today’s Workout is going to blow some minds! It’s that time again to switch up from the strength phase with all of the good eating and extra calories and get into that lean out phase focused on endurance. Say good bye to those heavy grinds and get yourself mentally prepared to go the distance. The Vintage Strength Games at The Olympia is 15 weeks away. This leaves a solid 2 months of endurance and leaning out. Get the rest of that winter flab off and get a fresh start going into the final training phase before the competition. This lean out phase will be tough but worth it. Use a weight that is challenging and do the exercises in groups of 10 or 20 changing arms when fatigued. Be sure to use a white board or poker chips to keep track of sets. Let’s go! Please share with someone who might be interested.

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 https://adexclub.com
