THE ORIGINAL. THE BEST. THE MACEBELL.

I gave Macebell Sport a try

Well, after reading Big Kevin's post on Macebell Sport I thought it sounded like fun so last night I put some Tiger Balm on my elbows and warmed up and set my timer for five minutes
then with my 10k Macebell I did 190 reps in the 360 degree movement.Not bad for a start I'm sure I can get pass 200 reps and I am just as sure that some of the younger Maulers out there can do even better!
Macebell Sport is fun and this movement is going to grow bigtime!

Is that 190 total, or 190 in each direction?!; ▶ Reply to This

Usually for my training I go 60 seconds on ,then rest for 20 seconds and repeat that for 10,20 or sometimes,30 sets. I like the idea of Macebell Sport because it gives us all something to train for; a mark to aim at.; ▶ Reply to This

How much do you think a hand switch would affect your numbers? Do you think you'd still end up with 190 (about 95 in each direction)? I curious how the rules regarding symmetry of reps laid out by Kevin might affect our numbers...; ▶ Reply to This

I spoke with Kevin on the phone last night and we will probably meet up this Sunday and discuss how to standardize macebell sport so that it can be something that can be competed with a video contest and everyone could submit their best effort.This is all new Linus but guys like you,Kevin,Jake,myself&all the other maulers have the chance to build this thing beyond the kettlebell and the clubbell movement.(Both of which I respect and both of which I make use of in my training.)
I just think the Macebell is the very coolest training tool out there!; ▶ Reply to This

I have seen big gains by going both direction for reps and time. I train with almost every tool out there and this one has definately been one that has added great function & gains to my workouts; ▶ Reply to This
