How do you integrate macebells into your workout? For example, I lift 3 times a week. I have an A Workout and a B. So, one week I do ABA then the next week BAB. Pretty simple. I do kettlebells as…

What size Mace Bell to start?
6 Replies

Greetings all. I'm new to mace bells - have never tried one although I do a sort of 360 with my home-made Club Bells. I've worked with these home-made clubs for a year and with kettlebells for three…

I'm pretty new to the whole macebell thing but I've managed to work my lats pretty well with mine. I like to lean over to one side, reach over my body and grab the macebell with one hand. Then, I'll use my obliques to pull myself upright and use my…

My beginner's perspective -- I took the advice and got the 10 KB Macebell. I will admit that this was a very difficult weight for me to start with (but not impossible). I was able to make noticeable progress on each session. After two and a half wee…

Good effort on trying to use the Gada to hit the lats..personally I would have given up and just did some pullups.

RYAN . . . slightly over 15 lbs (homemade). Thanks for clarifying. GIRISH . . . I found your video on youtube and will have to study them and practice with a broomstick and mirror before trying them with any weight. Thank you I did a little exper…

That mace is 13.5 kgs.Try 'Round the clock swings' that are on my video list.I guarantee lactic acid in your lats.

Ryan replied to John Wint's discussion 'BUILDING LATS WITH MACEBELL'

How heavy is the macebell that you are swinging? The Lats are strong muscles and if you are swinging a 10kg macebell it will be hard to work the lats hard with any Macebell move...no matter the reps.

I had the same question, too. I am now about to start, too. So 10KG it is going to be. My KB training looks like it is going to be put to the test for sure!

Hi Neal, I'm 55 and new here also. I did a double-take when I read your post. It sounded very similar to my own situation . . . even down to clubbells and kettlebells . . . I've got a couple of home-made 15 lb clubs and three KBs. I would be extrem…

The Mjollnir is one of the exercises that Jake teaches on his video. You're right - t's a two-handed sledgehammer strike, and each strike is a rep. Tractor tires are easy to come by in my neighborhood (Laramie, WY) but large construction tires will…

What exactly is a "Mjollnir rep?" (I assume it means you're pounding on a tire with the macebell - using it as a hammer. So every time the macebell hits rubber, that's one rep.) I found this on wikipedia: In Norse mythology, Mjǫllnir is the hammer…

I use macebell on the days that I do kettlebells as well. I mainly do 10 to 2s and 360s in long sets because I am training for macebell sport, but a macebell Mjollnir VO2 is a great cardio workout.

Linus and Rick . . . thanks for the info . . . sounds like a 10 Kg it is! By the way, I saw that Steve Maxwell made his own and it came out to around 12 lbs (5 Kg ?) . . . I thought I'd do that too while waiting for the real one to arrive . . . and…
