Steel Mace HEAVY 360 Ladder Workouts
Most when getting into steel mace training, are addicted to 360s . . . me included. I’ve been swinging this tool since 2014, and still love getting in a workout with my heavier maces 2-3 times a week. It’s hands down one of my favorite unconventional tools to get stronger with — so much so I can swing a 25kg / 55LB steel mace with ease for reps now. Inevitably, the question came up often among my subscribers, “how do you build strength toward swinging a heavier steel mace?”
My methods toward building strength with heavier steel maces is simple . . . however many confuse that word with easy. A big part of the system is keeping the reps minimal with optimal rest times (usually 1-2 minutes after both directions or sides). I’m not a fan of going as heavy as possible, with as many reps as possible, with zero rest times — it’s complete recipe for injury with any tool.
Secondly, you need at least 3-4 different steel mace weights (if you have more that’s even better). This is so you treat each mace as a rung to make a ladder going up and back down in weight. As you will see in the Steel Mace HEAVY 360 Ladder Workouts below, we will not only being doing two handed (2H) 360s (Part 1), but single arm (1H) variations to get your grip strength even stronger (Part 2).
