Macebell or Clubbell First?
In this new video below, I’ll be answering a very common question in my YouTube comment section:
“Which one should I get first? A Macebell or Clubbell first?”
In summary from the video above - while “get both” is an easy answer — I would never recommend a complete novice to learn how to use both a macebell and clubbell at the same. It really depends on what your goal is (especially if past injuries are currently affecting your current goals). While macebells and clubbells are asymmetrically loaded tools, and have great swing variations — they’re differences matter just as much.
To help you make decision, here are bullet points on the highlights for each
MACEBELL / STEEL MACE:
Great tool for a solid warm up tool before kettlebells or barbells
Helps balance unilateral strength between shoulders with 360 pattern swings
Would NOT recommend if you have serious shoulder and elbow issues
Only a 10lb macebell is needed for beginner women
Only a 15lb macebell is needed for beginner men
CLUBBELL / STEEL CLUB:
Builds dynamic grip strength with it’s elongated shape
Great for building rotational power for baseball, golf, or MMA
Much better option for those with serious shoulder and elbow issues with it being half the length of mace.
Can be worked with singles and doubles (giving more variations than maces)
Only a 10lb Single and 5lb doubles is recommend for women
Only a 15lb Single and 10lb doubles is recommended for men
