Hey Dangerously Fit, big thanks for the work you do for us. I just rediscovered numb parts of my body, especially from side to side, because of this video. Feels like I can move with more aliveness and joy. I watched more than one part more than one time, because rewatching your stuff is so valuable. Your movements and explanations are useful and to the point and everyone can tell that you REALLY want to support the viewer to watch, listen, move and learn. There is so much effort put into the movement practice and structuring of the video. Cheers!
Hey, Thanks for taking the time to reach out, it's great to hear that the video has helped you with your health and fitness. I love heavy club training and enjoy sharing what I've learned, it's good to know the channel is helping people with their training. Thanks!
I just discovered your channel, and this was the first video I watched. It's excellent. It provides the best explanation and demonstration of this I have seen. New subscriber now!
You are such an amazing instructor! Thanks for breaking the movements down and showing how each part functions. Your demos are great and after watching you a couple of times I’m confident to try it on my own. Well done and thanks!
Great video, just curious, what should I be doing with my feet while doing the mill? I'm watching another channel and he has people keeps their feet pointed straight forward, shoulder width apart the whole time. Just curious what you do and how much you think it matters for training.
Yes, I prefer to keep my feet shoulder width apart with toes pointing forward. When you swing heavy weights I find it much better for rooting the feet into the floor and staying grounded.
Hola Amigo! Considering getting your course! Really good stuff! Where is the circle exactly? If I had to draw one, would I follow the elbows? Thank you
I saw you perform club mills 1 handed with 35 & 44lbs and in awe. I started using clubs (and maces) 3 years ago at 57 and was humbled. Now 60 use 15/20lbs clubs 1 hand & 25/35lbs 2 hands. Really opened up my shoulders & more rotational power & grip strength of course. Most gym folks are missing out on "true" strength...
Nice work! True, my shoulders have never been so strong. I can overhead press heavier now (at 45) than when I was in my twenties doing bodybuilding exercises.
Taking first steps into club bells after years of kettlebells and being inspired by Mark Wildman. After just one workout I can already see why they’re so effective. Struggling to find a simple beginners routine for two-handed work. Thanks for this useful video.
Just out of a recent experience...try doing the same on a horse stance...while the club goes down stand in a normal horse stand...when the club goes up...bring ur stance down....try it ...its great.
2 days ago i bought a macebell 6kg. Ive worked out with it 5 times since then. I woke up this morning and every muscle in my body is rock hard. Now i see this video and i can tell that i now need to buy clubs. This is an incredible exercise, and this man is a great instructor.... he would also excell at brazilian jiujitsu.
Thanks for the explanation of elbow position and club angle for the single arm. Why do you use a technique that employs less of upper body rotation (side to side at the waist); I have been looking at Mark Wildman's instructions (for about a year and half) and have seen benefit to range of motion and employment of more of the body by following that technique. Especially the back. Just wondering.
Hi Muhaimeinul, your'e welcome - thanks for watching. Do you mean the thoracic rotation when casting and receiving the club... or charging my weight in the opposite direction to counter the weight when it's moving laterally?
@Dangerously Fit changing you weight opposite direction. The thoracic movement I can see in your explanation and it was helpful for me. I will try that tomorrow with lighter clubs, I do benefit from rotation around the spine, that has resolved a lot of my weakness in my back. I am an avid cyclist, and sometimes all cycling can leave the upper and mid back quite weak.
@@muhaimein Ah.. cool - ye it depends on the weight. The heavier the weight, the more you need to charge your weight in the opposite direction to own the centre. I think I'm only using a 12kg (26.5lb) club in this demonstration, whereas I normally train with a 20kg (45lb) club. I only shift my weight as much as I need to in order to own the centre (if that makes sense).

This is the only video i've seen explain the elbow movement. Critical piece of information many leave out. Amazing information.
Ye - the elbow circles are so important. Thanks for watching!

Great video thanks. I'm running mills on 6kg and now 8kg. Couldn't imagine doing 20kg. That's incredible
Thanks... glad you liked the video.

Thank you for the kind words, it's much appreciated! Glad this video was helpful 👊
Good video. do you bend your knees, i think not but can't see
Thank you! Soft knees, not bent... stand in an athletic stance.
Grande pelado
What’s the best beginner weight; somewhat athletic 41 yo man lol
You should be ok with a 10lb for single arm exercises and 15lb for two handed exercises.

Thanks mate... draw a circle with the elbow in front of the shoulder
Respect! You live up to your channel Title Dangerously Fit
Haha... Thanks, I try to.

@@dangerouslyfit all so true... they are indeed restorative tools especially for middle aged folks who stand to benefit the most from lost mobility
I bought my first sets of club bells 5's,10's,15's and 20's way back in 09 or 2010

You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed the video. I’ll be uploading some two handed workouts onto the channel soon. Stay tuned!👊
Just out of a recent experience...try doing the same on a horse stance...while the club goes down stand in a normal horse stand...when the club goes up...bring ur stance down....try it ...its great.
Will do, thank you for sharing.
Wow. That solved everything for me.
Glad it helped!
Aha - the water bottle demo actually makes it all click. Thanks!
Awesome... glad it helped!
Thanks so much for this - just what I needed!
You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Just ordered a club for shoulder mobility exercises. Thanks a lot for the primers! Should help me and my volleyball a lot!
Great to hear you're getting into the clubs, will be excellent training for your volleyball.
Very simple explanation. Thank you.
You are welcome!
brilliant video!!!!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!

Nice work! If you like the mace, you'll love clubs. Thank you for the kind words. 🙏
Thank you!!! Could not figure out the reverse mill until watching this tutorial.
Your'e welcome, great to hear the tutorial helped!
As a beginner at this, I appreciate the tutoring.
Now I got this!
Great to hear!

@Dangerously Fit got it. Thanks. Yes I am still not super comfortable with my Mill anything north of 15 lbs.
I find it interesting how working with steel like this produces a different physique
