The wonderful thing about Mark’s channel is that I’m learning strength movements I’ve never encountered before. And more opportunities to whack myself in the knees.
This one is a lot tougher than it seems. Tried it last night during my mace workout and it was tough to get right during my first pass. I think it will be a useful addition once I master it - but that will take several sessions.
I was just about to start the mace part of my workout when I checked in and saw this. Man what a great excercise! This will benefit my martial arts practice for sure.
Your vids on mace seriously make mace look like so much fun and are really tempting me to buy one. Seriously if you make a mace program to buy plenty of us would
Just tried this. First minute was crap!!! Then things improved, almost got it. Got tired after 3 minutes and really scared. I was barefoot!!! Pause!!! Two Steel toed boots later I am ready to rock baby. With proper protection!
Im really humbled by the mace. I recently got a 5 kg steel mace. I’ve started doing 360’s alternating side by the minute for 14 min. I do that little cause I get cramps in my hands. Gonna take some time till I get to 60 min.
Ohh it's natural to get sore fingers and cramps in your hand/palm as its lot of load on your grip. Go slow with this as you will develop grip strength over time 👍
Hey Mark, I couldn't do this one and hit myself too 🥴🥴🥴. And its painful on shin ☹️. It may be due to the diameter of my mace handel ( I fabricated it at home) or I am still not strong enough to push 5 kg steel mace. I think I should pass this till I get it correctly on wooden stick. Guys be watchful with this one as if you hit yourself then you will definitely feel its pain 😅
Not related to this particular video 😬 just wondering what’s your thoughts on training in vibrams as a pose to bare foot or soft shoes ? 🧐 and how do you feel about cheat days ?
@Lubricated Dorito I don't own a mace, but I made a 7kg gada which I use frequently. In the first trainings-sessions, I was always waiting for the pain in the calves. Luckily it never happened until now. Fingers crossed!!!

Thank you. This movement did not occur to me. It feels great.
Much harder than it looks, need to practice this daily!

You can get by for years on his mace playlist alone
Great content Mark! I hope we see more on standing abs work...
That last point about the best way to get core in the best position of standing vertical.....only deep martial artists will follow that one!
Dang this is hard. Especially with left hand on top. Will be choking the lever a bit till I get the hang of it!
Great movement going to my quiet place to practice
Thank Mr W
That should be a high volume(20 reps+- per minute) workout right?
Interesting variation, cant wait to try it out
This is an awesome movement, thanks Mark

Lubricated Dorito 60 min is what MW recommended.

Yazan I think it’s a 60 minute mace flow not 60 minutes of 360s.
I noticed this is part of the heavy club playlist. Is this worth doing with clubs, or does it not really matter since we already have swings?

Inverted 10-2?
What is the weight and brand of the mace you are using? I like the design.

vibrams are great. cheat days are great
What is the black wrapping on your Hydrocore in the background? Hmmm.

That must help a lot when you have a locked wrist.

Can anybody confirm, that it sucks to hit your knees? :D

Hit my knee with a 15 lb club. Not fun but not too terrible either. Hurt for three days or so
This is an awesome movement, thanks Mark
