@@WarHasNoRulesThat was a work. I’m sure Jim Helwig could have done better, but he was supposed to go out there and fail. Not saying Shiek wasn’t a beast, but with practice it will become easier. Like the guy at the beginning of this video wasn’t some huge guy, but he made it look easy.
I use them for legs and upper body. I'm 60 years old and I can swing them very well. It takes time and practice, but it creates an amazing strength. At 60 years old I compete with younger men in BJJ. No problems.
Hello I’m starting bjj at 29. I’m still relatively young but I keep hearing of long term practices of bjj having permanent injuries when they’re older. What’s your experience?
@@philiphill56 you can mimic kettlebell swings with medium weights and mimic traditional lifting motions with super-heavy clubs. it's definitely not the same as doing a traditionally heavy barbell squat, but it's more so for general conditioning and endurance (which is important for any grappling sport)
I grew up using them - despite being British - my grandfather had them in various sizes and taught me how to use them. My wrists are almost square they are as thick front to back as side to side.

I used to take DIY made 17-18 pound clubs into the gym and warm-up with them..........i was the only person ( then 50 yrs old) who could handle them!!! Bodybuilding and beach muscle strength isn't even close to anything functional in life!!!!
I remember the Iron Sheik challenges from the 80s. Knowing me, I'd try to do this and accidentally hit myself on the head and knock myself out on the first swing.
It doesn't seem to be a test of strength, more of technique... I remember the iron sheik had this challenge. Some kid came out of the audience in Tennessee and did it perfectly. The iron sheik was not too happy, L o l.
@persianyoga for sure, 100 percent .You must have both or a lot of one or the other.That kid in Tennessee must have been really, really strong unless he had worked with them before, but I doubt. Then again, you never know, or it could be that farmer strength 💪
@descendancedenoefilsdadam1028 these men can probably Bench Press or deadlift more than the trainer, technique is just as important as strength. You body needs to get used to a new movement.

Thank you 🙏🏽
If Iron Sheik saw this, he will probably rant like he saw Hulk Hogan face to face and make them humble. 😂
I know and have spoken to the great Pahlavan Vaziri AKA Iron Sheik, he has given me his blessing
It must practice with light weight first to learn the technique and swings and control the balance ' took me few years to get good at it
Exactly
@Persian Yoga I can currently do 7kg iron clubbells. Are these much much harder than those even at the same weight?
It's a very different dynamics and in my experience more challenging due to the size, not just the weight, difference. I hope this helps

Iron sheik rip

This is irresponsible. These people have never done such an exercise and to make them do it with such heavy weight is just inviting shoulder injury.
people that have never done this will never be able to do it. All these people had tutoring and it is a safe exercise because you have to fully engage however it isn't risk free like life itself.
Start with a weight that you do for arms, even trying that weigh might injure your wrist for the rest of your life. smh
Shoulder grinder, no reason to do this
It's a warrior training.
For those who wants to use mace.
But I highly doubt that if something needs to use a mace nowdays.
It's rotational resistance exercise for the ROTATOR cuff, it makes sense.
If it works for warriors in battle it will work for everything else.
