I'm on a really tight budget. Is there a substitute for a stèel mace? I was considering a baseball bat with weights or a cheap sledgehammer

[@CoachVikingVaughn]

@@jima6545 Not really. I don't recommend sledgehammers because they're completely different with the handle length, material, and head shape. Not only that, steel maces are more durable long term versus a cheap sledgehammer head falling off the handle. If you're on a budget, most make the OG version of mace -- a Gada. Which is made of a concrete head and wooden stick. You'll find a lot by looking that up or following Bill Sorenson on IG who makes really cool ones.

What would help more for weight loss flexibility and mobility. A mace or steel clubs. I am a religious weight lifter for past 30 years. I am needed to slim up a bit and fix lifting and age issues. Shoulders have been hurt a few times. Neck once or twice and a lot of work sitting. Wrists here and there from lifting heavy over years. One elbow a tad crunchy from heavy tri work but that is the least of the others. It sound like a mace from what I’ve listened to so far. And is 20 too heavy if I choke up. Also will this hurt a bit till I get used to it. Shoulder-rotator and wrists. I’m thinking 15 be better till I got used to movements. Just for cost worried outgrow in a month or two. Thanks again for advice. I’m getting to age need to change a few things. Less heavy. More static holds etc. im 53 6 foot 2 and about 240. Need to be 215-220 for reference. Not out of shape just old stiff and crunchy unfort. Thanks

[@1845Raven]

I just learned about the macebell the other day (very interesting looking equipment). Are there any exercises done while moving?? For example, performing an exercise while walking forwards or backwards? I'm guessing if the macebell used to be a weapon then there must be techniques/exercises while in motion?

[@CoachVikingVaughn]

Real good question. Yes, you can do a walking forward lunge with the mace packed in near the chest and then 360 as you stand. I demo this in my intermediate workout, but only going front to back. I'll be posting a "Onnit Steel Mace Advanced Workout: Part 2" video soon and I could add that walking variation in. Then weapon wise, the spear motion is great; I demo this as well in my Warrior workout with the Onnit Quad Mace.

Coach Vaughn, I have a question. If I am new, beginner, could I do this rountine 4-5x a week to teach my body the movements? I have been using kettlebells for awhile, but 360's feel really stiff right now. I am using a 10lbs mace and that feels about right for me.

[@CoachVikingVaughn]

Yes you can, that's a perfect weight to start out at and it's completely normal to be stiff at first. I sucked when I first started mace training because I was so used to hardstyling with kettlebells. The learning curve is relaxing your grip at the pendulum stage of the 360. If you death grip, your T-spine won't loosen up (foam rolling your mid back can help before training). Once you get good at owning the foundations, I do prefer a 15lb for males in the future.

[@t0mmyytran]

@@CoachVikingVaughn Hi Coach Vaughn, Do you still incorporate hard style kettle bell training? Sounds like hardstyle is good for power production but increases stiffness?

[@CoachVikingVaughn]

@@t0mmyytran Yes and yes. I'm very big into StrongFirst training principles. Stiffness is strength, but you're supposed to get "fast & loose" in between sets to keep circulation going by shaking your arms and legs..or doing a boxer like shuffle. Rest periods should also be adequate enough so you maintain the power production. With kettlebells it's less than 1:30 rest time.

[@aurelienyonrac]

1:20 work out Great speech before

[@JinxInHighDef]

I know what the end you said the sledgehammer is not the best replacement for the steel mace. My gym has a few steal maces but I workout at home from time to time when I can't make it to the gym. Would you say a sledgehammer is a decent replacement just for at-home workouts or would you suggest not using a sledgehammer at all?

[@CoachVikingVaughn]

It's better than nothing, but the main differences between the two is the handle length and material. The mace has a longer handle usually than a sledgehammer. So it won't feel as heavy. Then most sledgehammer handles are made of fiberglass or wood. So really depends if you have quality one, rather than a cheap one.

[@nikhilshetty007]

Hi Coach Vaughan. I want a recommendation I am looking to buy a mace is 7 lb mace good enough for a man. I am not particularly strong and have lower back issues.

[@CoachVikingVaughn]

Hi Nikhil, for men I generally recommend a 10lb mace. However, if you have low back issues I wouldn't recommend doing mace 360's. I recently made a updated steel mace beginner workout series that focuses on building more lat and core strength without performing 360's: Part 1:kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWLEiICvpt1nm5I Part 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmO6kHicgZljhqs If you need more info - I got a ebook on my website as well: www.coachvaughn.net/programs/gada-swing-by-coach-vaughn-guide-for-kettlebell-steel-mace-strength-training

[@danwalsh6898]

I have the 25 pound steel mace and it is a little on the heavy side for me. I am a strong guy but I know it is just going to take some time to practice some main movements. Mainly just the 360s is something I really have to choke up on. Any other recommendations on some main exercises or should I just follow the workout in the video?

[@CoachVikingVaughn]

Hey Dan, 25lbs is a tough weight to start out with. You can do more fluid movements with 15lb mace, but other than 360s with a 25lb is doing squats or lunges pressing out the mace at the bottom position. I demo moves like that in my other steel mace workouts on my channel you can check out.

[@Unboundly]

I got the same, for 360 I grab half way up. But every other exercise he did is fine with 25lbs...don't get me wrong it's heavy but takes practice

[@fdiaz05]

what would you recommend to get a more intense workout when using lighter weight. I'd prefer a 15-20lb mace. i came across a 10lb'er for practically nothing. it's a bit light for my taste. any suggestions on how to get most out of it?

I am way past you and getting my core back into shape or into shape I'm 50 and I have a sore lower back I've got bad knees so I can't do a lot of stupid with my knees yet in fact I probably need a new knee. And doing some of these exercises should I push it to the point of pain or should I modify them like your third step in this video and not bending the knees so much but still extending the arm down to that length?

You should be fine with a 7kg / 15lb steel mace if you have kettlebell experience.

Just discovered this steel mace workout. Looks interesting. How new or old is this “trend” (for lack of a better word)?

[@CoachVikingVaughn]

It was originally known as a GADA in India. So....a really long time because you see a lot of their religious figures in had with one ( usually as a symbol to always be ready for war ). But it mainly got Cultivated into fitness by Indian wrestlers in the early 1900’s when the British took away a lot of their weapons. They wanted to increase their grip and core strength making it out of strong bamboo and concrete. But steel maces have been evolved since the 2002 or so. It’s trending a lot like kettlebells. No one even knew what a Kettlebell was in the early 2000’s and they were cultivated by Russians as early in the 1600’s as farmer weighs.

Ya, if you want to swing it like mace out of curiosity…I get it (especially if maces are not available in your country). But ya, moving forward with it as strength tool is never going to anything. I have another video here showing the differences here: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/anfceHZumM2Lhrs

Do one set of each in circuit fashion and then rest between rounds?

[@CoachVikingVaughn]

Workout is in the description. No circuit. Just work on the skills with enough rest in between sets.

[@michaelallen2472]

Can you use a standard sledgehammer as well

[@CoachVikingVaughn]

There are not the same thing and I explain that here in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anfceHZumM2Lhrs

Onnit’s steel maces are 2inch.

Is it ok for over 60 years old ? 🙏🏻

Yes

Would a sledge hammer work for this?

[@CoachVikingVaughn]

I don't recommend it. I have a video here explaining the why's and differences: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anfceHZumM2Lhrs

[@cheryls4526]

as a new person to this form of exercise, I can not get how or where to place your hands and when to move them. I think it could be better if you break down the move in all the steps.

[@CoachVikingVaughn]

Keep in mind I made this video 2016 when there was zero info on mace training, but in those following years made I've separate tutorials all these exercises linked below here: 360s: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKKzhWqmedyFick Ballistic Curls: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3nFXmqLo5mZfbM Lap Squats: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnSkfaOZmL-efLs Presses: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zl6XZJihiZeFpJo Uppercuts: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4mVqoeMe651p5I
