I haven't seen these since the Late 60's, early 70's. What's that saying, "Everything Old is New Again. ~ Nice Video.

[@MrSurfangler]

These aren't even real Indian clubs, search for Kushti , or Indian wrestling exercises you will see the real deal "Gada" ,mudgal etc

[@MasonMallak]

Saw a ripped dude in a park with these and have been searching endlessly to find out what they were. Great instructional video!

[@Criticalbench]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Core.soul.frequency_]

Massively appreciate this man. I'm a Rolfer and my shoulders and neck have been a mess lately. Colleague recommended Indian clubs and your exercises have helped me put tremendously.

[@Biggo1226]

A Rolfer? Is that when you golf on the roof? 🤔😆

[@hungusthefungus3461]

You should also buy a Pull Up bar and do Dead Hangs.

As a rower who has struggled with his forearms, elbows and shoulder issues in the past; this looks like just the thing I need to add into my training.

[@Criticalbench]

Awesome! Let us know how it goes :-)

[@WindroseTraining]

Great video. Thanks

[@ADEXClub]

Concise instructions and well done. More people need to get into club and mace training to enhance their mobility and strength throughout ROM. They are also great for recovery after heavy lifting sessions. They only tools I train with now.

[@boyantrifonov]

Hey Adex! We need your adjustable clubs and maces in the European Union! Shipping costs + duties and taxes make it brutal financially if I have to order from the US.

[@LouBanga47]

As soon as you said you performed the Muay Thai block, I was sold, I need some impenetrable defense when I spar. Thank you for the great work.

Great instruction, thank you. I got a couple clubs from Origin and this is now my wake-up routine. I also throw on a weighted vest to get just a little bit more out of it.

[@Criticalbench]

Good stuff!

Love the page. Recently started enjoying unconventional lifting (mace/club) great vidoe. Next is kettlebells, and rope and Bulgarian bar. These tools are so much more functional and fun that boring weights in the gym.

[@anitagulfin3705]

Great learning video. I’m having problems with pain in my upper legs which radiates to my middle and lower right leg in particular. I’m also very tight around the shoulders and neck at times. My daughter (a pro MMA fighter) has recommended I try using Indian clubs for therapy in addition to functional patterns. I have only tried functional patterns once, but I just bought some one pound clubs to get started. Not as easy as I thought, but your video is already helping me understand and correct my form. I feel the stretch in my upper legs in addition to feeling the stretch in my shoulders, arms and wrists. I am hopeful that I will experience less pain overall and get better movement in general. The explanation is concise and easy to follow. Thank you Coach Zak 🙏🏻🦵🏻💪.

[@Criticalbench]

Thanks for the positive feedback! It would be a good idea to meet with a physical therapist to evaluate your pain. Continue the stretches/exercises too. Wishing you the best!

Dante Scaffidi Yes, 1 and 2 lbs are great and will most likely be the only pairs you ever need for most movements.

What weight clubbell is good to start for a man of 200lb that just wants to increase mobility with good range of motion and tone up?

[@Criticalbench]

Start with 3-5lbs and work your way up. You'll be surprised at how heavy 3lbs feels after a few minutes.

[@martjansen]

Hi Zach! First I want to say thank you so much for this video. I have been doing your excercises for over two years now and they have been a huge game changer for my physique and fitness, thank you..! 🙏 But, I was wandering if there are more excercises that you would recommend with the clubbells? And .. maybe, make another video about that! 😁😅 Cheers!

[@mbuck34]

Any suggested rep amounts to start with?

[@Criticalbench]

10

[@larrywallace2881]

I'm 52 years old I started training at the age of ten ,let me tell you old and young people get you a pair of clubs and start training every day with them ,they work kinda like Tai chi with mobility. Mater of fact I use them for a warm up for Tai chi . Get the lightest clubs you can find, the healing is in the movement not the weight.

[@elainejustinatrainer]

quero iniciar este trabalho. qual a sugestao de peso do clubbell??

[@Criticalbench]

Elija un peso que desafíe, pero que también le permita realizar los ejercicios correctamente para evitar cualquier tensión o lesión.

[@mariliacalixto3093]

O melhor é um par de 500 ou 800 gr cada.

[@jalshah9108]

What weight is the Indian Club in the video? I have never used an Indian Club, what weight should I begin with? Where can I buy Indian Clubs?

[@pjay450]

If you want to use for increasing joint mobility, mostly weights don't matter. The motions are vertical so you're not fighting gravity , they're generally 2-4kg. If you're working for shoulder/ rotator strength(mudgal) start with 8kg and if you don't usually workout, Continue with have clubs until you gain strength.

[@samcanipe9450]

Actual indian clubs are stupid expensive, So go to your local cheap tool store (Harbour Freight) and buy deal blow hammers. Same principal weight on the end of a stick. They come in different weights and are check as heck!
