Note to everyone - Mark is stronger than you, and has achieved the 10,000 rep axiom if mastery. I have 10lb, 20lb and 45lb clubs. They have been sitting in the corner since I bought them two years ago. Inspired by these videos and our forced incarceration, i have been transformed by these new training protocols. But, after a cursory try at the 10lb club, I decided to go directly to the 20. I can put 100kg overhead easy; the 20lb almost ripped my shoulder out when I went behind my head with it. Thankfully no real damage. The 10lb and I will now become intimate. The 45lb will be a massive doorstop or for swings only for the foreseeable future. Don’t be a macho meathead - use less and master the movement

My wrists were *screaming* for next couple of days, including tendons that run through wrists into hand. For reference I can deadlift > 405, snatch 106lb kettlebell, bench > 300. The clubs are brutal. Really fun though.

Purchased a 15 lbs and 25 lbs RMAX (CST) based upon watching Wildman on this channel. Soooo happy I did. Love them and cannot recommend enough. Note, when I ordered, these were two of the only ones available so I didn't have much choice on size. A 15 lb is never going to be useless imo as you can do one handed stuff, etc. (eventually move to double 15's if you want) 25 lbs club feels more like 40 lbs if you were to just pick it up and guess. Not sure if he mentions in this video, but the RMAX are a good bit longer than onnit. Onnit is obviously a great company, but I'm glad I went w/ the original RMAX. Also, imo these clubs challenge grip more than kettlebells.

Hey Mark - on the intermediate weight clubs you mentioned (which don't exist): Here in Australia where I live we use the metric system, obviously, and they sell clubs typically in 2kg increments. Of particular relevance to your point: 8kg club = 17.6 pounds (which is nearly halfway between 15lb and 20lb) and 10kg club = 22lb (kinda halfway from 20lb to 25lb). I suppose there's a local retailer here who would ship to the USA if someone really wanted those intermediate weights. Thanks for your daily uploads during COVID - really useful.

I first bought an 8kg club (which is 17.6 pounds by the way - so there is a midpoint between 15 and 20 pounds available) and bought a 6kg (13.2 pounds) this week for the Alternating 180 degree Pullover. That turned out to be a good move because I could not do the alternating pullover with correct form with the 8 kg. Today, I did the alternating pullover with the 6 kg for 10 minutes straight, 1 minute per side, and I could concentrate on the form rather than struggling with the weight. That said, it was still a substantial workout. A few more minutes and I would have been at failure on the left side. I also did inside and outside circles left and right with the 8 kg for 10 minutes. What I'm wondering now is how to track / program this sequence. What do people who know what they are doing use for this?

To be fair I've been swinging a weighted sledge hammer on my own. Just for a frame of reference I have arm wrestled guys who powerlifting over 600 and claimed to lift over 800 lbs and crushed them slowly. I thought I would be able to do more for this workout. I was wrong lol. I wonder how well Mark would do arm wrestling. Haha I think he would destroy most local pros in his weight class.

I've also made a 4 5 kg club that's "adjustable" meaning I can just weld on more re bar to add more weight. I really appreciate your professional approach to the training and your methodical work. That's why I'm confused by your recommendation of starting with 15 pounds. I'm fairly strong but if i mess up an inward shield cast with my off hand I feel the potential for messing up my shoulder. I can't imagine starting with 7kg and messing that up I think that would be a very bad day and end training for a while if not forever.

I've been training with maces for a couple years now, and am considering adding clubs to my gym. I've run through pretty much all of Mark's mace content over that time, step by step. I'm currently doing single-arm mace work with a 15lb mace (e.g. single-arm 360s, circles, coin flips, millls, etc) and two handed work with a 20 and 25 lb mace (25lb 360s are still a lot, I'm not doing those for minutes at a time, but I can do them for reps with good technique. Given that, would you suggest skipping directly to a 20lb club - my assumption is that the mace has a longer lever-arm so given that I can do 15lb mace work, a 15 lb club would be "easier". Or am I missing the point that I'm having to start over with club skills so should start at 15 anyway? I'm also considering the Adex adjustable club, which answers my question a different way anyway! Love your channel, Mark, it's transformed my own fitness, as well as teaching me enough to pass that onto my friends - I've now got 3 buddies who join me weekly in the garage gym to toss maces and kettlebells around.

I always saw some clubs on a couple gyms i went to and never understood the point, you changed my mind and i bought some as soon as possible. I think the ones that i bought are full iron so i have to be carefull around the house. Got a pair of 2.5k and 5k since as far as i understood was a good progression, and also got the 10k one for double arm at the end. So on my little knowledge of weighlift i came up with a little workout with the club excercises you have on your club list, i had like 0% strenght on my hands and at the beginning i ended up with my hands so sore, but almost 2 months in and im finally getting the hang of it. Im 90% sure i havent figured out the way you do programs, i think in some videos you talk about 1 move for 10min and that should be a workout, i dont know if that means 6 movements for 60min or really just 1 per day, i get a lot of questions on how do you cover everything or how you do kettlebell one day and club another so... it would be awesome if you could help us showing us at least a very basic workout day (or week) just to have an idea of the kind of regime you are suggesting, and also apply it, obviously.

@MarkWildman yep. After testing inside and outside circles with 4kg and 8kg hard style kettlebells I’m following your advice and am starting w a 6kg club bell. Will see how that goes. Thx Mark.

Do you think it's better to buy and adjustable Club rather than a 24kg KB? I already have a 16kg and I work on alternate days with it doing 20 minutes complexes and I've become very proficient with it, so I was looking for an heavier one. Talking about bringing up intensity in my week training, on the other days I work with a mace and I implement some GPP work (neck, calf, tibs, etc) but I was wondering if it's better to focus on going heavy on throwing patterns since for me KB movements are easier.

I think an adjustable club is a must. I think an adjustable kb is a must as well Wildman adjustable bell from bells of steel gets you 12 kg to 32 in 1/2 kg incriments. 41 weights. Therefore you can never hit the end of training

Hi Mark, in Europe clubs are not so easy to find, impossible at the moment with the pandemic, almost like kettle bells, how can clubs be replaced by dumbbells?
@ciarancosgrave4 жыл бұрын
I bought a 12 Kg (26lb) club bell on a whim with very little knowledge of what club bells are all about. I was regularly working out with 24kg and 32kg (52 & 70lb) kettlebells so I figured that 12kg was nothing. I was wrong. So wrong. 12Kg is heavier than you think in that format!

@@MarkWildman They make the same weights and heavy ones in India. Quite expensive though. Haven't seen anyone using clubs in my part of the country. Used to be common before. We have lost our way of exercising here. Huge fan of your channel and your no nonsense approach.

1. Anyone who says "start with this" and then spends the next 6 minutes talking about how to use them and finishes with "take my advice, start with this", means it and has probably seen what happens if you don't follow that advice. 2. Extra points for using the word 'behoove'.

Does the RMAX CST clubbell have knurling? I could not find a single clubbell here in the UK that has knurling on it. I have two steel clubs but my hands get so sweaty it’s dangerous to use them anymore in the flat. My mace has a knurling on it and it also has a different coating as well... no problem using that. I know I could use chalk but it’s not very practical in my situation.
@MarkWildman4 жыл бұрын
The Cst clubs have knurling now. The originals from way back a decade ago had a different pattern. But the one on the Onnit mace (and the FT9 English mace I have ) is based on the CST knurling. Clubs really need some type of knurling the be useful, I have a whole set of steel clubs that are almost unusable because they are perfectly smooth. If you know a guy with a machine shop you can throw them on a lathe and add texturing. But most people will NOT have access to that kind of heavy machinery

@michaelfavata27204 жыл бұрын
Hey Mark, any experience/opinion on the Adex club? It's pricey but it's adjustable so it takes the place of 10, 15, 20 and 25 lb clubs.
@MarkWildman4 жыл бұрын
Never touched one so I don’t have an opinion per se. I would prefer if you could change weight but maintain the length of the lever which the adex does bot do from what I’ve seen. Changing the weight and the length at the same time seems.... like it could make the weight jumps much bigger than 5 lbs

For flat feet train and be barefooted most of the time. When walking let the your weight be handled by the front of the foot like when sprinting and lighter on the heel. Do calf lifts to strengthen your arches.
