Movelab: Heavy Club MIlls

[@zakxtoten]

This may be the best mill video on youtube

[@Bodytribechip]

Aw, thanks. Much appreciated.

[@notundermywatch3163]

The only person on KZbin to have simply and effectively demonstrated the shoulder rotation and " troll squashing" movement.

[@Trezker]

I've gone through some of Mark Wildmans videos about the mill, but he just says "by the same side ear". This wing fling thing really changes how to do that part. Changed it from being a jerky mess to getting smooth and it really works the muscles with no shock to the joints.

[@Bodytribechip]

The was exactly my experience and why I created this progression. Felt like a yank on my elbows until until I began breaking it down into sustainable bits and peices.

[@kylebeckham3825]

Best milling tutorial going.

[@Bodytribechip]

Awesome. Thanks. Long live the Chicken Wing Fling!

[@oastorga]

I revisited this video today (7/31/2022) and since the first time I saw I now have the Adex club and arc. Slowly but Shirley I'm moving on up!

[@daljeetghag3321]

Best break down I've seen online ... Thank you.

[@Bodytribechip]

Wonderful praise. I appreciate it. Thanks for watching.

[@4000Wiggins]

Great instruction. Watching in 2024 and I only just discovered clubs!!

[@Bodytribechip]

Still teaching them the same way. Had a workshop this last weekend, in fact.

[@mplsdan]

Thank you! I was having all kinds of trouble with the upper portion of this exercise. Your wing fling made things click for me.

[@Bodytribechip]

Oh good! Yeah, that was my realization, after doing clubs for years, of how this movement could be relevant without yanking on the elbow join so much.

[@joachimgutsche]

This wing-fling-thing is awesome! I have discovered this part of the movement during my beginnings (without having a name for it). But it is VERY reassuring watching the pro training that way ;)

[@Bodytribechip]

Wipe your nose with the wing! The wing fling has been an effective cue all these years.

[@bryanchrist8876]

I subscribed because of the sound effects. (Its nice to know I'm not the only person to do this with everything I do.). But kept coming back cuz of the great videos.

[@Bodytribechip]

The sound effects get more pronounced as I get older, like I'm trying to become a cartoon.

[@peterjwilson]

Appreciate the Home Depot special versions of clubs and maces. That is all I can get here in Africa and even finding galvanized pipe is a challenge. Excellent video, I have been doing mills all wrong but now have a plan.

[@Bodytribechip]

Hey Pete! I've seen clubs made out of all sorts of things, including cement inside bottle with sticks in them. Explore and enjoy. My mill instruction has been from years of practice, learning it from club experts, yet not really liking how it felt, so I tweaked their tradition a little to involve my body more and stress on my elbow less. I've fund it work very well for most bodies. Hope you find the same results.

[@drpiprim7794]

Very Clear explanation… make me easy to follow the heavy club mill… Thanks coach

[@Onlydaved]

I got my clubs y'day and was struggling so hard. Glad I found this vid

[@Bodytribechip]

Enjoy the new strength toy. Many more vids in this series.

[@jacko717]

I like this dude, clearly knows his business, and not overly Alpha.

[@Bodytribechip]

Yeah, I'll leave the alpha jive to the insecure. Meanwhile, the rest of us can move and groove together a a tribe.

[@jacko717]

@@Bodytribechip yeh, a lot of the mace/club guys I've watched can't seem to afford a shirt.😆

[@Bodytribechip]

@@jacko717 Those club collections can get expensive, often making clothing optional.

[@jacko717]

@@Bodytribechip fortunately they can afford pants 😆 Kudos brother✊🏻

[@sambsialia]

Wish I get you and Alex Enkiri to vid 2getha. One third humor, a third technique, and a third benefits for my body. Nice recipe. You must be a brother to my coworker buddy. His humor is legendary.

[@kennyfinger8306]

Very good instruction style, thanks!

[@Bodytribechip]

Much appreciated. The good news is that there are many more videos.

[@erinzway]

Awesome video great information

[@Bodytribechip]

Hey. Big thanks.

[@formisfunction1861]

I used your 35 today Chip, it was glorious!

[@prnicho]

Very good - thanks. I am barely getting started with clubs so I am going to have constant reference to this video. And will remember the sound effects ;-)

[@Bodytribechip]

Sound effects always!

[@mikelabree]

This is the best demonstration on you tube. Do you have an example of two hands?

[@PnPModular]

Really enjoyed this video thanks for making

[@Bodytribechip]

Thanks for watching. Plenty more where that came from

[@niektolen]

great one

[@oastorga]

I was surprised when I saw you had my Home Depot club in your hands, except I realized mine was still in my home gym when I went back to find it. 😁 The difference is that I filled it with buckshot and a little sand and I think a few roofing nails went in there. Total weight is 17.8 lbs. I have two one 10lbs and the bigger one with red handle bar tape and painted. Looks cool while in the air. Thanks for this great tut, now I do have my eyes on the Adex adjustable. Still learning, my left arm while stronger has the weirder patterns. So much more practice.to improve my form. Let’s seeI’m ordering two or is it ten? It will be one of those moments when it arrives and you say “Look what I got for you honey!”

[@Bodytribechip]

The Home Depot out here never seems to have all the right parts, but an Ace Hardware in West Sacramento has a beautiful aisle dedicated to pipe. It's like a well organizes buffet, making it so easy to build the homemade club of your dreams. Club practice has balanced out my arms nicely. After years of swinging these, I find no discrepancies in strength or ability between the two sides anymore.

[@gustavf.6067]

Great instruction. Thank you.

[@Bodytribechip]

Most welcome thanks for watching, and check out the other club videos in this series.

[@amarthurfurniture860]

Solid tutorial!

[@Meonyoutube-yc2ii]

Do you know if this is good for someone with rotator cuff issues/weakness/shoulders too far forward, bad posture type thing?

[@TheStrengthClassroom]

The sound effects were hilarious lol. Especially when they were sounding so non chalant.

[@Bodytribechip]

Those sounds make their way into many of my videos. It's a natural instinct, probably from being raised on cartoons.

[@ermagerdmuffins]

Can an Indian jori or meel be used as a substitute in heavy Indian club exercises? Wasn’t sure if one tool was better-suited for particular movements or if it’s just a matter of preference. Thanks for the great videos.

[@Bodytribechip]

They are all similar versions of the same thing, although, if they're made of wood, they're going to be thicker, making the movement slightly different.

[@ermagerdmuffins]

@@Bodytribechip Thanks, yeah, I thought they all seemed very similar yet might cause differences in technique, even if slightly. I am new to all of this and don’t own any equipment yet. I will get some clubs, but I’m also drawn to the look of the jori and want one of those, too. Thanks for the direction.

[@Bodytribechip]

@@ermagerdmuffins Jori is basically a one handed tool, and that creates a few more limitations. I've had a few in my time, and dig the look and feel of them, but the grooviness of their pedigree didn't override my need for a more overall useful tool.

[@thkun33]

Amazing

[@CaptnHowdy.]

35lbs. Respect!

[@Bodytribechip]

Big thanks.

[@andreaabaclat5130]

Finalmente un bel tutorial sulle clubs!!! Dove posso acquistare quella club regolabile?

[@Bodytribechip]

Aquí está su sitio web.. adexclub.com/

[@oceanemerson]

I have 10 lb onnit club and a 15 lb onnit club--the 10 lb is pretty light. The 15 lb is more challenging. I've been learning mills and with the 15lb club-- in the portion of the wing fling when the club would be pointing straight down your back and your going to fling it over---the club often times bangs on my upper back slightly. I figure i'm not quite strong enough to mill the 15 lb club with perfect form... is it something that goes away with time as I get stronger? any drawbacks to this cheat for a lack of a better term?

[@Bodytribechip]

It may be shoulder flexibility, I'd suggest putting it down the back slowly, then cranking out over and over again, like a half cast, keeping the elbow back, like you're up. against a wall.

[@oceanemerson]

@@Bodytribechip We'll give it a go---thanks for the great content!

[@Bodytribechip]

@@oceanemerson Most welcome. Always open for some dialog about movement and strength.

[@oceanemerson]

@@Bodytribechip This seemed to work. I just needed to improve the mobility of my shoulders--desk jockey. Also i believe I've strengthened the muscles in this range. All Good! Maybe we'll see a purchase of a 20 lb club in the near future :)

[@Bodytribechip]

@@oceanemerson Superb! Glad to hear the journey is successful so far.

[@lew708]

How’s that Adex adjustable club? Does the weight feel solid and secure when attached?

[@Bodytribechip]

Very.

[@thelastgeneration1926]

Can u show this with two hands

[@Bodytribechip]

Funny you should mention that. I just filmed 2-handed tutorial for my website, but there's also a video here that has some of that info... kzbin.info/www/bejne/npXWYWdrd6dnoac

[@bradleyjgreen1]

Boop!

[@kirpaS]

thanks man i shall try this as i get more comfortable. How much do you weight by the way? (just tryna figure out what my max club weight should be at this stage)

[@Bodytribechip]

Weight of the club can be tricky, and often has to do with multiple factors, everything from wrist mobility to forearm strength to shoulder mobility. For instance, a good friend and regular club practitioner who weighed 20 pounds less than I do, could easily swing a club 15pounds heavier than another friend who weighed almost 90 pounds more and could out-bench the first guy by probably a good 150 pounds. That was mostly due to shoulder mobility. And although I can and do swing the 35 pounder in the video, I will also regularly return to a 15 pounder as well. Oh, and for the record, I'm about 170 pounds.

[@kirpaS]

@@Bodytribechip dope thanks for the info. I am still working through this movement comfortably with Indian clubs (3 lbs) i can do the over cast shield move with the heavy club (7kg) , Once i can comfortable with it.. i'll give this pattern ago... Thanks man your channel got some useful info and is entertaining.

[@kp32kumar]

Wow.

[@Bodytribechip]

Wow good, or wow bad?

[@PowerHousePersia]

How heavy is this club?

[@Bodytribechip]

Which one? I graduate from a 5-pound handle to a 35-pound club, with at least 2 weights in between.

[@PowerHousePersia]

Bodytribe whats the heaviest you’ve swung? And for how many repetitions?

[@Bodytribechip]

@@PowerHousePersia Don't know. Not something I test. The club, for me, is a builder of shoulder integrity, not a max effort movement. If I want to test limits, I compete in a strongman meet.

[@duenasramon]

This looks awesome! Will we be doing some of this heavy club mill training at your seminar next month? Already bought my ticket. So just looking forward into learning new things. Thanks Ramon Duenas

[@Bodytribechip]

Funny you should ask. This will probably be the first Mental Meat Heads weekend where I can show a few club basics. A rare chance to have both the resources (having enough clubs for a group this big) and the right audience. I've taught clubs many times across the U.S., but not to a MMH crew. Looking forward to showing you a few things.

[@bigcolt5256]

If I see you milling with a 50 pounder, I'm gonna kick your ass. LOL

[@Bodytribechip]

40's been my max, and I probably won;t do that again anytime soon.

[@bigcolt5256]

@@Bodytribechip Got my first club, a 15 pounder a week ago. Your videos were major in getting me started. I'm always picking the thing up. Can't get enough. Thanks for the great instruction.
