The offset weight of The Steel Mace puts a lot of work on your hands, wrists, and forearms as you must fight to counterbalance it. This uneven weight displacement amplifies the difficulty of gripping the mace during typical movements. Your grip will be tested when performing almost every steel mace exercise.
Other steel mace exercises great for grip training:
1. 360
2. 10-to-2
3. Pendulum
4. Metronome
Altering the difficulty of the steel mace
Easier:
A wider grip on the handle will make it easier to perform most steel mace exercises.
With one hand close to the mace-head and the other hand close to the end of the handle, the movements/exercises are easier because it counterbalances the uneven weight distribution.
Harder:
By gripping towards the end of the metal rod with BOTH hands closer together you will make exercises considerably more difficult, requiring more control and overall strength, as the uneven allocation of the mace’s weight will remain off balance.
The ability to change the difficulty of a movement by simply altering your hand placement makes the Steel Mace an extremely dynamic and versatile training tool.
This guide will teach you everything you need to know about the mace, including hand placements, starting positions, grip orientation, and tons of video exercises so that you can become a pro mace user/trainer.
