Mace Training for Beginners and How to Avoid Tendonitis 

Nice.

That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing.

Agree. For something that will be doing for years, starting light is a good idea Steel maces are cheaper than dealing with injury I bought a 4 and 6 kg to start, and before they arrived went back and bought the 3kg

@@grantsmith505 yeah, working to get the reps up on 8kg now. I just don't have the grip strength to endure 200 total with 360 degree swing and its various versions. That is my goal to pass in a training session with the heaviest weight before starting on the next weight. Quick 20rep sets warmup working up to the heaviest, then endure until the body starts to tire, after I then start going down the weights until it ends with stretching exercises. Water breaks as I feel the need. Seems to be working pretty well.

@@MrEmiosk Good process you are following Swinging mace is a multi year progression, so really master each weight with no rush to step up

Thanks

Clubs and maces are super fun. I use them on my off days for recovery.

Thank you

You goal right now will have to be to continuously increase mobility and range of motion in the affected area. So for the time being you’ll have to think of you training sessions as “healing sessions” more than anything. Tendinitis (depending on how bad it is) usually take about 4-6 weeks to heal, most people keep it for longer because they don’t let it heal properly. Even though you may be in pain when you exercise do not stop exercising, if you avoid activity for too long, the tendons will become weak and may tear. The key is to ease into a light exercise routine. You should not push yourself too hard or work through pain during the session, but discomfort will be a thing. Best thing is to try and look for multiple sources of information about it, look up exercises and try them out, not all may work for you, so try and find the ones that do and stick with those. Stretching and joint rotation movements will be key. When it comes to equipment or machines use ones that allow for full range of motion and for your body to self adjust to the movement (for example no barbell bench press, switch to dumbbell bench press and so on). If an exercise is too painful stop doing it. Again, think healing. Your workouts may feel like they suck but improper training (I assume, and I mean no insult by that) brought about this tendinitis, take this time to go light and be really methodical. Stretch and allow plenty of rest and you’ll be back to 100%. 👍🏽

Sam thank you! It’s been a month since that message - have actually seeked some sports physio help with massages and some active tissue relief/ graston work, am using the armaid and have seen a lot of improvement! Great content as always

Hope its soon.

Anti inflammatory foods etc.

@@kettlebellmusclegain Consistent iceing after use and some painful Lacrosse ball rolling and it’s getting much better, thanks!

Welcome

Many ways just like kettlebell endurance training .personally I like doing sets of 30 to 60 seconds. And alternating directions . A simple way to start would be Start with 10 sets of 5 each direction. Then move up in reps.

@@kettlebellmusclegain ah I see I’ll try that out thanks dude

Welcome

It absolutely works. Thing is no matter what hits you its gonna hurt lol. Mace or sledge. Ive done it too.

🙃

Short is better for strength i feel longer is better for endurance or Comp.,

@@kettlebellmusclegain I find a can of tomato pulp who had 8.8 lbs and want make cement and put stick But i see the video and....lityle afraid
