MEI’m over it, and I’ll say it straight up.
The ‘coaches’ I see on social media using maces, really are clueless about mace training.
Mechanically incorrect, too light, lifting not swinging, and just training/ teaching it mostly with an ineffective, misguided approach.
So here, what to look for in them so you don’t listen, and what you should do instead to help yourself.
Before that, for reference- if you are being taught by someone who swing heavy weight 20 reps, and look light, or just swing 30kg no problem. Don’t listen to them.
They are amateur at best, and I have one very strong justification for this.
There is a lack of coaches teaching this modality for a reason. And it is because this is more technical than lifting - it is skill-strength, and takes much more awareness/ hours of skill work - therefore it is technically impossible for someone to have accumulated enough experience to show someone else correctly. They are still a beginner.
This is a 10-2 swing - it focuses on maintaining correct alignment, pushing the spinal rotation and staying fixed to the ground through a dynamic of centred motion, which most people lack, leak energy and especially when done heavy.
So here is 3 main parts to analyse in this video on why these are MUST have features to take note of your technique.
1). Bicep to ears, pull over from the elbow through the lat. It is not an arms strength training exercise.
2). Feet rooted and fixed up the chain to the hips - this is the only way you don’t leak energy.
3). Spinal engine and rotation is how you generate force to generate enough force to swing heavy shit effectively. By having 1/2 locked in, you notice the difference - with a transition between an aggressive flow when heavy, that’s effortless from fluidity in swinging and brutality enforced over the shoulder - using the lats through leverage.
Therefore, I prove it that if someone can’t do this heavy, and they are just another person on their fitness journey who started 6 months, if this is the standard, they are incompetent to teach.
I’ve just opened some availability from 1-1 coaching mentorship.
