Gotta Getta Gada

Macebell Training Video 50lb 30 reps

Loving the macebell at the minute, did some work with my new mace at the weekend.

Made up my new piece of kit from an old barbell I cut down along with some 5 kg weight discs and old collars.

Thanks to Scott Bird from Straighttothebar.com I now know what the real names are for the Hindu training exercises.... I already new about the Gada

Dands (Hindu Push-ups), Bathiaks (Hindu Squats), and Gada (Mace)

Dands and Bathiaks, yeah!

Here's my vid. Found the new 50lb'er a real challenge. Absolutely destroyed my grip, triceps, abs and back not to mention a little tweak on my inner thigh :)

I would highly recommend trying this out as it's also great fun. Careful though as there is an element of risk involved so be warned.

Old School Macebell Training - Hindu Workout




Nice video from the 1950's

Check out the Hindu Pushups, macebell swinging and hindu squats.


I guess these things have always been done, for centuries.

Old is now new and everything is coming around again.

Press ups, squats and swinging heavy stuff around whether it's a kettlebell,a macebell or a sandbag.

Keeping fit and strong doesn't have to be expensive or time consuming.

Also, don't let strength and fitness be a craze or a 'latest thing' for you, make it part of your daily life. Just do something and you'll reap the benefits

How To Make a Macebell

Make Your Own Macebell

Still I am getting around to making a macebell, but yet have not found the time.

However, all is not lost as I do believe I have just the thing already at home that would could pass as a Macebell.

A couple of years ago I welded an end on a 1 inch steel shaft so I could load weights on and use it as a Scots Hammer in preperation for Highland Games. So this weekend will be my first ever Macebell workout (providing my device allows)

So if you are looking to make a Macebell and do not have the required welding equipment to make a steel one then Steve Maxwell has a superb post on his site for making a great looking macebell along with some really welldone pictures of them stage by stage
