As we all know the club was the very first weapon & tool ever fashioned by man. The very fact that it is an extension of the arm makes it the most ancient means of self-protection and self-empowerment. heavyclubs are specifically designed weighted clubs that look like baseball bats & are coated in a rubbery jacket for protecting anything close to them as they are very dense. They are great tools to help build total body strength, mostly by performing circumduction (circular motion) exercises. By wielding the clubs in various awkward & unusual motions you cause your body to use more muscles than you do during any normal daily activity, such as work, or even conventional workouts. By performing these movements you also reduce the risks of repetitive use stress & injuries, which can impede muscle performance. The human body amazingly has 6 trillion muscle fibers of which we use only about 1/3 on a daily basis. If you are an intermediate (6 months or more consistently) or advanced workout person (1 year or more consistently) still performing bench press & lat pull-downs you are not targeting anything new & subsequently nothing new will happen. The human body works on the S.A.I.D. principle, specific adaptation-to implied demand it simply means your body has gotten used to your routine. When you think about it there’s no real need for practical application of the bench press in your daily life. In the time it takes to perform 3 sets of 10 isolated muscle bench presses you could challenge your entire body performing mills, which is, a better exercise for total body strength and a whole lot more fun! Not to mention cutting your workout time significantly! As a personal trainer in Chicago I see a lot of shoulder problems, flexibility, range of motion, weakness, are some examples which can also lead to more serious problems such as chronic pain, nerve entrapment, or impingement. These problems almost always are the result of repetitive motion in linear planes. heavyclubs are great for building shoulder strength & flexibility because you’re actually rotating the shoulder using more muscle fiber than conventional exercise. heavyclubs are also good for cardio workouts giving the user leverage because of the centrifugal force used in creating motion, combined with the weight of the club makes it a truly challenging exercise heavyclubs are a fun way to enhance your workouts, as well as adding functional strength training to your routine to boost your stamina!Give club swinging a try!
