The steel mace was historically used as a weapon. It had spikes and it bashed heads in. Now we use it to train our bodies in functional manners. With regards to functionality, a warrior workout is essential, even in today's society.
The moves in this workout are warrior inspired, and will definitely kick your butt, as much as you'd like it to be you kicking someone else's.
Steel Mace Full Body Warrior Workout
Do each exercise below continually. Once you have done all 5 exercises, rest for 1-minute then repeat. Complete 4 rounds. It's killer.
Equipment: Steel Mace
Barbarian Squats x 20
10-to-2 x 20 (at 10 reps, change grip - i.e. right over left to left over right)
Joust x 20 each side
Upper Cut Lunge x 20 each side
Grave Digger x 20 each side
If you are feeling extra gladiatorial, add a round of slams at the end of the workout - 4 minutes of MAX work. Using a tire instead of the ground is preferable, but sometimes we can't help but beat the desert in.
