Why I Love Maces (And Why You Might Too)
Ever felt like your shoulder stability and grip strength had hit a plateau? Enter the macebell: an off-center, medieval-inspired tool that challenges your rotator cuff, core, and coordination in ways you’ve never experienced. In this episode, we explore:

Origins & Anecdotes: How Short video with a steelmace transformed my own shoulder health.
Science Behind the Swing: Hear from a sports scientist on proprioception gains, a physical therapist on rehab applications, and a strength coach on where—and why—to use maces as a supplement, not a replacement.
Counterpoints & Caveats: Injury-risk considerations, learning-curve frustrations, and cost/access challenges.

Whether you’re an athlete chasing rotational power, a lifter searching for novel stimulus, or simply curious about functional strength tools, this deep dive will give you the “why,” the “how,” and the “what if” of mace training.
