Yes, you absolutely can. 🦁🔥

Don't relegate your steel mace to just 360 swings and upper body conditioning. Because of its uneven, offset weight distribution, the steel mace is an incredible tool for forcing your core to fire while loading your lower body patterns.

Offset Split Squats (Forces deep core stability)

Unbalanced Walking Lunges (Challenges your rotational balance)

Asymmetrical Squat Loading (Changes how your muscles fire at the bottom of the movement)

Steel Mace Squat + Press Out

If you have a mace gathering dust, it’s time to start moving it.

The countdown is officially complete, and taking the #1 spot is the ultimate test of power and stability.

By combining a single-arm load with a dead stop reset on every single rep, this variation forces your body to work at 100% capacity. No riding the momentum of a continuous swing loop here.

Here is why it takes the crown:

The Perfect Hike: Forces the bell into the proper "channel" every time for maximum hip connection.

Massive Unilateral Load: Heavy weight on one side means your core has to work twice as hard to keep you square and fight rotation.

Peak Grip & Shoulder Stability: You have to actively pack the shoulder and crush the handle as the bell travels.

Max Force Production: You have to violently drive the hips forward to move the bell from a dead stop.

If you want to build elite core strength, a crushing grip, and explosive athletic power, this is the variation to master.

Before you buy that next weight load, watch this.

Leveling up your steel mace practice doesn't always mean grabbing a heavier mace. It means leveling up your method of assessment.

When you transition from 2-hand to 1-hand swings, your top and bottom hands face completely different demands for internal/external shoulder rotation, grip endurance, and core stability.

The Real Test: If your inside and outside swings don't feel identical side-to-side, or if that mace is clipping your shoulder blades, your joints aren't ready for the load.

Master the assessment, protect your wrists and shoulders, and then earn that next weight.

We’ve officially cracked the Top 3 of DJ’s Kettlebell Swing countdown!

If you are only doing two-handed swings, you are leaving massive gains on the table. Dropping down to a single-arm swing completely transforms the movement by introducing three major performance demands:

1️⃣ Anti-Rotation Stability: Your core and shoulders have to work overtime to keep your torso square and fight the twisting force.
2️⃣ Crushing Grip Strength: Managing a heavy, ballistic bell with one hand forces your forearm and grip to lock down completely.
3️⃣ Aggressive Power Output: To get that perfect "float" at the top with only one arm guiding the bell, your hip extension has to be violently explosive.

Are single-arm swings part of your weekly rotation, or are you stuck on two hands? Drop a 💬 below and let us know!

Stay tuned for #2! 👑

We’re moving down DJ’s Top 5 Countdown, and the Double KB Swing takes the number four spot.

It’s one of the best ways to overload your posterior chain and build serious power, but it has a built-in limiting factor: spatial clearance.

If you have shorter legs, you can't step wide enough to clear two heavy bells without completely wrecking your swing mechanics. Your anatomy literally dictates whether you can safely run this variation.

Check the tape—are you widening your stance too much just to fit the bells through? Drop a 💬 below and let us know.

Stay tuned for #3! 👑

The TOP 5 Kettlebell Swing Variations—Ranked. 👑

We’re kicking off the countdown at #5: The Traditional 2-Handed Kettlebell Swing.

Look, this is where DJ learned, and it’s the ultimate foundation for anyone getting into the game. It’s a solid option, but honestly? It doesn’t deliver the same massive athletic returns as the next four on our list.

Stay tuned to see what took the #1 spot!

Will this mace hit the ground ?
It's a very common question that we get presented with and there are many ways to answer it.
The answer presented here is a good starting point but it is not the ultimate deciding factor.
Why isn't this answer the 'final answer'?
There are more things to consider....
Thoracic Extension (back arching). The chance of your back arching during any of your swings is a possibility and an arch in your back will definitely move the mace closer to the ground compared to if you're standing upright with a braced core and stable hips. It might be challenging to quantify this in terms of an actual number to add or subtract from the measurement that you get in this video but it's something to consider because when the mace is actually in hand and swing The Arc the mace and trajectory might cause you to go into a little bit of extension and having me drop lower to the ground.
Grip (slip). The measurement here does not consider if the May slightly slips out of your hand during the backswing which would bring it closer toward the ground.
Hyper mobility. If you have crazy mobility in your shoulders, it makes my job a little lower than the back of your neck during your backswing. So keep that in mind as well.
Wrist position. If your wrist is extended during the backswing it will pull it slightly away from the ground compared to if your wrist is flexed. That's something that should be considered when you are doing this measurement as well.
Who could this help? This could help the person that is considering bringing a Mace into the training for the first time. This could also help the experienced person who is considering getting a longer mace but is not too sure how long they could actually go before it hits the ground.

How Steel Mace Length Completely Changes Your Physics 📐

When you buy a steel mace, you probably only look at the total weight. But the physical length and handle diameter completely dictate how that weight actually feels in motion.

Here is the breakdown of the physics almost no one talks about:

📐 The Handle & Diameter Baseline

1.25" Diameter Handle: Limited to a 36" max length (Available in 2kg to 6kg).

1.5" Diameter Handle: Available in both 36" and 40" lengths (Available in 2kg all the way to 32kg).

🔄 Length Changes the Balance Point

Where the weight sits changes how the mace rotates.

Shorter (36"): More weight is distributed down into the shaft. This means less torque, faster speed, and a shorter, more frequent pull.

Longer (40"): Pushes the weight heavily towards the globe. This creates massive torque, a longer backswing, and a much smoother, elongated pull.

🥊 The 36" vs 36" Battle (1.25" vs 1.5" Diameter)

Even at the exact same length, handle thickness shifts the balance point:

36" length with 1.25" handle: More weight is in the handle itself, giving you lightning-fast speed and snappier directional changes.

36" length with 1.5" handle: More weight stays concentrated in the globe. This creates a longer relative balance point, making it perfect for smooth flow work and seamless transitions.
