This is a workout my grandpa used to do. He said it was good training for swinging a sword at war. Once you can swing a heavy one around for 20-30 mins each way, a sword becomes as easy to swing as moving your own arms.
@@maluill you've never lifted something heavy, then lifted something significantly lighter? If you have, I bet you felt the difference in how easy it becomes for your body to lift sustain the weight of the lighter object compared to the heavier one. So, training to swinging heavy objects helps with endurance and concise movements in lighter stuff.
@@maluill swing a 3lb sword for an hour nonstop and it'll feel like it weighs 30lbs due to muscle fatigue. In a drawn out conflict, this can mean life or death. Also, a man who uses 20-30lbs to practice swinging a blade is gonna do serious damage with a 3lb blade. Cut a man down like butter.
You got one thing wrong, the mace was not a strength training tool, the mace is a weapon, this movement is conditioning yourself for the motion needed to loop the mace around behind your back to gain momentum and speed, continue the movement by keeping the elbow on the arm of the lower hand straight and pulling the weight forward and around like swinging a baseball bat and power through it driving through the hips and imagine you are swinging at the head or chest of an enemy soldier thats charging at you... the "strength training" versions of it were just slightly less deadly wooden versions that allowed a man to train with his weapon without continuously beating up his actual weapon, because metal fatigue is real and if you have an iron handled iron headed mace that you beat against a tree or whatever enough times it will eventually break but but that same amount of impacts would take many battles over many years and likely multiple generations. So they used training maces that were way cheaper while training and conditioning for battle that way they werent needlessly destroying their expensive weapons

This was a technique used to practice the and perfect the bio-mechanics of moving a sword around one's torso from above the head to either parry (bloke) or strike an opponent. "maybe it can be used as a light saber too", yes... as most of the techniques and tactics for lightsaber fighting are based on real world sword fighting techniques, just look at Count Dooku's Form 2/Makashi techniques and how they match to European rapier and sabre techniques. or look to Anakin's Form 5/Djem So style, fighting with 2 hands on the handle and a very parry and repost focused combat style that's highly reminiscent of the famed Paduan master Salvator. So yeah, it absolutely could be used like this ... just look at how Obi-Wan constantly parried Anakin's attacks in The Duel of Fates!
Bro you guys don't know a lot of things that were present in India. Things you think were invented somewhere else , but turns they were already existing in ancient India.
@@SherinFunmes that’s really applicable to many things in life and it was something that I never knew. There a great many things that are not recorded in history but passed down through generations and through nearly every culture on this planet.
@@jamiestorment6879 no this isn't a general thing... literally the greatest things that scientists from the west have taken credit for were already written in our books that are older than Jesus Christ!! I suggest you to research a little bit about valid things, theories, mathematical theories, medical expertise, key scientific achievements, astrophysics , literature An many such great advancements were made in the Indian Hindu subcontinent A lot of Indian achievements were suppressed by the Western powers and unfortunately our govts also never took any actions until recent years.
this exercise also has "historical records" of messing up the balance of your shoulder. this exercise focus solely on lats and pecs muscles which are primarily responsible for internal rotation of shoulder while ignoring external rotator muscles of shoulders. this creates muscle imbalance in your shoulder joint making it prone to injury. for real life example, look at dangal wrestlers of india. their whole shoulders are painfully internally rotated. unfortunately most players often suffer from some shoulder injury and have to retire from the sport at young age.
this exercise is not good for your shoulders though. this exercise hits your lats, pecs and triceps. overdeveloped lats and pecs will internally rotate your shoulders mak8ng it more prone to shoulder injury. don't take exercise tips from gym roids especially youtubers.

Thing is you don't need to be special equipment for this. You can do this with so many tools you might have around the house. I do this with a light sledgehammer
@@untitled6391 not really. most weightlifting uses an evenly distributed weight distribution. This uses uneven weight distribution. It's actually surprisingly difficult to find many things around the house that have an even weight distribution that is shaped well for lifting weights.
The amount of Generated core pain, ISN'T mentioned here, still it's way worth it, keep up your hydo everyone, this exercise will test your core . . . . .
Just as a note, these are valuable teaching instructions. I would add transverse turns of the thoracic spine though. The chest moves open to the swinging side and as the gada swings, the chest closes to the opposite side. This allows a smooth swing instead of a jerky swing.
Yooooo I needed to see this! And don't even know how I got here lol. Can't get to a chiropractor, not that I really need one, but my upper back is always tight from sleeping and nothing I do ever gets rid of it completely. Even the morning stretches. I'm doing this today, arm day 💪🏿 here I come

I've seen my dad do this when I was really young. He sure was jacked.
No joke, this and some perfect push-ups and freeweights turned me back into a Greek god...no long hours at gym...just this and like I mentioned morning and before bed. My core is awesome in no time and I'm in my 40s!
I used to to about 42 push ups and suddenly my right shoulder started painting like needles piercing ..scanning, x-ray revealed slight friction ( forgot the term) will heal by self and I was told stop bench press instead gave me shoulder excercise to this day I know my shoulder is weak it pains
@@granand yep, all excercise not for everyone, my shoulder always making sound when i pull up, after consulting to the nutritionist it seems my shoulder is weak, so i can't do pull up very often, so i only go with 2 - 3 reps
Farmer carries also a good one, rucking...
@@agamikhwana8596 I don't believe that certain exercises are not for good for some i think the truth is we need to balance pushing and pulling, basically working on both sides if not the body is structurally weak. this goes for any muscle, for example quads-hamstrings, abs -lower back, chest-upper back, tibialis-calves
Lolz so funny you call it a Greek god built...I call myself a demi God built lolz Ripped to the point you could prolly do a muscle anatomy class on my body ahaha My family say it's good genetics..I'm like nope..I just put the time in. Didn't fall into my lap. Most ppl give up before they see the results so they quite. On those days you have to drag your ass through it. Still better than not doing cuz you don't feel like it
This technique was practised by great Hanuman ji who introduced many physical exercise including this 'gada' exercise.
Ramayanam,mahabharatham are fictional storys dnt think as real history
I think this has been in use even before the character of Hanuman was penned down in a book

It was used to train for fighting with swords in India so maybe it can be used as a light saber too
@@milfbangerbhabhilover9771 Mate, let's break this down ...
A lightsaber is a hand held weapon with a relatively short handle and a long striking end, similar to a sword.
This was a technique used to practice the and perfect the bio-mechanics of moving a sword around one's torso from above the head to either parry (bloke) or strike an opponent.
"maybe it can be used as a light saber too", yes... as most of the techniques and tactics for lightsaber fighting are based on real world sword fighting techniques, just look at Count Dooku's Form 2/Makashi techniques and how they match to European rapier and sabre techniques.
or look to Anakin's Form 5/Djem So style, fighting with 2 hands on the handle and a very parry and repost focused combat style that's highly reminiscent of the famed Paduan master Salvator.
So yeah, it absolutely could be used like this ... just look at how Obi-Wan constantly parried Anakin's attacks in The Duel of Fates!
@@calvinhumphries9595 you can just say you agree with him
Doing this daily from 6 years, great exercise for upper body.
We called this the “Sledge Sling” when I was in high school. Never knew it had a historical record like this.
Bro you guys don't know a lot of things that were present in India. Things you think were invented somewhere else , but turns they were already existing in ancient India.
@@SherinFunmes that’s really applicable to many things in life and it was something that I never knew. There a great many things that are not recorded in history but passed down through generations and through nearly every culture on this planet.
@@jamiestorment6879 no this isn't a general thing... literally the greatest things that scientists from the west have taken credit for were already written in our books that are older than Jesus Christ!!
I suggest you to research a little bit about valid things, theories, mathematical theories, medical expertise, key scientific achievements, astrophysics , literature An many such great advancements were made in the Indian Hindu subcontinent
A lot of Indian achievements were suppressed by the Western powers and unfortunately our govts also never took any actions until recent years.
@@SherinFunmes like for example?
this exercise also has "historical records" of messing up the balance of your shoulder. this exercise focus solely on lats and pecs muscles which are primarily responsible for internal rotation of shoulder while ignoring external rotator muscles of shoulders. this creates muscle imbalance in your shoulder joint making it prone to injury.
for real life example, look at dangal wrestlers of india. their whole shoulders are painfully internally rotated. unfortunately most players often suffer from some shoulder injury and have to retire from the sport at young age.

I’ve been looking for this and was too lazy, thank you!
God damn I can imagine how good that stretch feels
this exercise is not good for your shoulders though. this exercise hits your lats, pecs and triceps. overdeveloped lats and pecs will internally rotate your shoulders mak8ng it more prone to shoulder injury.

Watch the Iron Sheik use these, it’s scary how strong he was in his prime
I got a mace and watched to Onnit videos during pandemic- good stuff
I’ve been wondering about this exercise for a while now. Thanks for the info!
The bioneer has been talking about this for a long time. Good to see others catching on.
Functional Patterns was doing macebell stuff almost ten years prior.
Thing is you don't need to be special equipment for this. You can do this with so many tools you might have around the house. I do this with a light sledgehammer
That applies to a huge chunk of weighlifting
You can bump that up to 16lber
@@untitled6391 not really. most weightlifting uses an evenly distributed weight distribution. This uses uneven weight distribution. It's actually surprisingly difficult to find many things around the house that have an even weight distribution that is shaped well for lifting weights.
The amount of Generated core pain, ISN'T mentioned here, still it's way worth it, keep up your hydo everyone, this exercise will test your core . . . . .

@@whatdothlife4660Kama Sutra is another ancient Indian exercise...😂
🏆
Just as a note, these are valuable teaching instructions. I would add transverse turns of the thoracic spine though. The chest moves open to the swinging side and as the gada swings, the chest closes to the opposite side. This allows a smooth swing instead of a jerky swing.
Fun fact: they hired this guy for live action version of "getting over it"
Underrated comment
getting over what
And hey, Gada was a War weapon too. The Indian equivalent of a Mace.
Wow I've been training a long time and never seen that method. Gonna try it out. Looks great!

Very much like your channel Doctor - have been following for a while, your hip exercises have helped me a lot ! Just did my first mace training session few days ago, and my only regret is not discovering it earlier ! It's a GREAT compliment to all of the posterior-chain work with barbells and kettlebells (have to credit Joe Daniels from Swing This KB and Mark Wildman for this realization, which I confirmed within the first few minutes of training)
Could you kindly share a link? Thx!

I used the GADA at friend's back garden.....and wow, is it hard....really works the shoulders
You can use a sledge hammer to brapctice this, you can also just chop some wood which uses this movement. Great for upperback development
I think the main purpose of this exercise was to improve the swing of the sword. A person doing this exercise can powerfully swing his sword for sure.

For a country that traditionally is very innovative specifically in mathematics, medicine, and fitness, India sure has some deplorable fitness influencers
India isn't "traditionally" innovative in maths and medicine. They only had the pseudoscience of aurved/homeopathy that can't do anything & they got lucky they never got hit by any plagues or mass pandemics during midevil times like europe and their math never evolved beyond complex algebra until modern mathematics, globalisation and industrialisation of world led to trade in knowledge worldwide.
we don't have fitness influencers, we have shady businessmen that hide behind their fitness facade, and extremely prideful and self righteous celebrities that don't have any self awareness, typical of the 'indian elite'. if you want to actually find any real indian fitness creators, they're usually shitposters that are regulars on other bigger fitness youtube channels like MPMD Derek, Greg Doucette, Zyzz meme channels, etc.
