Indian Clubs (not for booty shaking)

[taoistfist]

just curious if anyone here uses indian clubs? if so the weights you use and more importantly what are the lengths of the clubs? if you have different sized/weight ones.

thanks for any imput,
lando

I use them. I highly recommend starting with lighter weights and working your way up. Build up the shoulder and wrist strength slowly and along different vectors.

I have two 5 pound clubs that I bought from Purple Heart Armory some years back. 22 inches

I also made a pair of 10 pounds clubs out of wooden curtain rods, cement, and large whiffle bats for the mold. 28 inches

I also made a 15 pound mace/gada out of curtain rod, cement and a small Sponge Bob ball. 53 inches
see http://maxwellsc.blogspot.com/2008/10/gitchy-gitchy-gada-ya-ya.html for instructional as well as his rationale for using lighter weights for higher reps

LOL, Shawn. A friend and I are growing out moustaches in honor of our southern Italian heritages. A handlebar might just be in the works.

Not too sure about the tigerskin loincloth.
