I love this thing

Easy to use indoors or out because of its compact size, the thick-handled grip club really taxes the hand, wrist, and forearm while the swinging ostensibly works on your shoulder, back, and core strength. I have mine loaded to about 14 lbs and just by keeping it handy while, say, watching TV, I'm discovering more and more uses for it, be it levers or reverse levers, front and side shoulder raises, off-weight curls, tricep extensions, finger walks, and on and on. The 3" ball is fantastic for developing overall hand strength primarily because it works your grip from so many angles, many of them that you won't hit in traditional weight or grip workouts. Couple the large grip ball with the thick handles themselves and you have an invaluable piece of equipment: I really like doing off-weight curls, and because this thing is loadable -- and because of its thick handle -- I've found I use it more than my sledges for that particular exercise.

I'd also recommend this to anyone who wants to try mace swinging. Using this, you can practice the movements for mace swinging until you're comfortable, then move on to the much longer mace.

Oh. And did I mention how well made Ryan's equipment is?

Honestly. You can't go wrong with these.
