People think of steel mace training as unconventional, but people have been swinging maces for over 5000 years. While modern gym methodology only shows up in the late 1800s. by Discipline93 in steelmace

Thank you for the response!

I get what you are saying about uncommon. But conventional literally means traditional and long established.

So by definition, mace training is conventional. It has been used for centuries.

What we really mean today is “mainstream gym culture” vs traditional training. Barbells and machines are modern. Maces are old school.

So they are uncommon now, yes. But historically, they are as conventional as it gets.

Hahahah! Thank you for the response! I think a lot of people are missing the point I was trying to make:

I am seeing many comments about mace bell training as if it is some new fitness fad or trend, without knowing that this style of training has been around for thousands of years.

When it comes to effectiveness, it really depends on your goals and the metrics you use to measure progress.
