Pro Tips for Success
Whenever you see 10/10 or similar notation, it means you’ll perform the specified reps on both sides. For example, 10/10 means 10 reps on your left side and 10 on your right. Always work both sides evenly when using the steel mace to ensure balanced strength.
You can use a 10-pound or 15-pound steel mace, depending on your skill level and fitness. If you’re unsure which weight is right for you, check out my blog post, “What Steel Mace Weight Should You Use?”.
