Warrior Steel Mace: A New Workout from the Old World

By Hendrik Broekelschen Published March 23, 2017

The warrior steel mace was an effective tool for hand-to-hand combat designed first around 10,000 years ago. It is blunt, built with uneven weight, and can be tricky to control. For those same reasons, Set for Set has designed a workout mace to add to your workout tool set.

We will follow the method of this tool and be blunt. This item is for those who have entered the world of unconventional workouts. If you are someone that enjoys crossfit, all body workouts, or is looking for a tool to hone smaller stabilizing muscles, you might enjoy incorporating this into your routine. The Warrior Steel Mace comes in two weights – 15 and 20 pounds and the website instructs new users with the following, “We suggest starting with the 15LB steel mace until you master movements such as 10 to 2, 360 swing, Gravedigger, and the Barbarian squat.” If you know what those workouts are, then this tool might be right for you.

Depending on how you look at it, golf is either one of the simplest sports or one of the most complex. The objective is very easy to wrap your head around: This ball has got to wind up in a hole that's maybe a quarter mile away. Everything that happens after that, though, is where things get interesting. Of course, people who love golf love it for a wide array of reasons. Some people love the beautiful courses, while others love the stories behind their favorite players.
There are plenty of people who love golf but don't play it much themselves, and those are the people who this list is really for. Golf's full of amazing stories, and we've even gotten our fair share of great golf movies as a result. Sometimes, though, a documentary is an even better fit for a particular story set in the world of golf. As someone who doesn't play much golf but loves to watch it, these documentaries are right up my alley. They're the kinds of movies that can inspire and perplex you, and also remind you that at its best, golf is filled with legendary moments. These movies might not be on the shortlist for any awards, but that's only because sports documentaries are so recognized for how well they put stories together.
After careful consideration, we've brought you this list of the best golf documentaries you can stream now.

Julia Garner was pretty sure the Silver Surfer had to be a man before joining Fantastic Four

Garner is providing more detail about her version of the character.

Julia Garner as the Silver Surfer

Now that we've gotten our first look at Julia Garner's female version of the Silver Surfer in Fantastic Four: First Steps, we're also learning a little bit more about the Emmy winner wound up signing on to the project. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Garner revealed that she wasn't even aware that her character, Shalla-Bal, or the female version of the Silver Surfer, existed until she met with director Matt Shakman.

“I met up with Matt, who’s lovely. We met up at some restaurant in Burbank or something. I don’t even remember, but I knew it was for the Fantastic Four,” she explained. “And then I was confused because I was like, ‘Wait, isn’t the Silver Surfer a man?’ I was just like, “Okay, well, I’ll play anything.” [Laughs] I was a very big fan of Matt’s, so there was already, in my mind, like, ‘I should probably meet with Matt Shakman because he’s a very smart director and I love his work.’ And then he was explaining to me that it’s actually Shalla-Bal and that whole thing.”
