Warrior Steel Mace: A New Workout from the Old World

By Hendrik Broekelschen March 24, 2017

Steel Mace Mountain Flow

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.

Tee Major, the owner of Set for Set, believes in providing, “kick-ass unconventional training equipment and functional fitness workouts.” The company currently offers steel maces, power bands, speed ropes, and massage balls.

So, if you’re looking to get a little medieval without donning a suit of armor and hopping on a horse, all while building muscle, balance, and agility, give the Warrior Steel Mace a try. And please, tag us in any photos–we’d love to see you in action.

All of James Cameron’s films, ranked

From Terminator and Titanic to Avatar, these are the best James Cameron movies ever made

James cameron filming Terminator

Few directors understand the popular imagination the way that James Cameron does. He's had commercial instincts since early in his career, and he has now directed three of the five most financially successful films ever made. Given that legacy, it can be easy to mock what Cameron does because it's so overtly populist. He is not always a subtle director, but it's hard to deny that he's an effective one. Unlike some of Martin Scorsese or David Fincher films, James Cameron movies turn into big blockbusters every time, and he always makes them well.
Now, as we look back on his career to date, it's easy to see the throughlines between each of his projects. One thing you might notice: This guy really loves water. Here's every movie Cameron has ever made, ranked.

Ranked: The 11 best Bill Murray movies ever

He's starred in a lot of films, but if you're a fan, you must see these Murray movies

Bill Murray from Lost in Translation

A name that is and should be widely recognized in comedy, Bill Murray has been around to provide laughs for decades. Bringing his own unique qualities to the screen, Murray has carved for himself a niche based on his personality that simply cannot be copied. Between his masterful physical comedy to his perfectly timed and hysterical line deliveries, Bill is truly a one-of-a-kind talent. From his many roles over the years, the films he stars in are either because a certain director or repeat collaborator has a great bond with him, or simply because he is able to steal the spotlight no matter the assignment. Due to this, he has been given opportunities to play cameos in later films such as Dumb and Dumber To, Get Smart, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and a cameo as himself in Zombieland, which has got to be his best cameo.
All the way from wacky and zany to introspectively deep, Bill Murray portrays a lifetime of emotions in our list of films today. If you watch him closely enough, his performative nuances will make you laugh, cry, and think about what it truly means to be an actor. Murray is loved as a human being worldwide (for the most part), who has reportedly shown his face at random bars and parties just for a kick, becoming the owner of four minor league baseball teams, spontaneously studying philosophy and history in Paris, and starting his own golf apparel line. These and many other reasons are why we are here today to celebrate his accomplishments on screen, so sit back and scroll through the 10 best Bill Murray movies ever.
