Looks a little dangerous though, and I'm not sure if it has any strengthening merit because looks like mostly momentum

Try that yourself and you will see it takes massive strength to control those moves and lift that kind of weight!
LOL
I'm pretty sure those were real muscles and that he wasn't an actor.
It's a great film.

Hmm, apparently its called a Macebell. Looks like lots of wrestlers use it.

That concrete one the guy was using looks like it had to be at least 40 or 50 lbs!

Looks like somebody posted a thread concerning Macebells on this forum a while ago, sorry for the redundancy

Reposting is good! If you didn't see it and it's worth seeing, you can be sure plenty of others missed it, too. So thank you!
The movie this clip is taken from (Aparajito) is wonderful, by the way (trilogy of movies, actually).
And yes, it's also been posted about before (not a problem, really!)

It's been "spotted in the wild" and posted here three or four times now...

Fungus,
I'd forgotten/never properly processed that you were the one who made that clip.
It's gotten some serious view count in the meantime!

More Hindu Club work...

Hi There,
I just bought my sledgehammer today and did my first 14. I can't wait to make it a daily routine.
Anyway, there is a great Bollywood movie called Swades (We the People) I remember seeing some of these excercises you guys call "Hindu Clubs" and finally looked up the scene tonight.
FFwd to 3:50 to see a few seconds of it.

I recommend the movie too, BTW.
Cheers and good swinging!
