The modern 'Club'

The “Club” is said to be the most ancient training tool used by man. It‘s effectiveness and value has withstood the test of time. It has been adopted in various forms by cultures across the globe. So why mess with a good thing, right?

As with all good things, there comes a time when it must be re-visited, re-scrutinized and re-evaluated if it is to become better, if it is to continue serving to the same capacity with each age, with each evolution of civilization. And in the last decade that time has come once again. With it’s most recent emergence and evolution coming in the form of the modern Clubbell!

Innovated and designed by the owner of RMAX International and creator of the Circular Strength Training (CST) system, Scott Sonnon, it’s ancient roots have been infused with the advances of modern science in our understanding of how the body moves.

Unlike the dumbbell & kettlebell, if you move your hands closer to the upper mass, it becomes “lighter”. To make it “heavier”, move your hands away from the center of mass and bring your hands closer together.

The Clubbell is an ideal tool for:

  • Moving through the 6 Degree’s of Freedom our bodies are meant to move in. (Biggest bang for our buck)
  • Strength training that decompresses and lubricates the joints, rather than compressing and depleting them of all nutrients and shock absorption. (Pain-free joints and movement)
  • Increased force production (leading to strength and power) due to its off-center of mass, with a lighter weight, to ensure optimal health and longevity. (Keep you going strong well into advanced age)
  • Increasing levels of sophistication to ensure continued nervous system stimulation. (Never get bored)
  • Strengthening of tendons and ligaments to support the muscles gained and what you use them for. (Decreased rate of injury)
  • Last but not least….having fun!

Another advantage of the Clubbell is the ability to micro adjust the “weight”. With the off-center weight distribution, if you simply move your hands closer to the center of mass, it becomes “lighter” because the leverage disadvantage is decreased. You want to make it “heavier”, simply move your hands further away from the center of mass and bring your hands closer together.

You can’t do this with a dumbbell or even Kettlebell. It’s fixed weight is it’s fixed weight. You want to increase resistance, you have to get the next size up. With the Clubbell however, you can go slightly heavier knowing you can adjust until you are strong enough to handle the weight at full length.

For more clubbell goodness, watch Shane’s ‘Clubbell Myths’ Series:

What size, how many and where can I buy them?

To take the greatest advantage of Clubbell training initially, you will need 1 pair of lighter Clubbells and a single heavier Clubbell.

If you’re just starting out and don’t have much experience with strength training in general:

  • Men – 1 pair of 10 lbs and a single 20 lbs
  • Women – 1 pair of 5 lbs and a single 10 lbs

If you exercise fairly regularly (at least 3 times a week) and have some experience with strength training:

  • Men – 1 pair of 15 lbs and a single 25 lbs
  • Women – 1 pair of 10 lbs and a single 15 lbs

If you’re an advanced athlete with a lot of strength training experience:

  • Men – 1 pair of 15 lbs and a single 35 lbs
  • Women – 1 pair of 10 lbs and a single 20 lbs

After moving through any of the Clubbell Evolution Series programs from beginning to end once, you WILL be ready to move up to the next weight class should you choose to do so.

IMPORTANT: The weights distributed as they are in a Clubbell, feel much heavier than their numerical number. Don’t be surprised if even the big strong guys have to drop down to 10 lbs or 15 lbs for some of the movements. Bare that in mind when making your purchase.

Clubbells: The most 'inefficient' tool gives you the most efficient & effective workout.

You can find and purchase all the sizes you will need here.

(The original modern Clubbell, from RMAX International, for purposes of optimal health, maximum training effect and safety, is endorsed and 100% recommended.)

 

NOTE: You will develop superior efficiency in movement via slinging around the world’s most “inefficient” tool (not easy to manage or move as a result of it’s extreme leverage disadvantage) and this will provide positive results. But unless married with a delivery system that takes the fullest advantage of what the Clubbell has to offer, it remains just that, a tool.

As the creator of the Clubbell Evolution Series™, I have done just that. With extensive training and exploration, a road that has lead to becoming one of North America’s leading Clubbell training authorities, I am able to offer that delivery system for optimal results. Add to that the interwoven principles behind the Dare to Evolve approach to fitness and you have yourself a powerful resource to ensure your sustained and continuous progress to the Life Evolution you are moving towards.
