Clubbell Training & A Question: Viking Warrior Conditioning With A Clubbell???

My training looked like this:

One-handed Mills - 15lb club - 75 reps
One-handed Swipes - 15lb club - 75 reps
Two-handed Hammer Swings - 15lb club - 75 reps
Incline Barbell Push Ups - 75 reps
 
I finished with:
 
Shiled Casts - 15lb club - 30 reps
Shoulder Casts - 15lb club - 30 reps
 
I plan on doing Viking Warrior Conditioning tomorrow with the 16kg kettlebell.
 
I was thinking about VWC & MVo2 training in general wondered if you could do it with a clubbell? Also, if you could what exercises would be best suited in terms of recruiting the most muscle and getting the heart rate up? My answer was the One-handed Mill.
 
The One-handed mill is a good compliment to the kettlebell snatch because the range of motion is almost opposite of the snatch and you are using your legs and hip snap to help drive the club from the bottom position.
 
I am going to start to working on One-handed Mills at 8 reps per 15 seconds with 15 seconds off in between sets with the 15lb club. I might need to adjust the club weight and/or the reps per 15 seconds but we shall see.

PR One - 10 Minutes:
Mills - 80 reps
Shield Casts - 80 reps

2 minutes rest

PR Two - 5 Minutes:
Barbarian - 40 reps
Shoulder Cast - 40 reps

Clubbell Training - 1000 reps!!!

I was inspired somewhat by Viking Warrior Conditioning this morning and decided to do a marathon clubbell session today (1000 reps) . It took me 1 hour and 19 minutes to complete.

My training looked like this:

Mills - 15lb club - 100 reps
Shield Cast - 15lb club - 100 reps
Figure 8/Hold - 15lb club - 100 reps
Hand 2 Hand Cleans - 15lb club - 100 reps
Torch Press - 15lb club - 100 rep
Slingshot - 15lb club - 100 reps
Arm Cast - 15lb club - 100 reps
Shoulder Cast - 15lb club - 100 reps
Barbarian Torch Press - 15 lb club - 50 reps
Crucifix - (2) 5lb clubs - 100 reps
Mills - 15lb club - 100 reps

I tried to rest as little as possible between sets, reps and exercises and can probably get it to about and hour if I push it. Maybe down the road I will try.

I can't wait for my 25lb club to get here so I can start mixing that in as well.

Clubbell Training - "360"...

After yesterday I felt a but better about my coordination with the 15lb clubbell so after work I decided to put myself through a circuit.

My training looked like this:

  • One Arm Swipes - 60 reps
  • Lunge Step Pendulum - 60 reps
  • Arm Cast - 60 reps
  • Barbarian - 60 reps
  • Shield Cast - 60 reps
  • Mills - 60 reps

My favorite exercises are the Shield Casts and the Mills as they really incorporate the whole upper body while there is alot of movement going on. It is challenging to start and stop the movement on a dime while keeping your body in proper alignment and using your core as a base as you complete the movements. This training could not be a better compliment to my kettlebell training and shot training.
