I made a mace using ready-mix concrete, an empty protein powder canister and a 4' x 2" round handle.
I should weigh it but it's probably a little over 15 pounds. It's pretty heavy if am at the end of the handle. It is significantly easier if I choke up on it six inches.
I've been doing 10-to-2s and 360s. First session was really awkward as I learned the movement, and I felt it in my triceps the next day (which probably means I was using my triceps too much.)
I got smoother in the next two sessions and I wasn't sore in my triceps, but I didn't feel like my shoulders were really getting worked hard or in a special way.
I'm going to continue doing easy sessions as a finisher while I get the movement down, but so far I'm not seeing the hype. Maybe with longer sessions that will change.
