I've been fumbling around with clubbells for the past year and have determined that it is time to swallow the pride and ask for some guidance. Always been one to try to figure things things out for myself, to the point its a fault. Hope those with more experience can offer some suggestions.
As stated I have been working with clubbells for about 1 year. My biggest problem is as soon as I get into a 4-6 week (somtimes sooner) routine. I develop a case of tendinitis in my wrists and the training gets shot to hell as I recover.
I am 37 years old. 6'1" 200 lbs with 20% body fat. I have been playing with scotts material for the past 4 years. Awesome stuff! This past summer a gym opened up and I have been lifting 3 days per week to develop GPP. Prior to the gym opening I performed bodyweight exercises for 5 years. I also trail run,kayak 2-3 days per week for 45-60 minutes.
About 2 weeks ago training was flowing along nicely until my latest bout with tendinitis. My routine looked like this:
Monday&Thursday- weight training 3 sets of 15-18 reps of the following; Dumbell presses,lat pulldowns,tricep push downs,barbell curls, leg machine presses,calf raises.
Tuesday &Friday- Clubells 10lbs. 10x10 overhead swings, 5x10 outward pendulum with a half lunge step, 5x10 Inward pendulum with lunge step, 10x10 order to press movement. All are performed single handed so multiply the reps by 2. I also workout with a group of filipino martial artists on fridays.
Weds, weekends-Trail run, kayak
I have a warrior wellness routine that I perform each morning and have combined light weight old indian clubs into the routine.
My training goals are the following:
1. Continue to kayak at my present level if not better as I age.
2. become graceful with the clubs and maybe compete.
3. Improve my filipino MA skills
4. Move towards more clubs and less traditional weight training. Training with the clubs gets a bit lonely. one of the reason I like the gym is there are others around to talk about training with. Like to convince others about the merits of club training. Not an easy task.
5. Maintain my current weight but 12-15% bodyfat. Have made changes in my diet to attain this goal. Lower carbs, more protein. a lot less beer!
I have 2 15lbs. clubs and 1 10 lb. club. Have had success and tendinitis with both. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
