probably an annoying question, but will one clubbell do?

Sorry to bother you guys, but my pc is so slow that it would take me days to search the posts for the answer that I'm sure has been explained countless times. I can only purchase one cb now. Will I be able to perform numerous exercises, or should I wait until the lotto hits, and buy two?

I would say get one club which would be pretty heavy for you and get the ABC book from Coach Szolek. The book is crucial. :twisted:

In my opinion you will get the most work for your body out of two handed swinging on a heavy club, and your body will need the least amount of adaptation time. That is, it will be heavy enough to challenge your entire frame without having to wait for your grip to catch up.

But heavy for you might be the 25, it doesn't necessarily mean the 45. ABC exercises with the 25 are a great challenge and introduction to clubbell swinging. And you will soon be graduating to one handed swings (which might take longer with the 45 :wink: )

Good Luck,

Regardless of which weight you select, you can do an awful lot with only one club. Most 2-club exercises are simply 1-club exercises done with both hands simultaneously. This does increase the overall challenge, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it, as there are plenty of ways to modify the 1-club exercises to make them more challenging.

Aside from that, Casey's idea of getting a single heavy club and the ABC book is sound if you are looking for immediate strength development. I've got a set of 10# clubs, but I've been thinking about getting individual clubs in the heavier weights for 2-handed work.
