The Affordable, Practical, Fast Loading, Adjustable Mace
Made from Bamboo... The Maverick Mace is Strong, Durable and Sustainable
The Maverick Mace is the perfect training tool for both beginners and advanced lifters. It’s not only economical, but also practical and versatile, making it an essential addition to any workout routine.
With the ability to fit any 51mm (2in) weight plate and secure in place with a jaw lock collar, these training tools ensure a safe and effective workout. The fast loading system saves valuable time mid-workout, allowing you to focus on your training.
Whether you prefer flow workouts or conventional club and mace training, The Maverick Mace is versatile enough to meet your needs.
The micro-load system allows for fractional weights to be used, creating an optimal strength progression system that helps break through training plateaus.
Available In 3 Sizes
Maverick Club: At a height of 60cm (24in), The Maverick Club is the smallest among the three options. It weighs 4.5lb when empty, making it a great choice for beginners. However, it can be loaded with up to 55lb of weight, making it a challenging option even for the most experienced lifters. Additionally, The Maverick Club is versatile and suitable for single arm training, doubles training, and two-handed movements.
Maverick Torque: Standing at 80cm (31.5in) tall, The Maverick Torque falls midway between The Club and The Mace in terms of length. When empty, it weighs 5lb, and can hold a maximum load of 61lb. The extra 20cm (8in) handle length provides additional leverage, making it slightly more challenging to handle compared to The Club. The Maverick Torque is versatile and suitable for both single arm training and two-handed movements.
Maverick Mace: At a height of 109cm (43in), The Maverick Mace is the longest among the three options. While it weighs 5.5lb when empty, it can handle a maximum load of 66lb, or possibly more. This versatility makes it suitable for individuals of all experience levels, from beginners to advanced. With its extra length, The Mace provides even more leverage, making it ideal for mace flows, single arm training, and two-handed movements.

Benefits of Club & Mace Training
Grip Strength and Endurance
Club and mace training engages forearm flexors, which can help improve grip strength and endurance. This is because the club/mace tries to pull through the fingers, requiring active engagement to hold onto it.
Fun Full Body Workouts
Chain movements together into “flow workouts.” These fun and challenging full body workouts can target your entire body while keeping you engaged and motivated.
Core Strength
The club and mace are both excellent tools for training your core while standing upright on two feet. This is a more functional way to train your core, as it mimics the way we move in everyday life.
Shoulder Strength, Mobility, and Stability
Clubs and maces are particularly effective at strengthening and dynamically loading shoulder girdle muscles. The dynamic control needed to swing these training tools at speed can help develop shoulder strength, stability, and mobility, which can improve your performance in sports and reduce your risk of injury.
Rehab and Prehab
Clubs can be used as an excellent tool for rehabbing joints, tendons, and smaller muscles, as well as warming up and strengthening key areas before an intense workout. This makes them an ideal choice for prehabilitation and rehabilitation.
Joint Decompression
Traditional strength training exercises like bench press, squats, and deadlifts create compressive force, which can be tough on your joints. Swinging the club and mace through rotational exercises creates tractional force, which can decompress your joints and lengthen your connective tissue.
Multi-Planar Movement
The ability to swing clubs and maces through multiple planes is what sets it apart from other strength training tools, which generally target sagittal and frontal plane movements. Transverse plane exercises involving swinging, rotating, and twisting are often overlooked in most strength and conditioning programs, but they are crucial for building functional strength and mobility.
Rotational Strength
The club and mace are perfect for swinging, chopping, and twisting movements that develop rotational force, also known as “torque.” This type of movement pattern is often neglected in many training programs, but it’s critical for developing well-rounded strength and athleticism.
Micro Loading
Many training programs overlook the importance of an optimal strength progression system, which includes increasing the load to develop strength. This can lead to plateaus in strength gains for many people. Adding fractional weights to the Maverick Mace provide a solution to this problem and make it the ideal micro loading training tool.
Strong, Durable and Sustainable
We opted to use bamboo as the material for the Maverick Mace due to its exceptional strength, durability, and sustainability.
Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant on the planet, growing up to 15 times faster than other types of lumber, such as pine. Moreover, bamboo is easy to grow, renewable, and does not require any chemicals or pesticides, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
In addition to being sustainable, bamboo is incredibly robust and resilient. It has a higher tensile strength than several steel alloys, a higher compressive strength than various concrete mixtures, and a higher strength-to-weight ratio than graphite.
Frequently Asked Questions
Training with a macebell is an effective way to develop grip strength, core strength, shoulder strength, mobility, and stability. By incorporating steel maces into your workout routine, you can engage multiple planes of movement and target your entire body. Additionally, the tractional force produced by macebell exercises can help decompress your joints and elongate your connective tissue, providing added benefits to your overall health and fitness.
Certainly, similar to any other form of strength training, using a mace can help you build muscle. The beauty of a mace lies in its versatility as a training tool, as it can be used in various ways. Some examples include traditional steel mace exercises like the 360 and 10-to-2, offset exercises that challenge the body unilaterally, and full-body flow workouts that provide a comprehensive workout experience.
The macebell is an excellent tool for targeting the shoulders, forearms, and core muscles. In addition to upper body exercises, the mace can also be utilized for lower body movements such as squats, lunges, and deadlifts. Overall, the bamboo mace is a versatile training tool that offers a wide range of exercises to effectively work out the entire body.
While it may be possible, using the Maverick Mace for slamming a tire is not its intended purpose. If you are interested in performing such an exercise, we suggest using a steel mace instead.
To optimize your training experience, we recommend using a 7lb mace for females and a 10lb mace for males. Since the Maverick Mace is adjustable, you have the flexibility to begin with a lighter weight to focus on perfecting your form, and then gradually increase the load as you become more proficient in training with leverage.
The Maverick Mace comes with 1 x 1lb bamboo block. However, the mace can be fitted with any standard 51mm (2in) weight plate that fits an Olympic bar.
The Maverick Mace includes one jaw lock collar to keep the weight plates in place. To ensure proper security, we recommend using one collar for every 18lb loaded onto the mace.
For instance:
- 4lb-18lb = 1 collar
- 18lb-36lb = 2 collars
- 36lb-54lb = 3 collars
Certainly, you can purchase additional bamboo blocks and jaw collars in our store.
I have tested the Maverick Mace with a load of 66lb. However, it has the capacity to support additional weight, provided that one jaw collar is used for every 18lb loaded onto the mace.
Yes, the sleeve of the mace that holds the weight plates measures 50mm in width, while the handle measures 35mm. The space in between is tapered to enable smooth and seamless hand-to-hand transitions.
