Hindu Push-ups, Mace Swings and Sandbag Get-ups OH MY!
Non-Conventional Strength Training for Real Results
When you look around during your typical day what do you see? You probably see a lot of people who look like they’ve never worked out a day in their life. Let’s take it one step further. When you go to the gym, what do you see? I would bet you even see people in the gym who look like they never worked out, OR you see the same people you’ve seen for the last several years, doing the same exercises they always do.
And you know what? They still look the same as they always do. How can this be? They are always in the gym, yet they never change?
Well, they’re not doing something right.
Bad Nutrition? Definitely
Wrong Exercises? Probably
Wrong Intensity? Probably
Too Much Volume? Maybe
Something is not right. Maybe they’re allergic to exercise? That must be it.
Something has to change.
If you are stuck in a rut with your workout and you’re looking for some new exercises and some new challenges, try out some of the following movements.
Hindu Push-ups
Incredible movement for the shoulders and hips and is great to hit for high volumes for conditioning. It can be done on an elevated surface to help perform the movement through a full range of motion (ROM). The movement can also be overloaded with chains, a weight vest or elastic bands. It is a very popular movement with old school grapplers and fighters. I actually use it a lot in warm-up because of the benefits of the shoulders and hips.
Mace Swings
This movement can be performed using a mace or a clubbell. I love the movement because it fries the grip and opens up the upper back and shoulders. If you don’t have any of these special implements, we’ve actually used and ez-curl bar as a substitute. Mace swings should be done for high repetitions or for a specific length of time.
Sandbag Get-ups
This movement is brutal. It taxes the entire body and forces it to act as a single unit. Because the entire body is working, it becomes very metabolic, very quick. If you don’t have a sandbag, a dumbbell or kettlebell, held at arms length, can be substituted. As you drive upward on the outstretched arm, tension on the bent leg allows the straight leg to swing through into a lunge position. From there, the lifter braces hard and drives to a standing position. This movement is amazing for conditioning and great for fighters for bracing while fatigued.
Try any or all of these movements during your next training session. They can work as the supplemental exercises or you can throw them in at the end for conditioning.

When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thank you!

Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very hard to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appearance. I must say you have done a excellent job with this. In addition, the blog loads very fast for me on Safari. Outstanding Blog!

Great post.
November 16th, 2023 at 12:34 pm
obviously like your website however you need to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth on the other hand I will surely come back again.
November 17th, 2023 at 10:28 am
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% positive. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
November 25th, 2023 at 4:04 pm
Hi, I do believe this is an excellent web site. I stumbledupon it 😉 I will come back once again since I book-marked it. Money and freedom is the best way to change, may you be rich and continue to help other people.

Hey! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa? My site discusses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other. If you happen to be interested feel free to send me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you! Excellent blog by the way!
November 26th, 2023 at 10:28 pm
I truly love your blog.. Pleasant colors & theme. Did you make this site yourself? Please reply back as I’m trying to create my own website and want to know where you got this from or what the theme is called. Many thanks!
November 27th, 2023 at 6:09 pm
An impressive share! I have just forwarded this onto a coworker who had been doing a little research on this. And he in fact bought me breakfast because I discovered it for him… lol. So let me reword this…. Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanx for spending time to discuss this topic here on your web site.
