(Note: Please read my Clubbells page first.) Which would be right for you?
If you are mostly interested in shoulder health and flexibility, you will never need a heavier clubbell than the 5 lb one. If you want to develop more strength, you will need a heavier bell. Clubbell exercises can be performed one hand at a time, so it is not necessary to buy two, unless you want the extra challenge of coordinating movements with both hands. A man with experience in strength training could start with one or two 15-pound clubbells and work his way up the scale to heavier bells as his skill and strength improved. A strong woman could start with a ten-pound club and then work her way up.

The first was shot in Iran and the second in India. Both illustrate beautifully how clubbells were used traditionally. The heavy wooden clubs are traditional. In the last two videos, strength coach and juijitsu champion Steve Maxwell demonstrates clubbell movements using the metal clubbells available through Torque Athletic.
