Build Hip & Knee Strength For Sports With Heavy Clubs

heavy club exercises resilience May 13, 2025

Injury resilience often comes down to how well your body can generate and absorb force. Most people focus on traditional lifts like barbell squats, deadlifts, and presses to build force output.

But being resilient also means learning to receive force—through movements like cleans, jerks, and snatches.

While barbells can train these skills, they fall short in one key area: rotational movement. You can’t swing a barbell in an arc.

And while training in straight lines has its benefits, life and sport don’t move that way. Real movement comes from all directions.

That’s where the club shines.

Clubs allow you to generate and absorb rotational force—building strength, mobility, and durability in ways barbells simply can’t.

In today’s video, Mark demonstrates the Heavy Club Rotational Dead Clean, a powerful movement that trains your hips and core to generate torque while reinforcing your knees against the rotational forces common in field sports and martial arts.

Tap into the power of rotational strength—watch the video now!
