The Most Valuable Exercise You're Missing - The Mace 360
May 25, 2025
One of the most important moves any human can do is the Shield Cast, sometimes known as the Mace 360.
It's so essential to optimal human movement that we recommend most people do it everyday, if not a few times per week.
The Mace 360 is the same movement as the Shield Cast, but performed with a Mace.
This movement trains a fundamental movement pattern that allowed man to become the most dominate species on earth - throwing.
Throwing, or casting, has allowed us to hunt, fight, and build to achieve the greatest civilization in the known universe.
This pattern used to be common in ancient training regimes, but since has been lost in favor of straight line lifts like presses, pulls, and squats.
But, when you add the Mace 360 to your routine, you train the body as it was designed - to rotate.
This pattern has immense benefits on the spine, core, shoulders, and total body. It builds strength, mobilizes joints, and builds total body resilience for life.
And now, we have equipment for anyone, at any level, thanks to the adjustable Mace from Bells of Steel.
Regardless if you're injured, older, or just learning the move, you have the tools available to add this vital movement to your routine every week.
In today's video, Mark teaches exactly how to perform the Mace 360 so you can reap the benefits anywhere, anytime.
And if you want to go deeper with this move, consider our new program, Mace 360!
