Long-form references will collect the same movement, per-side volume, density, climb, and graduation language used throughout Perside.

Why the pendulum comes before your first 360, front vs back pendulums, what weight to use, the grip mistake that causes tendinitis, and how to use pendulums as a warm-up.

Yes. Perside is a training app built for steel maces, heavy clubs and kettlebells. It runs the volume and density cycles fixed weights need and does the math for you.

The reverse mill is the mill backwards. It works the rear delts and the back of the forearms, deflects a straight punch, and trains on the same club as your mill. Sets, reps, technique and a first session.
2026-10-11
The numbers tell you when: 20 sets of 5 per side, or 20 minutes of 30/30 on two-hand clubs. What tells you which way to go next: heavier, more complex, or denser.

Indian clubs weigh 1 to 3 lb and are for mobility, blood flow and learning movement patterns. Heavy clubs build strength. What weight to start with, how to hold them, what to learn first, and a first session.
2026-10-07
Don't make weight loss the first goal. Learn to move in every direction with pushups, rows, light swings and light club circles, pick the days you can keep, and pay attention.
2026-10-06
Clubs and maces are leveraged weights. Why a 20-pound club feels heavier than 20 pounds, what the transverse plane and traction do for you, and what barbells are still better at.

Two-hand circles run on time, 30 seconds on and 30 off, from 5 sets to 20 minutes. Single-arm circles run on reps. Why outside is harder, and the grip mistake that gives people elbow tendinitis.
2026-09-08
A linear pull over a lever, standing, from behind your back. How the club pullover differs from the bench version, why it exists to build the shield cast, and how long to stay on it.

Earn it through the two-hand work first, then run the same volume cycle at the same mace. What one hand changes, why one-hand work is mainly club territory, and what opens up after.
2026-09-02
Learned from the pullover, feeding the mill. The 2H timed track, the 1H volume cycle, where the name comes from, and why you never load a range of motion you don't have.
2026-08-24
One set at the top of every minute for 10 minutes, starting at 10 swings a minute and climbing to 20. The full wave structure, why swings don't run volume cycles, and what fails first.
2026-08-24
The mill combines the inside circle and the shield cast, and you earn it through both. The full prerequisite chain, the 10x10 standard, and why training the pattern itself is the point.
2026-08-24
Finish the 360 first, then run the 10-to-2 at the same weight, 5 sets of 5 per side climbing to 20 sets of 5. What the 10-to-2 is, where it comes from, and what skipping the rest position costs you.
2026-08-20
Start at 5 sets of 5 per side and climb to 20 sets of 5. The mace weight ladder, when to go heavier, and why the jumps hurt more than the numbers look.
2026-08-18
Most men start at 16kg (35lb), most women at 12kg (26lb). Why one bell beats a starter set, what the weight actually has to pass, and when you have earned the next one.
2026-08-14
Why heavy clubs need their own progression math, the two-handed timed-set track, the single-arm volume-cycle track, and what graduation actually looks like.
