Onnit Academy Steel Mace Specialist
The mace has been around for a long time. Wrestlers have used it for centuries, most notably in India. It goes even farther back in various forms for over 2,000 years. Now, thanks to pioneers in the fitness industry, the steel mace has made its way to the West, becoming one of the most notable modern fitness training tools for athletes.

Thanks to the disproportionate weight displacement, this tool optimizes the development of stabilizer muscles, joints and primary power centers.
