Hi, Ya'll. First post here.
Just wanted to mention this to folks.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjIpg1h2j2s I've being doing indian clubs for a little bit, mostly coming out of trying to find a way to deal with my shoulders and wrists getting jerked around in aikido. That said, I've noticed a few "slingers shoulder" related posts on here, and thought I'd post something about this.
The transfer between indian clubs and slinging strength/stability seems really high... in fact one of the exercises virtually IS the arm motion for a figure eight throw.
Anyhow... it's a weight you can hold in your hand and safely swing... usually between 1 and 5 pounds. There is a heavy version of these clubs that are handled differently, that were the original form of club ex (these lighter clubs are actually an english misunderstanding of an indian exercise that became its own discipline.) I have carved some clubs before, but you can do a lot of this with a milk jug with water in it.
anyhow... there you go! Hi.
