👍 That’s guy.

The movements are so complex I don't think it could be quantified accurately. Just that weights aren't directly comparable. I'm thinking about how overhead in a mill there is more lever effect than at the bottom of the lower part of the movement. Again, I don't think he should stress about it. Any ...

Dang, this is not as easy as decision as I'd hoped. I see the Adex plates are .75" holes, so introduce a 3rd gauge in the mix... I don't have any olympic 2" plates, but I do have some 1" plates from a...

I was only aware of Adex when I got my club, but I think the Dangerously Fit would be a great choice. Although I’m not sure about their handle size, I think a bigger handle is what I want. My problem with the Adex is that I don’t think the weight would be distributed well when I go into heavier weights. This is where the Fit Club would be better.

Yeah...the distribution is what I'm wondering about, haha. Also, wondering if the flat and wide standard olympic weights might not protrude slightly more, and limit range of motion. Yes, I know I'm overthinking it now... I'll be buying weights either way, but I'm leaning towards DFit since I like th...

You can wrap the handle to increase diameter. It's not super hard to do. Just thought I'd mention that.

Mark Wildman on youtube talks like a weirdo but better exercise info because he monetizes with expensive gear that has his name on it. Flowing Dutchman on Youtube makes very shallow videos and monet...

The list is pretty small. There is Coach Vaughn and some Italian dude. Although Mark Wildman might be unique in his way of teaching, he usually talks about the Greeks training with clubs, and imo I think he’s completely right that they trained throwing patterns (mills).

I like the guy from China, not sure of name.

Oh the one hand I trust you did in depth research and I know you pretty well. On the other, his name is "Romeo," and I'd like results that induce me to pick such a handle 🤔

If you go with the Adex, I would say get the Wildman handle. It’s the size of a competition kettlebell handle. It will tax your forearms much more than the small handles, but there are also Hephaestus clubs. @David II has these, so you can ask him about them.
