Mace Protocol

Operation Antifragile

Coach

Matt Spaid

This mace-only program is designed to fill the gaps in your training. Build resilient strength, coordination, and joint integrity through offset, rotational loading. The mace is a powerful tool because it meets you where you are. Keep it light and the work becomes restorative by improving shoulder health, grip strength, trunk control, and nervous system regulation. Go heavier and it becomes a strength and conditioning tool, developing real-world strength, durability, and work capacity. This program is built to complement your current training, but it also stands completely on its own. Whether you’re short on time, training at home, traveling, or intentionally simplifying your approach, mace training alone can deliver meaningful strength, conditioning, and movement quality.

Use it as: A standalone minimalist strength program A warm-up or finisher alongside barbell or strongman work A recovery-focused session on low-energy days A strength-focused session when you’re ready to push

Load, tempo, and volume can be adjusted daily based on how you feel, making this ideal for tactical professionals, adaptive athletes, and anyone managing stress, injury history, or fluctuating energy levels. No machines. No fluff. Just intelligent, adaptable training that builds strength you can actually use.

Find the balance. Become antifragile.

Mace Training

Mace training builds rotational strength and core stability while improving grip, shoulder health, and mobility. It challenges coordination and flow, helping you move more efficiently in all planes of motion. By combining strength, balance, and mobility, the mace develops resilience that carries over to real-world performance.

Rotational Strength

Rotational strength is the bridge between raw strength and real-world performance. Most life—and most tactical work—doesn’t happen in straight lines. The mace challenges your body to create, control, and resist rotation, forcing the shoulders, spine, hips, and core to work together as a single system.

Offset Training

Offset training places the load outside your centerline, forcing your body to adapt in real time. With the mace, every rep demands lateral stability, grip integrity, shoulder control, and core engagement—not because you’re bracing harder, but because the load requires it.
