In general, typical weight training modalities are suboptimal, in my opinion, due to lack of randomness and motion restricted to two planes of motion.

There is not going to be as much carry over to practical tasks as many expect.

I agree, plus anything you can do without be a crossfit cult member is cool.

I doubt it. The axe is designed for efficient use.

Actually good exercise equipment is not designed for energy efficiency at all. Completely different design paradigm.

Also, chopping wood is the same exact motion over and over and over. The purpose of the mace is to introduce variability, instability, and especially motion in the sagittal plane.

Which totally goes against everything I've ever heard. The standard train of thought has been working out in the morning increases your gains throughout the day.

For a couple generations we've trained our bodies away from fat adaptation and metabolic flexibility, and have become Carbohydrate dependent.
