mace swings and mobility: match made in heaven

One of the hardest things to manage is sets of mace swings. I'm sure there's a way to program them, but it isn't something I've gotten ahold of yet. In general, higher rep sets feel better. I actually feel my lats and shoulders loosening up on longer sets. My grip and abs likewise get the biggest boost if im fighting longer time under tension.

The problem is usually rest between sets. How do you ensure each set is high effort without doing lower intensity sets as 'feeders' or taking long breaks with your dick in your hands?

Answer: super set hip and knee mobility with sets of mace swings. Also on the menu is small body parts bodybuilding (calves, neck) but choose your journey. Instead of a rest period or a sub par future set, you get in some productive work you were going to try and skip anyways. 

Example
Set a timer for 30min
Mace swings: goal 100 reps
Hip mobility / isometrics (both sides)
Mace swings: goal 100 reps
Neck curls front/back
Mace swings: goal 100 reps
Hip mobility / isometrics 
Mace swings: goal 100 reps
Neck curls sides
If time remaining, repeat

Isometrics and mobility prioritize quality over rep count
Small body parts done to failure
