Persian Meels

Price range: $245.00 through $999.00

Circular Strength Training for Bulletproof Shoulders, Grip & Rotational Power

Persian Meels train the shoulders, elbows and wrists through large, circular ranges of motion — building strength, mobility and stability in a way traditional “straight line” lifting simply can’t.

If you want shoulders that feel better, move better, and stay strong for the long haul… this is it.

Sustainable bamboo, engineered for durability and a natural aesthetic. Bamboo is…

✅ Strong and durable

Our bamboo mils are finished with a silk varnish to protect the wood and enhance the grain. No oiling needed — just train.

What Are Persian Meels?

Persian Meels (also called meel or mil) are traditional strength tools from Iran, used in the Zurkhaneh (“House of Strength”) and the Persian warrior training system known as Pahlavani.

They’re swung in smooth circular patterns to build:

✔️ Shoulder strength & stability
✔️ Grip & forearm strength
✔️ Core strength & rotational power
✔️ Improved joint health & mobility
✔️ Cardiovascular conditioning
✔️ Full-body coordination

Why Train With Persian Meels?

Persian Meels don’t isolate muscles the way traditional gym exercises do. Instead, they train the shoulder girdle as one connected system.

The shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint, designed for rotational, circular movement — not just pushing or pulling in a single plane like presses and raises.

Persian Meels develop true circular shoulder strength, teaching the shoulders, arms, and upper back to move in unison while accelerating and decelerating the load through large, rotational ranges of motion.

Very few training tools can do this effectively — clubs, maces and meels are among the few tools that load the shoulder the way it’s actually built to move.

Benefits of Persian Meel Training

✅ Improve shoulder mobility while building strength
✅ Strengthen elbows and wrists through controlled rotation
✅ Build serious grip and forearm endurance (without “wrist curls”)
✅ Develop core stability by resisting torque (anti-rotation strength)
✅ Improve coordination and timing (bilateral + cross-body control)
✅ Build upper-back engagement and better posture

💥 If you throw, strike, grapple, climb, swing, or lift… the carryover is huge!

Weight Recommendations

Beginner starting point
→ Women: 5lb per club
→ Men: 10lb per club

Design specifications

Sold as a matched pair

Your Persian Meels come as a pair, matched for feel and balance.

Weight tolerance: +5%

Because bamboo is a natural material and because manufacturing has tolerances, weight can vary slightly.

We keep variation within +5% and we bias slightly over, not under.

Example:
A 10lb club may land closer to 10.1–10.3lb, not 9.7lb.

Q. Are Persian Meels good for shoulder rehab/prehab?
A. Yes — when used light and controlled. Start easy, keep reps clean, and build gradually.
————–
Q. What’s the difference between Persian Meels and Indian Clubs?
A. Indian clubs are lighter and faster (mobility, coordination, rehab/prehab). Persian meels are heavier and build more raw rotational strength and endurance.
