pasitheaI've been able to juggle 3 balls for years. I have a set of clubs but I've never quite got the hang of them. I practiced them up a lot last year and _almost_ got to where I could do clubs but then, as tends to happen, I got distracted and never finished.
Since we're moving soon, I've ramped up my juggling a lot (just balls for now) because it's the same muscles used for lifting things and carrying them. In less than a week I'm back to over 800 throw/catches without dropping with my heavier beanbags so... Today I decided to up the ante and strapped 3lb weights around my wrists. Twenty minutes of that and my arms are hurting now. :) Best set was ~70 completed passes. I can increase the weight by .5lb ingots up to 5lbs. I figure when I can do 300 completed passes I'll add another half pound to each arm.
Once we're moved the living room will have a sufficiently high ceiling and we'll have outdoor space so that I can probably finally master clubs. Of course.. Then I'll have to learn to juggle 4. But I think I'll put 'juggle clubs' on my list of goals for this year. Good exercise if nothing else. :)
Soon I shall rule the world with my dark clown powers!
