What weights are Persian Meel?

Persian Meel can weigh as little as 1kg each, ie. 2 kg pair, up to 100 kg pairs, ie. 50 kg each club. I have however only seen 80 kg pair Meel be swung effectively.

The lighter Meel ranging from 2-5 kg pair are commonly used for technique variations and Meel over 20 kg pair are considered to be heavy Meel.

In my experience beginners with Meel start on average on 4-7kgs/9-15lbs Meel for men and 2-5kgs/4-11lbs for women. There are exceptions of course. 

If you strength train regularly, have some experience with clubs but not Meel and would like a challenge for the next couple of years, at least, then I’d recommend max 8kg/17lb Meel, anything heavier will be too challenging to learn with.

And if you’re completely new to this and feel that you want to progress more slowly over time (safer) then I’d recommend the 4 kg Meel for beginners male and 2 kg for beginner females.
