Google it and I think you can YouTube "golf plyometrics" for some basic movements...

I can pm you a ton of them.

Way to be a douche.
 

They were confused trying to follow the course of the conversation. It goes from something about Plyometrics being good for golf, then a conversation on what that first post meant. This wasn't the most conherent thread put together. Which does stem from the first post.

Besides that, i would have to agree, just because someone didn't comprehend it doesn't make it right to ridicule them about it.

As for Ploymetrics, its alot to do with moving fast. Alot of jumping, and explosive movements. I don't really recommend them for beginners. I knew a guy who blew out his ACL doing a squat jump before. So make sure to do what you think you can handle.

Kinda like the post right after my thread aking if I was drunk or the one asking if I was on crack... But hey, I'm new to forums and I'm just learning that no matter what your size or background, everyone is a tough guy with something smart to say.

 

But again, my reason for starting the thread was genuine and I'm really surprised that so many people don't do plyometrics or even understand it for that matter.

 

It's strange threads like this that probably contribute to the fact no one understands it/wants to.

That's good you're trying to help, but at least make it helpful by showing examples, actual links, and maybe even explain it a little.

Your original post explains nothing, links to nothing, tells the user to google it, and that's about it - basically useless.

I think the title of this thread started out "Hit it long, straight into the woods" then he proceeded to talk about some ramble about plyometrics.  Of course, it's title and post have changed multiple times since then.

Yeah, without the original title it's hard to understand why people thought this was a vodka, redbull, and MMA headshots inspired thread.

i used plyo's for my basketball training when i was abit younger.. i can understand how it helps with your golf swing although im not sure whichs plyo's would?

it just makes your muscles twitch faster yeah? making you more explosive... boooom

You know, if you put that in your original post, it would've saved everyone trying to decipher what you're trying to say.

You know, now its time to turn this around. Lay off the guy, we already have 10 posts about him messing up that first OP. How many times do you have to kick a guy before your happy.

I think the OP wanted it that way, according to a couple of his posts.

So, does it matter or not, does it require making jabs all the time. There is something called the higher ground here.

Okay, that is just funny!!!  

But seriously. Plyometrics are good.  They have been around a LONG time so it's nothing new.  If you played football or really any sports in high school, chances are you've done them.  I'm sure there are quite a few that could carry over to golf.  I mean any exercise is better than no exercise, right?
 

P90X has a pretty good Plyometrics section for those interested. Actually if you do the whole P90X program for golf, you'll probably be in pretty damn good shape.

I've been doing P90 for the last 3 weeks and i have to say the plyo is NOTHING to take lightly...that portion of the program can seriously kick your A**...I highly recommend if you do the program to NOT follow the dietry program due to the incredible restrictions it puts on your diet. do everything in moderation, lay off fast food/soda and stick to limiting portions, with more of them through the day and you'll be on pace to be in GREAT shape at the end of it. It has already helped my golf game, i know this for a fact....especially when it comes to energy for the back nine. the plyo is intense...'it's the x...in P90X'
