Holy, McIlroy is a beast. No wonder he drives it so far. Ground forces. What is that, 300lbs?

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Although, Justin will not have as many back and knee issues later in life!

Yikes, I would say that's closer to 350. Good for Rory - even in my college days when I was lifting quite a bit, I never flirted with those type of squat numbers.

Any guesses as to the squats and correlation to his prodigious driving distance and accuracy?

You both lose credit for not using enough significant digits.

Rory should look into doing deeper squats with a little less weight. There's good research to show that a 90 degree squat is pretty bad on the knees, a deeper bend is better.

I'm not sure if there's some new research I'm not aware of but when I was a personal trainer we discouraged anyone from going past parallel.

My physical therapist would agree with you!  I used to do a lot of squats and have started back into it with light weights.  I have OE in my knees and do a little above parallel.

Wonder if Rory deadlifts, too... there go the shoulders... but I'm sure he has a strength coach to prevent all that...

Probably even higher than that...it looks closer to 385-390...sounds like a ton of weight but it is surprisingly achievable for someone that regularly does leg lifts.  Most people just forget to do anything other than chest and biceps when they are in the gym ;-)

What's in the bag:
Taylormade R15

If they're traditional plates its more like 500, but they look to be rubber so 265 is what I see. Not that it really matters.

The funniest part of it all for me was Rose's photo actually has the screw on bar collars attached.

Yeah, those are rubber, so with bar, maybe 300.

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).  
    • Wordle 1,003 3/6 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩   felt a little like Wyndham when the first three green and I began the fist pump…
    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
