Lazy back day today just to hit the gym. 

 

New goal is to hit the 1,000 lb club by the end of the year. Current maxes are 250 on bench, 330 on squat, and 365 on deadlift, but I think I can improve all of them in 2 months.

Hit 400 on deadlift. 

 

So updated maxes are:

Bench: 250

Squat: 330

Deadlift: 400

 

Putting me only 20 lbs away!

Crushed the goal this week. Upped bench to 260, and deadlift to 410. 

So 410, 330, 260. Hit 1K exactly!

Just back in the gym today after a long layoff. Did 2 sets of 12 reps of squats, dumbbell bench presses, upright rows, triceps push downs,  and barbell curls. Just used today to get back into being in the gym. Felt good and am so happy my wife signed us up at the Y.

Driver-Ping G400+ 10.5 degrees regular flex Hybrids-Ping I25 17 & 20 degrees stiff flex Irons-Ping I3 O-size 4 through lob wedge regular flex Putter-Nike Oz 6


Ended 2018 rolling my left ankle on the golf course when retrieving my golf ball. Did not see the tree root sticking out of the ground. 

Just did 40 minutes of indoor spinning intervals doing one leg intervals, and 3 sets of 15 resistance bands strength training. 

This is not how I want to start 2019 nursing a sprained ankle. 


PiYo Strength class today. I didn't quite make it all the way but I'll try to get more done every class.

Forgot to post this yesterday. Lift day on Sunday. 3 sets of 10-12 reps of bench, bent over rows, squats, shoulder presses,  tricep pull downs, bicep curls, and calf raises. Finished up with sit ups and stretching. Felt great.

Glad to see this thread back on track! 

Diet has been off the rails, but still hitting the gym regularly. Push day yesterday, off today, pull day tomorrow. No legs for a couple weeks...tweaked my knee playing basketball...hopefully nothing too serious.

    • If you own a Stack radar (for now, it's limited to Stack radar only), and want to work on your wedge game… it turns out that wedge distances are 99% correlated to ball speed. So, with a small radar, you can practice your wedge game easily in a gamified way.
    • Day 11: 2/16/2025 Rince and Repeat: Just like yesterday I spent several 5-10 minute sessions working on what I learned on Friday.   
    • Quick update. So, I got the PXG Secret Weapon and I have to say I like it... mostly. (see below) I spent some time with it on the range and I even gathered some data in doors. I'm not going to post data yet, as my swing is still a bit of a work in progress and I'd like to gather some more data after I settle down a little bit more. But here's my review.  First as a driver replacement. ... IMO it is not a replacement, it's clearly more of a supplement... for me anyway. Not long enough to really replace the driver. For me it's about 20 yards short of my driver. It is longer than my 30-wood off the tee. (15 yards-ish) I will say it is easier to hit off the tee than my 3-wood. I get some of my best shots teeing it low, but I also get some of my worst. If I tee it about a full inch off the ground I get very consistent shots. Super repeatable. Amazingly repeatable even with my messy swing. Off the tee, I find it draw biased just a bit. You can tinker with the set up if that isn't your personal cup of tea.  As a 3-wood replacement. For me it's about perfect. It's longer than my 3-wood off the deck (my data showed 10 yards longer) and it has a gentle fade to it, which I love. You do need a clean lie, but I never hit my 3-wood off anything but a clean lie anyway. I found it interesting that I hit a gentle fade off the deck and a slight draw off a tee. I'm sure that's not uncommon. Again, you can tinker with the set up to optimize that if you wanted to... I don't want to.  It's clearly a lot longer than my 3-wood off the tee. Easier to hit off the tee than my 3 wood, and off the deck it's also longer. So, it's a no-brainer 3-wood replacement for me. I will say that over the years I've learned to use my 3-wood for this low-flying-100-yard-punch-out-from-under-a-tree shot.  I'll have to see if the Secret Weapon can handle that duty. But it's going in the bag to replace the 3-wood.  I also turned my 5-wood down from 19 degrees to 17 degrees. ... Incidentally my 3-wood had been 16 degrees. I used to always hit my 5 wood and my hybrid about the same distance. This adjustment helps my gapping a bit at the top of the bag. I can clearly hit my 5-wood farther than my hybrid now.  Overall on the PXG Secret Weapon. The good: It's clearly longer and easier to hit off the tee than my 3-wood. It's a bit longer off the deck than my 3-wood.  It's super forgiving... surprisingly so.  It's uber adjustable. ... Although I do suggest getting fit for it. That will save you having to (or wanting to) buy a weight kit just to try out the infinite number of set ups. The headcover is super cool.  The maybe not so good: Shots out of the middle sound great. Shots off the heal sound great. Shots off the toe sound ... what's the work... clangy? It's very forgiving off the toe and the heal. The flight and the distance are incredibly consistent. But the sound off the toe isn't great.  For me I tend to draw it off the tee and fade it off the deck. You can set it up to be biased either way, but in my hands I think if I set up a draw off the deck, that might induce a duck hook off the tee. ... In fairness that could also be where my swing is at right now.  It's pretty spendy. ... If I really stop and think about it, I paid $450 for a new 3-wood. Granted it's a better performing 3-wood. But for me it's really a 3-wood replacement.
