Your Workout Today

[mvmac]

Hoping to get some thoughts people might have about these workouts that were brought up in my 1000th post thread:

I would stick with what @Slice of Life has recommended. I think golf "specific" workouts are a little silly because a good fitness program is automatically a golf specific program. By "good" I mean focusing on the fundamental human movements, push, pull, carry, squat and hinge.

As to "golf specific" workouts I also believe what @mvmac says about a good fitness program being best. But I have been concerned

about the lack of a rotary component to my routine. Most all strength training routine very strictly linear.

Is there a particular reason you don't have a good rotary component to your routine?

Well yes I basically do a power lifting workout minus the overhead press because I do not think it is good for my old shoulders. Powerlifting workouts include deadlift, benchpress, and squat. I also do accessory exercises.

So all linear. Look at the list @mvmac suggested as fundamental all linear except maybe the carry.

Started a new workout today. Doing a Neila Ray 30 day HIIT. I like the way she puts work outs together!!

I have tried a variety of them that I knew would help in my core. If you've never done a HIIT program then start with her basic one and wrk up. Each of them have 3levels so You couldgo for some time withour having to change the program. Since I have started using her programs I have lost 12 lbs and dropped a couple pant sizes. She definately has a lot to choose from so just have to find one that talks to you and start there.

Another short, sharp set of circuits for me today (35 seconds on, 25 off) - left arm has been aching so had less weight on that.

3x 20 - narrow to wide squats

3x 25 - goblet press (15kg)

3x 22 - sit-ups

3x 30 - mountain climbers

3x 25 - lat pull down (50kg)

3x 20 - weighted lunges (20kg)

3x 22 - dumbbell punch (10kg each arm)

Not that bad for the moment, but I struggled with the situps on round 3. It's a shame the arm is hurting but couldn't risk more weight and time off. The next step, once I get a bit more comfortable with this is to go to 40 seconds/20 seconds.

Yeah, that'll do it haha

Want to add to what I said earlier. Golfers can do exercises to help certain parts of their swings. If a golfer has a mobility/strength issue with the right shoulder, their back, their ankles, they can obviously do exercises to help. Even then that kind of stuff will improve by doing the "fundamental movements" I listed.

The reason good golfers are good golfers is because they have good golf swings (and most Keys), not because they work out.

New PR!!!

3 reps of 300 lb squats. First two were kind of weak so I made sure to go low on #3....man was that hard to get up haha (that's what she said?)

If I get more weight I may attempt the 2x bodyweight squat...only 14 lbs away...

Little late seeing this, but congrats!! 300 lb squat at 157 lbs is impressive.  I am 157 lbs myself and sitting right about a 1.5x bodyweight squat for 1RM.

Yesterday I had my kids running around as I tried to get a workout in, so I was a little off focus, didn't push it.  Also fighting a sinus infection.  Trying not to get frustrated when life slows my progress.

Squat

5x5x185lb

Bench

5x5x135lb

Deadlift

1x5x300lb

Your deadlift is massive compared to the other two lol

Ha, I know, for some reason it comes easy to me, and I only do it about every 10 days or so.  I could probably do a 1RM around 330 lbs or so.  Strange.

I can't seem to make any progress on bench.  In fact I seem to regress.  I can't figure it out.
