Tweaked my back a couple weeks and aggravated it again this Monday. So I've just been doing a lot of core stability exercises (plank, dying bug, bear crawl) to fix it. My workouts have just been pull-ups, presses, push-ups and bench press because I can't do any deadlifts, squats or swings. I might start swimming until I can get back doing my kettlebell cardio workouts.

Starting to gain a little weight because I haven't been able to workout with the same intensity and haven't changed how much I eat. Gotta start to diet, especially with the Newport Cup coming up where we'll be eating out a lot.

This was posted by one of the fitness guys I follow, good reminder for me on what "full" should be.

Quote:
You should eat only until you are about 80% full and put your fork down between every bite.
You should be a little hungry, but never "hangry". I like, and would suggest, being slightly underfed throughout the morning and afternoon, eating lightly here and there, and then filling up, but not "stuffing" yourself at night. Again, 80% full.

Was time to hit my shoulders and biceps hard, just to let them know the week isn't done yet! Arnold Press: 5 x 10 x 22.5lbs Standing DB Press: 15 x 22.5lbs, 12 x 27.5lbs, 10 x 32.5lbs, 8 x 38.5lbs, 6 x 44.5lbs DB Shrugs: 5 x 10 x 44.5lbs Superset: x 3 -DB Lat Raises: 10 x 22.5lbs -DB Front Raises: 10 x 22.5lbs Concentration Curls: 5 x 10 x 22.5lbs Hammer Curls: 15 x 22.5lbs, 12 x 27.5lbs, 10 x 32.5lbs, 8 x 38.5lbs, 6 x 44.5lbs, 115 (yes, 115) x 16.5lbs I've also been looking at my diet lately. As a student it is quite tough, but I'm maximizing my protein intake (100-140g daily) and trying to keep carbs to a minimum. I'm steadily losing bodyfat and gaining lean muscle.

5 sets of 10 push-ups 5 sets of 20 sit-ups 5 sets of 10 squats I considered doing a max out for each, but it's still early and I'm a weakling.. I'm hoping by the end of week 2 or 3 when I bump the sets to 6 and 7 I will be able to handle maxing out better and that's really how I will measure my progress going forward.. I hope if I can stick to a routine this will help getting me into doing a little more, and living a much healthier life style.

Sorry I do not remember the names, but used my new kettlebell (35 lbs) 4 sets of 15 reps swing 4 sets of the (as many as could do) clean(?) each arm. (Right side I can do 10+, left side I am lucky to do 4-5) pushup and setup in between those I am trying to introduce more strength, rather than just running, and light dumbbells curls. Also if you want swing a club fast ... pick up a club after lifting the kettlebells ... it feels like nothing!

One more week taking a break from heavy lifting. Back is feeling great but my chiro said the moment it feels good again is when it's at it's more vulnerable. So more push-up and pull up workouts with my hip flexor stretching and glute drills.

First day back also after a slight back tweak. Attribute it to hitting a large bucket the day before. My break was two and a half weeks. Mostly just too busy

and not because of the back. Going to try and be more consistent AGAIN.

Did workout split A of my HIT workout

Squat

Bench

Row

Neck flexsion

Neck extension

Torso rotation with legs straight

Super Gripper

    • I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.  
    • Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

    • Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
