Nothing like adding exercise to chores. It brings us back to the hunter-gatherer days when we did not call it exercise we called it survival.  Lifting weights while watching football sounds like a good way of relieving aggression as long as you don't get the urge to throw the weight at the TV

Nah, the Rattlers came a missed PAT kick from putting up 70 against the opponent.  Now when it gets to Cardinals season... ;-) 

(I might start the 10am local slot games in the gym garage this season)

This evening I went for an 18 mile bike ride.  I got too caught up in work and left too late in the day to go the 30 I wanted to.  Another time!

Added another 17.5 miles on the bike this afternoon.  It was a great day to ride!  11.5 this morning and this afternoon decided to ride some more.

I can make you a video. How long do you want it ?  It should include upper and lower ab exercise and don't forget the back because that is part of the core.  What do you do now for core ?  using 1-10 how would you rate your core strength ?

Looking for a 15-20 minute core workout. Right now I do planks, curl ups, mountain climbers. Done with curl ups because of lower back. I hardly do any back workout since I left the gym. I would say I'm a 6-7 core strength (except maybe my back).

I let the moderator know what I am doing. I need make sure I don't violate any policy here. I won't be in the studio until Sunday. I will get back to you shortly

ok, I got permission to send you some links from youtube. I am going to send you a few exercises and you can tell me how they work for you so I can get a better idea on where you are at. Rate these videos 1-10 in terms of what you are feeling.  Do the planks effect your back pain ?  Let me know

Squat 65kg 3x12
Bench Press 3x3 70kg
Stiff Legged Deadlift 3x8 85kg
Machine rows 3x10
Face-Pulls 3x10
Rear Delt Machine 3x10
Rotational exercises with bands

Used to train 5-6x per week but I am too addicted to golf to spend that much time at the gym anymore. Pretty content with 2x nowadays, but I am trying to fit a third light day - working very hard to persuade myself that working out also counts as golf.

I am having trouble in my left rhomboid from over-exertion and possibly poor technique.

Anyone know of any good exercises aside from face-pulls, rear delt work, etc.?

Where is the stretching. ? Start now or you may regret it later in life.

Sorry, do I need to detail everything I do? I seemed to read in the original topic that one could just post after a completed workout?What makes you assume that I don't stretch at all, like in the mornings, the evenings, during breaks at the office, or otherwise in separate workouts? You're going as far as assuming that I haven't stretched in my entire life ("start now").

Also, you do understand that performing compound lifts with good technique, at full range of motion, actually stretches the muscles and is excellent for mobility? Arguably just as good, if not much better, than static stretching?

And what exactly may I regret and when?

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle. 
    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
