Have you tried it without any weight on first? Can you do pistol squats?

Are one legged squats really the best exercise to help with balance related to ankle or foot roll? Obviously works you ankle, but most of the balance in a one legged squat is likely to come from the hips. Are you incorporating any other balance related exercises?

Not really, One legged squat is a huge milestone for me. THat, the handstand pushup and the muscle up. I am curious to see if it improves my swing.

Know where you're coming from I always wanted to be able to squat on a swiss ball.

Muscle up is like a pull up with a dip thrown in, yeah?

I'd imagine your stabilising muscles will be nails once you're powering through these.

Dont expect miracles.  Keep in mind there are plenty of fatbodies on the pga tour who are probably weak as shit in the gym but who have a pretty good swing.  yes, fitness can help your golf game, but it's not the end all be all either.  Also, after doing tons of workign out, it's easy to tend to want to overswing and then you end up hitting the ball all over the course and deeper into the woods!

Jibberish......just go hit 500 balls a day...everyday working on technique, thats all the workout you need, when you can handle 500, bump it to 800, you will sleep like a rock, trust me. Right after banging 100 balls out in a row, drink some protein and feed your muscles

      Day 141 12-31 Reconnecting arm and club face work. Making sure left wrist is arched only on the downswing. Not doing full swings, im pausing at the top and will do a few rehearsals.  Hit a few real balls  after, and had some curve way left.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
