Holy crap Tiger was looking buff on Sunday!

Not that I am saying I was checking him out or anything...

Not that there is anything wrong with that...



Anyway, just wondering, has anyone ever read about his training regiment? I would love to see what he does to keep in shape...

I may be wrong in this, but I thought I read where he keeps his training "workout" routine close to the vest. Would be interesting to see it though.

In my Grom:
Driver: :nike: Sasquatch 9.5° Graffalloy Shaft-Stiff Flex
FW: :nike: 3 (15°) & 5 (19°) Sasquatch Diamana Shaft-Stiff Flex
Hybrid: :touredge: Tour Edge Exotics Ironwood 21° Adila Shaft-Stiff Flex

I thought I had read somewhere that he is quite strong and can bench press 300lbs + or something like that...

Personally I think he has one the best, most athletic physique in sports...

Nah, I'm just kidding. Tiger's too smart for that crap. Anyone think adding muscle mass might not be a good thing for him? Now I'm just throwing this out there but perhaps he could lose a little feel with his short game.

A few years ago, Golf Digest did an "investigative report" on Tiger's workout routine. He apparently doesn't talk about his exercise regime, but the reporter gathered intel from people at gyms Tiger frequents, etc....
See: http://www.golfdigest.com/features/i...erworkout.html

I think it is just fine, he is very muscular but certainly not too muscular... I can't imagine he will add much more size in the next few years but I bet he stays around his present weight and maintains his current body fat level...

A person can accumulate so much muscle until they lose flexibility, which flexibility is critical in golf.

Tiger's probably pushing the envelope, but I have to believe he knows what he's doing. I'm sure he has a nutritionist and a strength and conditioning coach that help him monitor these kind of things.

I agree with Kevin - I think he's getting close to the envelope. There's a fine line between strength and flexibility.

I can't imagine there is anymore mystery to what he does more than most trainers come up with...it's mostly stretching, light weight high reps and cardio, combined with eating properly and the ability to work out for 3 hours/day. If we did that most of us would look like that too.

I agree, I know that there is no magic workout plan that will make me a better golfer, etc... I have worked out for many years for various sports and I just like to see how certain athletes from different sports work out... It is much more appealing to me to read how Tiger or T.O. or Sidney Crosby work out than reading about a body builder or fitness model...

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
