Actually I'm wondering:
what kinds of exercises are there to improve your length?

I really feel like I lost some distance since I don't have any PE at school anymore. Field hockey and golf itself just don't cover that up in strength.

Actually I'm wondering:

Ten minutes a day on a rowing machine is great for strengthening the core and leg muscles.

As an ex-runner (15 years over 20+ years ago), I feel that the biggest bang is from being aerobic fit. This translates into still having energy on the 18th after walking the course. Does this translate into golf skill? No, it does not.

That means working out for 30-60 minute range at the "it is hard to talk" level. As an old guy, 5 days a week is plenty. Doing running, ellipical training, etc works all the big muscle groups.

I have never really done much in the way of stretching. I never intentionally cooled down. In 15 years of running, I really never stretched. I did warm up. And running is a great warm up for faster running.

Weight training does have a place. It does strengthen muscles and tendons. When I do it, I prefer 3 set of 15 at a weight that I can do almost all 45 repeats at. And short breaks between sets.

I voted for weight training.  Want to get longer.  I'd say legs, get them stronger and learn how to use them in the swing.   That "jump up" in the down swing is a supercharger for the club and if you have powerful legs where you can really fire up as the clubs coming down it will add big yards.

I've been working really hard for around a year mostly lifting with some cardio and I've noticed gains in distance.  I believe stronger forearms, legs, and core are the difference for me.  I work my back, tris/bis, legs, and shoulders really hard.  I am more flexable than I've ever been and I don't stretch unless I'm sore.  There is no correlation between being thick and not flexable.  If you are a freak where your muscles get in the way then you probably don't play golf.  You can't get to that point naturally.  But a little size isn't a bad thing.

Mondays & Wednesday: Circuit Training class offered were i work, during my lunch break. 40 minutes.

Tuesdays & Thursdays: HIIT on the tredmill, alternating 1 minute high 1 minute low, try to burn at least 300 calories

Friday: Personal Weight lifting with emphasis on core and golf specific areas.

Thats what i am doing right now, about to incorporate Yoga into this as well in the evenings.

I would do more golf specific if i was in better shape, i have about 15% more body fat to loose.. Its alot, but i think i can get there by the end of the year..

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Well, if your frame of reference spins twice during the swing, then Bryson's ab/adduction is more like 780 degrees so there! (Yes I'm being silly, but not sure it's any sillier than what your pal Andy is doing...)

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Update: Brandon Sorsby has decided to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. He will not play for Texas Tech in the upcoming season.  From my perspective, I think he did the right thing. I hope he gets the correct help for his gambling addiction. I say the right thing, because I would be worried that the stress from all of this now and throughout the entire year would not be beneficial towards his mental health.  If an NFL team picks him up, then there really isn't any pressure for him to play immediately. He can work on himself and his game for the NFL.  From Texas Tech,  "Texas Tech will continue to provide the support and recovery resources Brendan requires on this journey. Furthermore, Texas Tech will not seek return of any amounts already paid to Brendan through his NIL agreements with the University," Campbell wrote. "We wish our best to Brendan, and we offer our prayers to him and his family as he chases his dreams at the next level. This has been an unbelievably painful experience for us all, but I know that his true, underlying character and lessons learned through this experience will ultimately bring him great success on the field of play and in life." Which, I also the right thing to do.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, something I noticed yesterday at the range. My eyes and visualization of what the ball needs to do is way off. I put up an alignment stick about 10 yards down range. My initial thought was, "Oh crap". Even while wearing prescription sunglasses, and I know I am hitting it towards the sun, I couldn't pick up where the ball was at all.

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By iacas · Posted

      Oh man. As you can see above, Manavian mocked me for not realizing they were getting the 130° from BOTH shoulders. Apparently, though, Manavian is also wrong, as Andy said I was lying when I cited what Manavian had written: The next thing Andy says that's both accurate and clearly stated will be the first. I replied to that post with something like: Tell Manavian who said "only counting the abduction/adduction of one shoulder rather than 2." One of the issues with “bad” information is that y’all can’t even get on the same page. You've not shown that Bryson has 130° range of motion in either shoulder separately P1 to P7. I’ve shown the numbers. You’ve name-called and just said “nuh uh” repeatedly. Did you see the AMG IG video? Of course you have. Wrapping your head around the distance the shoulder travels yet, Andy? Andy later commented to explain how he got his range of motion number (apologies to whoever @iacac and @icaca are on Instagram, who are going to be wondering just what in the hell they've gotten themselves into). Oh boy. Adding the numbers in one direction and then adding them again going back is not a "range" of motion. If I can bend my knees 140°, I don't claim to have 280° range of motion because I have two knees nor because I can also extend my knees 140° after bending them. Bryson (with a driver, again — I used his iron swing) abducts about 65° (and bends his elbow a ton) with the driver. Then he adducts 50… and then another 15°… to end up right back where he started. This is exactly the equivalent of saying that I bend my knees 140° and then straighten them, creating a range of 280°. It's so silly I don't even have much of a response. It falls down completely on its own. It doesn't need even a nudge.

      Can't remember who but some wise guy said "Arms up, body around"..😉. Anywho, been working on pinning my lead arm less and less to my chest in the BS. Decent progress with the arms, need a lot of work and trust for the 'body around' part.
