Chamblee: "When I see the things Rory's doing in the gym, I think of Tiger Woods"

[mtsalmela80]

He is squatting 265 for reps, and he is going down far enough, pretty admirable for a guy his size, but I hope he doesn't end up with unrelated back injuries as a result.....

[tmac20]

Yeah it's kg.

That would be about 265 lbs which is pretty impressive for a guy his size.

Someone take a video of McIlroy working out next to an NFL tight end or a QB or just next to a guy, same height more muscle mass.

When I saw this thread, I tried to find a relevant Rip quote for someone to throw at Chamblee.  Best I can do.  The first one has been slightly edited from its original form for this forum.

"Yes, if you squat wrong it [redacted] things up. If you squat correctly, those same [redacted]-up things will un[redacted] themselves."

"There is never an absolute answer to everything, except of course that you have to do your squats."

Would Jack's grandson count?

Maybe. Rory is ripped but he is tiny. He was about 5 feet from me at the 2014 BMW I felt like a giant standing next to him. Unfortunately I didn't feel small next to Kevin Stadler. TV makes everyone look bigger than they are. Even Phil looked like a rail in person.

You're right. He's listed as 5'9, 162 lbs (although not sure of accuracy - could be old data). Amazing how speed does so much more than weight in this game.

Phil is listed at 6'2, 200 lbs.

I'd still bet it's Kg though. Rory might be on the small side, but I'm sure he's very strong.

That's not what I would consider very strong. All relative to size but it's not like he is doing Bruce Lee amazing feats. Athletic for a golfer is on the low end of impressive. The stud kids were doing that in 9th grade when I was in school. Rory is just a couple years removed from his dough boy look.

265 is not that much. When I was his age I was 5'10, 175 and I could squat that much and did. I'm sure he is working with good trainers that emphasis proper technique and program. I'm older now and still do squats, but with less weight and more reps. That is probably in his routine as well.

Or it could be Rory is getting Chamblee'd, just like Woods did, to get eyeballs. Nitpick on something that will get people riled up. People tune in. Well played, Chamblee, well played.

Maybe half a foot shorter

A very good possibility. So is Chamblee'd Chamblee's personal form of trolling.

Really, I thought if he weighted 50 lbs more he would hit it another 60 yards

It's in kg. He posted on twitter. Something like 265 lbs squatting. He's claiming 165 lbs on twitter being his weight. 

 

 

[nevets88]

Looks like there's going to be more talk about this.

 

 

[Dave2512]

BC mention yoga as an alternative to weight training on Morning Drive this AM. Not surprising considering his Tathata Golf ties.

 

[Ernest Jones]

This shouldn't surprise anyone when you consider Chamblee's past statements:

When I brush my teeth, I think of Tiger Woods.

When yelling at my kids, I think of Tiger Woods.

When making love to my wife, I think of Tiger Woods.

And so on, and so forth...

Rory was pretty tiny, I saw him at the same tournament.  But damn he did have swagger that made him much larger than his frame.

Oh wait.

There's no question that weight training can help prevent injury, etc. and I'm sure Tiger has the best trainers. But for a while, it definitely looked like he overdid it and was more focused on how he looked than on preventing injury. I have no idea if this contributed to his injuries.

Really?  I thought it was that Elin had him wearing tighter shirts.  The notion that he was working our because he was focused on how he looked is really quit laughable, IMO.

As to the rest, unless you've been in there watching and monitoring his training I do not see how you can say it "looked like he overdid it".

Very constructive comments, thanks.

I think the total weight is about... 10kg + 15kg +25kg on each side so times two plus 20kg bar =120 kg = 265 lbs

Opps - already calculated earlier in thread

Its a lot when you are doing good reps, like Rory is doing. Most guys throw on excessive weight and have about a 12 inch range of motion. He is plenty strong enough now, he doesn't need to keep throwing on more weight.

[nevets88]

I don't know why he's getting a bad rap from whomever for working out. The guy drives it so long and accurately. Whatever he's doing, he's doing something right.
