I have been following this program for about the last five months. I am very pleased that it incorporates several rotary type exercises. There are 4 foundation phases that you you should go through before you get to the main program. They are  Break-In, Muscle-Base, Strength-Base, and Power-Base. I am in the power phase now and there are several exercise in this phase that I see will benefit my golf game.

I do this program in my home garage gym. I have a power rack with a high and low pulley. An Olympic barbell and dumbbells. Medicine balls, a couple kettle bells and rubber bands. There have only been a couple exercises that I could not do with my set up. I just substituted another exercise from the book for the same body part that I had the equipment to do. A really helpful feature of this book is that he references the page numbers of where to find the exercise from the workout charts. His explanations of how to perform the exercise are very detailed.

A program designed by Nick is also for free on Bodybuilding.com called True Muscle. I did that for some time before getting this book.

Nick Tumminello is known as the coaches coach. He has put a lot of research and experience into this book.

Check it out,
Doug

      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.
