What is that with the band and working the hands up the wall criss cross? That was weird.

Assuming that's a resistance band, it looks like it works his forearms, wrists, and shoulders.

I believe the hands up the wall with bands is for rotator cuff strengthening. We did a lot of that back when I played baseball in college.

I am impressed by the core strength he showed. Those single leg exercises are very difficult to do and he made them look effortless

A little off topic, but I saw Justin Thomas recently, live, at Glen Oaks, he's not a big guy obviously, but he looked rail thin. Seeing the videos you can see more meat on his bones. I guess it's true the TV, now YouTube, puts on 10 pounds.

Yep, it is. I think that is the resistance band I usually use above my ankles (and then do the walk). Just found another use for them.

Was assuming the only workouts that kid did was lifting cases of natty light...

Was assuming "that kid" is still a better golfer than you regardless of what kind of workouts he does... 

And you've got the wrong pro golfer when youre talking about natty light. Smylie's got that covered already.59cbd749d5588_2017-09-2712-50-10_smyliekaufmannaturallight-Bingimages-GoogleChrome.thumb.png.e6a443f583c0a85927be02c13df9a8c6.png

It appears like he's not looking to develop size.  I would be intrigued to see what his diet consists of. 

Im not going to say that bulking up hinders your golf game, but these guys are trying to be fast, not super strong. Guys like Brooks Koepka can pack on some muscle and still do it, but Brooks and Justin are two entirely different body types. Justin could eat 10k calories a day and lift heavy and probably not gain a ton of weight considering how thin he is. He must have a crazy fast metabolism.

Oh, I didn't think he was trying to bulk up.  If anything, he's trying to build up his core strength and, like you said, increase his speed.

I mention his diet because as you noted, he's rail thin so I'd be curious to see what he eats as I'm sure you know it's a big component to training and fitness.  For all we know, he always been thin just doesn't feel the need eat much (relatively speaking).

I follow him on snapchat and IG and he seems to eat a pretty normal diet. He doesn't appear to drink alcohol often (at last he doesn't post when he does). He doesn't have special meals or takes weight gainer shakes or anything. I would say he probably is conscious of what he eats but probably isn't on a very strict diet.

Yeah, that seems about right.  I on the other hand have a hearty appetite and have to be careful lest I go overboard too often and suffer the results, haha.

You're preaching to the choir on that!

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
