Day 15 - 2026-01-04

Still heavy rains here making course or range work a challenge. More net work, feeling better about movement. Lotta shanks though! Still things are improving. Will do some mirror work tonight as well.

Day 145 1-4

Recorded swings, did several rehearsals and didn't hit very many foam balls. Main focus on club face and reconnecting arm. Going to take some time to get it right.

Day 6, 1/4/26. Today almost got away from me;  I had about ten minutes and hit about ten balls in that time (6-iron, off a mat, into a net, real balls).  A few rehearsals, all slow, focusing on limiting the backswing.   I am far more consistently seeing the club back where I expect it to be on rehearsal swings than I was two months ago, which is a good sign.

Day 3: 2025.01.05

Hit some balls at the range focusing on keeping tension in right leg. Feels more compact/stable and much shorter but not really losing any distance.

Day 16 - 2026-01-05

Had to stay indoors today and focus on mirror work. I still tend to lock my trail knee on initial turn so was worthwhile to notice that and focus on unlearning it.

Day 462 - 2026-01-05

GEARS session at 11 today, so I did some Hybrid swings before-hand. Crazy how much your pelvis can turn when you would swear it's turning like 10°. 😄

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Like many things, it probably depends on the person. Some people might be gifted enough to only need one working set per week, others might need an absurd amount of working sets per week.  Working set = under a specific load doing enough sets to be let's say 1-2 reps from failure.  Depends on the person. Look at all the data plots, and the width of the band. You can see that some of the data points, at the very low set range, show significant muscle growth.  I would probably put my confidence in meta-analyses done more currently than one in 1998.  I do agree with the following... Training hard is important. If you want to optimize muscle growth, then go near failure. Resting is important.
