H-4 looks best out of everything I have seen this year. Don't know if I could give up the Adams A4's or if I will ever be good enough for new clubs, but damn the H-4 is $$. Thanks Mike for the video.

Tony, In between the bouts of shoveling and snowboarding I have been incorporating the Golfflexx almost daily. So far so good. My shoveling form is top notch ;) Hopefully whenever spring comes I will be able to report back properly.

IF you want to read up on some quick, different and extremely effective KB workouts, take a look at Geoff Neupert. He has a site, blog, etc www.chasingstrength.com is one. His double kb training is really good. You can't find one that is longer than 15 min, and you won't need it to be.

Due to lack of being able to play much golf I haven't been checking in much. Glad to see this thread is alive and well. Still doing Bells 3 times a week. Snowboarding season has begun as well. Today. 3x8 R+L single leg DL (held 35lb, and 44lbs) 3x10 Renegade rows (53,62) Power Plank :30 x 3 with a 70lb bell Then 3 rounds of on the minute, but in 3 min intervals, with a 3 min break between. Finish the following in the 3 min interval 30 American swings 25 bw squats 12 cleans r+L 10 burpees It was a fun one.

Quick update. Still going 3 x a week. Not been posting them up. Try to remember this month to get back on here. I saw the ? about being tight and playing the same day after working out. I have actually come to like it. The tight feeling really makes me feel "connected" As long as my hip flexors feel loose, I think it helps. Yesterday. 3x12 Straight arm sit ups with db Kettle bells (26s, 35s) Then 10 rounds of the following. Double clean Double Thruster Double Squat Double Push Press That = 1 rep and do 5 reps per round. 1 min rest in between rounds. 10 rounds total. 35s and 44s were my weights and I bumped up halfway thru.

Still hitting k bells and x fit 3 times a week. A bunch of Mtn Biking along with wake surfing too. Wish there was more golf but the other stuff has been quite fun. Workouts are going great, just got tired of typing them all out. Hope everyone is feeling strong this summer.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner folks!

No I don't feel my back bow. I feel my glutes getting a real good stretch. My posture is good. Personally, I wouldn't take my eyes to the sky, horizon maybe, but do what you think is best. Appreciate the concern.

Agreed. Surprised that I don't need much weight in each hand for it to be effective. I started doing them on a bench so i can get the weights (kbells) lower than my feet.

10 pull ups then immediately 10 push ups, 3 sets dbl straight legged DL 3x10 For time: 50 dbl cleans (44s) 40 Pullover situps (35) 30 Burpees 20 Snatches R+L (44) 10 Thrusters R+L (44) I did it in 11:50

Wow, cool story. What year was she in the Olympics?

Swings 3x20 (70) 1/2 TGU 3x5 r+l (53) For time, the following = 1 rep Swing catch, Goblet Lunge R, Goblet Lunge L, Push Press that is 1 65 of those for time. 14:23 with a 62.

I resemble this remark. I know everyone is different, but is that a thought similar to getting the lead knee heading down target line before bs is complete? Sliding hips is BY FAR the hardest thing for me.

Just read this whole thread. Awesome. Great work. Really wish I lived closer to San Diego!

Ok, that makes more sense. I am a fan of the Pistol. You are doing the workouts and are in good shape, Pistols are more about flexibility than strength. It is a long process, a few months, but a definite goal in the x-fit/kbell world. Work your way into it. Start with going from top down and rolling out on to your back SLOWLY whenever you can't maintain balance. Then do sets of them where you start out in a L sit with hands on K bells and stand up from that position. Practice them while holding on to a band hung over a pull up bar, resistance is your friend in beginning. Do Goblet squats and hold the bottom position as long as possible, just hang out down there and get comfortable with "ass to grass" All that being said, in your backswing, I don't think you need any of the above. Tight Hip Flexors are probably the culprit. A good way to stop that outer foot sway is roll your ankles in at address. It is a real subtle movement. It was taught to me to restrict hip movement, which I don't agree with at all anymore, but in the set up position it might help you. The feeling is one of trying to get your inner arch of your foot more flat to the ground. You wouldn't see your legs move laterally at all, but you might be able to see the ankle slightly roll in. SUBTLE Nothing wrong with Pistols, but Hip Flexors getting loose will probably yield quicker results.

Dbl Russian swings 4x10 Snatches R+L 4x5 DBL Cleans and Strict Press 4x5 DBL DL 4x5 TGU 8x1 each side Pile of Ab stuff and worked on Pistols at the end.

I am confused? Are you saying that you are rolling to outside of your foot while working out or while swinging a club? Or you just roll your foot when you stand? Or walk?

Rowed 2K for warm up 3x10 pull ups 3x8 squats (53,62,70) 3 rounds of dbl squats 8 Snatches 8 R+L Cleans + Thruster R+L 8 Bent Rows R+L 8 It was for time, but I wasn't feeling it. Made it through but it was really hard today.
