The past two weeks have been all about foundational strength for me. I started as I always do with my warm up, then went into "breathing sets" of sumo deadlifts and front squats: on both I went to 3 working sets of 8 reps. This was followed by a timed set consisting of inch worms, single leg box jumps, and sled pushes for agility and conditioning.

Hey Vangator, what was the reason behind your doing 50lb flys? Was it a youthful mistake or were just trying to go as heavy as possible?

This all fantastic information y'all, thanks! My back pain is actually what lead me to study the human body, biomechanics, and pursue my Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist qualification that's coming up this Spring. I'm actually looking into creating something to help people who have had a similar pain to mine, but if I'm the only weirdo who has had that back pain, then it wouldn't make sense to do that :)

Hey guys and gals, I'm looking into researching whether or not back pain or stiffness is common for us players while we're golfing, and if there are certain stretches/exercises that could relieve it mid-round. I'm still in my 20's, but I've been bothered by the stiff back creeping up on me during the final few holes; regardless if I was in a cart or not, or if I had been adjusted by a Chiropractor recently. I'm wondering if anyone else has similar experiences to mine? If you do and wouldn't mind replying if you share this pain, if you walk or drive a cart normally, and a fair, sorta, kinda, close guesstimation of your age. You would really be helping me out. Thanks everyone! MC
