Great Article Regarding Training Approach

I have discovered this trainer's website along with one called "T-Nation" where many CSCS professionals post. Good stuff. There is only so much "golf specific" stuff to go around, at the end of the day, you are simply training an athlete, with a few adaptations for the demands of the sport (golf) and the current physical state of the specific golfer.

Thx Drive 300, this site has a great philosophy. Ofcourse it is concurrent with mine so I would say that. Know this will help many. Vickie

Vickie,

That site may blend in with your philosophy, but your posts are almost always in English! I would need a kinesilogist, a copy of Gray's Anatomy, and maybe a Merck manual to decipher some of that website!

You make it much easier for us. Thanks.

Ha, ha, well, its not much tougher than the Golfing Machine

Yea, there's not much tougher reading than the golfing machine and nothing so splendidly accurate. It's the price you pay sometimes. Thanks uppndown, I am often accused of over simplifying. Sometimes I have to work at it but I had a finance professor tell me once that if you confused or WOWed people with your language they would still have to go to someone else to really understand and have confidence.

I'm going to pick over the site this weekend and pick out some gems that I think will be most helpful.

Weather is sweet so many days in GA. Hope everyone is enjoying the greens. Vickie

Eric Cressey has some very good info on postural/corrective training.

Do you have his Building an Efficient Athlete video series?

No I don't. But I have read a lot of his stuff and like it. My favorite 'tool' of his is the foam roller, it makes you feel like a million bucks.

I wouldnt quite attribute that to Cressey. It is a great tool though. As is a tennis ball and yoga.

Matt, do you engage in strengh training or more pure functional training? I have been doing strengh training for the past few months and have dropped weight and increased muscle. Flexibiliy is even better than before I started....

I guess I wouldn't completely attribute it to Cressey, but his article is the first one I read with an in-depth look at how to use them and all the benefits.

I engage in more strength training, not so much golf-specific. Big compound lifts, heavy weights, medium volume 3-4x per week. It's amazing how flexible you get doing exercises that supposedly make you "big and bulky"...
