trust me lynn the plyrometrics are a no no and please advise brian on avoiding them. they are pointless for a golfer and can be disasterious. also free weights are better as you can see you progress better with the amount of weight you can handle compared to bands ! there is a place with bands but i honestly do not think this is the place and i have concrete evidense.

carl lewis never touched weights until he was around 35 but he got his stimulous from plyrometrics. he was a sprinter and a jumper and plyros are specifically designed for such events.

thanks for responses lynn but i really find strenght coaches going way OTT. brian would get better results from yoga compared to bands

I am not a trainer but have worked out since college. The best trainer I ever had incorporated plyometrics into my workout. In fact, many trainers I have spoken with suggest a golfer should work out like a sprinter, not a distance runner, becuase of the explosiveness of the sport.

Yoga is wonderful but it will not develop explosive power.
