carl lewis,the best athlete ever didn't touch weights till the late 90's but used plyrometrics for explosivness.which is more important-flexibilty/power?
I fully agree that explosive power and flexibility is the right approach for a golf fitness program. There are a lot of ways to acquire both and a weights will get you there, but its not the ideal way. If you've ever looked at a power lifting program, you will see a lot of flexibility, mobility and explosive conditioning built in.

My point is most golfers shy away from ANY fitness program thinking it creates tension and inflexibility. In reality, if done properly it does the opposite.
