Gym and golf.

[TonyN]

How many people who go the gym, train in specific ways that it will benefit your game?

I go to the gym but find myself just plodding around doing bits and bobs so I got one of the PT intsructors to put a circuit together mainly on core strentgh to help me hit the ball harder and become more agile.

Some of the excercises are tough but fun.

what does everybody else do?

When my left arm aches I change the pint glass over to the right one....

 

[USER1999]

Drink beer.

 

[Parmo]

I can't think of anything more wrong than spending time in a room full of sweaty men, well unless you like that kinda thing.

My exercise is in the clubhouse.

 

[Smiffy]

I don't go to the Gym but will run about 6 or 7 miles every evening before dinner, and if I get up early enough will run another 4 or 5 in the morning before I go to work.
A little light aerobic excercise after eating, and I might treat myself to a glass of port and a cigar before bedtime.

Where is SteveK? He is always pushing the titleist performance institute.

I go gym and I have a programme, but it's mostly cardio with some emphasis on the rehabilitation of my knee. x

Maybe because i found the site helpful so thought i would pass it on ,in future i 'll keep these things to myself.
I've had to cut back on it just now having found out i have excessive fluid in my spinal chord which is putting pressure on the nerves on my lower back and right leg and the heavier i lift the more pain i get in my lower back.

I used to do circuit training 40 reps of different exercises
10 reps of different weights , chest press, pull overs etc etc.
Found it helped ball striking and general fitness alot as well as using a rowing machine and spin bikes for cardio, now i just swim lenghts of the pull till 'im back at the hospital.

When I went a few years back once I got out of hospital it was mainly cardiovascular to try and get my stamina up. If I was going now I'd try less impact workouts like swimming and some core stuff to increase turn. There are a lot of exercises I've seen recently using the large gym balls designed to build resistance in the turn which appeal and is something I might look at later in the year

[bigbiffa]

i do a lot of gym work, nothing specific for golf, mainly weights/cardio. The core work you do will be good for your game,ie the woodchopper(on cable machine) also general stretching with these big rubber bands, i also remember that if you hold a dumbell and imitate your golf swing, it helps to stretch th emuscles/fibres used in th swing. there will be a lot of stuff on the mens health website.

What's a gym?

My excercise is golf...........

 

[Jabba]

I powerlift competitively at international level. I honestly do not think it gives me any advantage on a golf course, except in heavy rough.

I think they key is strength with flexibility. Thats what C.Villegas says anyway

Is it possible, that your strength limits your swing in anyway? x
