More Powerful Golf Swing
Question:
I'm 44 year old male in great shape. I'm 6'2" tall, weight 187 pounds
and am 7% body fat.
I hit golf balls 5 days a week playing or working on my swing for 3 hours a
day. I then hit balls with a medicus heavy club
about 45 minutes.
I also have an hour stretching exercise before for 45 minutes to a hour 6
days a week.
I have a 40 hr a week job which is not a desk job, but not too hard on the
body.
I've tried weights and golf swing exercise with weights but I seem to lose
flexibility and yes I stretch during and after. what I
would really like to do is tube and ball exercise program,
How many days and how to fit it in my week. I would like more power on
my drives.
Answer:
Tube exercises are great for golf because you have the
freedom to move in the full range of motion in which you swing the club.
The advantage (or disadvantage) of tubes is the resistance
gets tougher the closer towards the end of the range of motion.
This is important to know because if you perform tube
exercises such as low tube torso
rotation you should position yourself to where the resistance will
be the greatest in the part of your swing in which you need to increase the
strength/power the most.
Most importantly you should perform
core strengthening exercises
which will help you recruit your core muscles optimally which will lead to
better movement.
 A good time to fit in these tube exercises would be before
your stretching. You may want to cut down your stretching to 25 minutes
for 3 non consecutive days and spend a good 20 minutes on these strengthening
exercises with the resistance tubes before you stretch.
Remember, stretching is most important to perform after
your exercises if you do not want to lose (flexibility) range of motion.
