Lots of match play in the Corps, loved it...

Ok big question, do you have a mental game??? And when did you get it, what was the turning point that change ur mental game??? For me it was boot camp and the first year or so in the fleet. Marine corps gave me that mental game my golf game needed. may seem silly but its true.

(Day 2, Week 1) Ok another 3 WOD day. Didn't push to hard and still got done in about 55 with setup and looked up only one exercise. Today I'll talk about two terminologies that you will see on a regular basis in the programing. 1. As Many Reps As Possible - (AMRAP) 2. Every Minute On the Minute - (EMOM)... Lets look at AMRAP, first it can be looked at in 2 way. As many reps as possible, or as many rounds as possible in a specific time. For example a 15 min AMRAP could look like this. 10 reps of exercise A, 10 reps of exercise B, and 20 of exercise C. This would be an example of As Many ROUNDS As Possible. Completing exercises A,B and C would be considered a round, and so on and so forth. Next would be a 5 min AMRAP. This is a little more simplistic. AMRAP in 5 min of exercise Z, As Many REPS As Possible. you basically have 5 min to complete as many reps as you can. Super simple. sorry if I'm being redundant on this one. I just want to be clear on the definition on this one. Now EMOM, I'll try and keep this one as simple as I can. Every minute on the minute you complete an exercise or rep range on set exercise. So it could look like this. EMOM for 12 min. Exercise (A) 10 pushups, Exercise (B) 10 Air Squats, a total of 60 pushups and 60 air squats should be completed of the 12 min EMOM so you have one minute complete 10 pushups, then during the start of the second min you have that minute to finish the air squats, and then you repeat for the full 12 min. You will not e working out the entire time, if it takes you 30 seconds to do the pushups then u have 30 seconds of rest before the air squat and so on and so for. I hope I've been detailed and clear on these two acronym's, If you have questions please just ask. Now more about the programing and yesterday training. I got a good sweat during yesterdays WOD's allot of light chest activation exercises. The one I liked the most and had to look up was called Kettlebell/Dumbbell (KB/DB) BURPEE DEADLIFT. I know this sound like a lot but it doesn't have to be. If you break your movements down individually its quite easy, you can find many videos on youtube showing this movement. I feel like I could add this movement into any programing and see great cardiovascular and strength improvements from this movement depending on how its used. Side note another good movement used in todays program is the Farmers walk. From previous experience if your short on time, this can be turned into a workout in itself. Multiple sets and distances, so many options in how this can be used. for example you could get 15 lbs DB's and just go for a walk, a long walk. Improves grip, builds stamina, posture is hey. Keeping head and chest up while walking. Its something from strongman that this program does that I love. Hope ya'll are enjoying the review, and enjoy the weekend.

And the programing is full of these movements. Sent from my LG-H931 using MyGolfSpy mobile app

This ping G30 hybrid, 30 bucks on E-bay it was the head only….

ill say this as to the intensity of these workouts. Depending on the pace and the weights you use, it can be intense. If you pull back the weight and the rate that you complete your WOD's you can decrease the intensity. Its up to u if u go hard or if u take ur time. For example, I could do no weight and increase the speed of the workout and help increase my cardiovascular output. Or I could slow down go a little heavier on the weights and get a good muscular burn. To ur question on minimal powerful movements. Ill explain it like this. in powerlifting you don't just squat, or bench or deadlift. you work those small supporting muscle that make those lifts possible. that same with golf. We want to try and make sure that the core is strong enough and has the stamina to make those powerful swings over and over again without fatigue setting in. So another way we could look at is, do you have the stamina to hit any ware from 500-1500 balls in practice? cause the pro's do! It takes endurance to do that. Doing that in practice means u should be able to hit 70-100 balls in a round without getting tired. I hope this helps with your questions. If not just lemme know

Yeah, that shaft is my fav, I play it in my Driver and 3W.

This is my first build, got ahold of the head on eBay for 35 and then the shaft was 30 grip 10 and my time is free. Not sure if I'll hold on to it or sell it. I'll take it out Friday and see if it or the 4 iron stay in the bag. Sent from my LG-H931 using MyGolfSpy mobile app

No, the programs are designed to be golf specific, this one is just more geared for minimal equipment. Sent from my LG-H931 using MyGolfSpy mobile app

115-118 on avrg for my drover mid 90s on my irons. I'm more than strong enough for sure. I don't know many people my age who squat over 400 and deadlift over 500. But its hard on the body and that type of training takes up allot of my time. Its just time for change.

Well I can say while following the Stalling's starter program I noticed my swing felt more consistent and my stamina increased. Being able to play as good on the front as on the back improved. But my major goals are for health reasons. After being placed on blood pressure and cholesterol medications, I realized my workout regiment as well as my diet needed to change. So I've basically been transitioning from a Powerlifter/Strongman to Golfer/Cross fitter. Right now I'm 240 and have lost 5 lbs over the last 7-8 weeks. Id like to lose another 5 lbs by the end of this program. And also the same reason allot of us are on this forum, to be a better golfer.

Just keep an eye on this thread, I'll be doing 2-3 updates a week if not more. and I'm always open to questions. I want this to be an interactive thread.

Easy money, 108 balls with coupon and free shipping came out to 96.95 so 0.89 a ball....

Thanks, I had no real expectations as to what I was going to do. Usually I spend atleast 12 weeks prepping for a Meet and with everything shut down I couldn't do that. I wasn't even training for it cause all I could do was lil gym workouts with kettlebells, dumbbells and bodyweight workouts. And so I just decided to go and have fun with friends and see what we could do. I was quite pleased with my numbers for not even Squatting, benching and deadlifting in over 3 months.

So day one is in the bag. Did 3 different Workouts Of the Day (WOD's) Just to be fair to Golf-WOD I wont be posting the exact WOD's. I feel that wouldn't be the right thing to do. So instead I will post and talk about specific exercises done or if I do post a WOD, it wont be the exact WOD. Alright lets get started, the 3 WOD's for today were a really good push for me. I was drenched by the end of the workout. With a short warmup and review of the WOD's and looking up a few exercises, I spent a total of 65 minutes in the gym. Now an exercises from the first WOD I'd like talk about. First the Single leg deadlift, had to look this one up. Looks fairly simple and went too heavy for the first 2 rounds, started off with 44lbs and finished the last 4 rounds with 26lbs. Form over ego every time and remember its ok to start off with one weight and change it half way through, I honestly do it all the time. This exercise is great for building hamstrings, gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, ankles, and the core. I will suggest a solid soled shoe while doing this, no spongy running shoes you don't wanna roll an ankle. Note: barefoot is great too if at home. Next exercise Id like to talk about was in the 3rd WOD. Again the cool thing about doing these on ur own is the ability to scale the workouts to your ability. Lunges, I hate lunges with a passion especially weighted lunges. Like I discussed with single leg DL a good solid soled shoe is a plus to help with ankle support and to avoid rolling ur ankle. So I scale this one down so I can focus on stability in the movement and to get the most from the exercise that I can. I did TRX curtsey lunges. The TRX curtsy lunges put more emphasis on the glutes of the lunging leg and the TRX helps with balance. I need this because I want to build those small stabilizers and I hate lunges...… I said that right. they suck. But enough of that. they do build great strength in the legs and that what we want. So in closing I'll say a couple more things. If you wanna try a simple WOD, give this a whirl. 3 rounds of 10 air squats, 10 cross-fit sit-ups, and 10 thrusters. Go at ur own pace, its not a race, and just have fun with fitness.

I also agree with this assessment, I will not break down my form for speed. I will try my best to keep my heartrate up and push through the program but form is key, and safety as well. Go at your own pace. This program can be modified to your ability level.

@cksurfdude I looked into a couple different programs, one was from Premier Fitness Systems out of Arizona, but they like allot of others were a bit too spendy. They offer allot of one on ones, or online coaching but financially that wasn't an viable option for me. Plus With my background in personal training (ISSA Certified) I just needed the programing, and Golf-WOD offered just that. My Background is in strength sport I.E Strongman, Powerlifting and Highland games. But golf was my first true love. 2 weeks ago I finished the Scott Stalling program from Golf-WOD and I really enjoyed it. 3 days a week of that program and rowing cardio (on a Concept 2 rower) 30-45 minutes 2 times a week. In addition I would do 2-3 days of putting and chipping for 30-60 min and play 1.5 round a week. One full round and 9 on the local executive course to work on my approach game. this is what my typical week would look like. I hope this answered ur questions.

So this thread will be an unofficial review of the Gold-WOD 6 week lock down (Kettlebell & Dumbbell) Program. I just finished up Scott Stallings 6 week challenge (from Golf-WOD) and thought this program would be a great fit for our community. My plan for this thread is to do a short write up after each workout describing the equipment and weights(lbs) used. Also the difficulty of the programming and possible workarounds, If I'm sore and how it effects my game positively or negatively. This initial post is also to open up the floor to you all and see what other things from this you like to here about or learn about from me while I'm going through and reviewing the program. I'd like to thank @GolfSpy MPR for giving me advise and direction on starting this lil project. I hope ya'll enjoy and interact with me on the journey....

I got 2 of the other programs that im going to do Un-official review on starting next week. 1 will be the 6 week KB/DB only program then the 12 week Strength program.

I've used MGS as a guide to build the clubs in my bag, shoot some didn't work. Even took 3 tries on some clubs. But I've tried to use the data presented to make the best decisions o could. Sent from my LG-H931 using MyGolfSpy mobile app

Shoot I posted the wrong video, I love TXGs take on things, it was this James robinson video that got me all twisted. And@leftyrm7 I do agree with feel having it's place. Maybe that's been part of my problems lately that I focus to much on the statistics of things. Sent from my LG-H931 using MyGolfSpy mobile app
