Zen Snake 451 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Hey Ya'll, Thought Id throw this thread out there for ya. What are ya'll doing to stay in shape during this lock-down??? Or have you done anything at all? Maybe its made you realize you needed to something more! For me it was a big change. Going 4-6 days a week doing Powerlifting programing spending 2-3 hours a session. All Strength lifting to include Bench, Squat, Deadlifting and overhead pressing. Some has help with golf while others hurt my swing. So recently I switched to Golf-Wods. Basically CrossFit designed for golfers. Its nice cause I can workout at home. I'm not in the gym for hours on end and most important I still feel good about myself at the end of the day. Allot of this was also health driven. I Just turned 40 and I weigh 240. not a good number, well a good number for powerlifting cause I'm at my strongest at this weight. 350 bench, 480 squat, and 600 deadlift. all great for the gym, but not so much for golf. I just needed to get healthier and this a good change for me, as well as a great way to workout while dealing with gym shut downs and social distancing. So again! what are you doing to stay in shape?????

MIgregb 58 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Well, I actually started this several years ago to help another issue I was having, but I do 7-8 minutes of planks. I used to do just straight planks, but read that side planks really help your golf swing so now I do 4 min straight planks, side planks for a little over a minute each (trying to build up to 2 mins on each side), then finish off the time in a starting push-up position plank. It took a long time to build up to several minutes (I couldn't even do 30 seconds when I first started), but it's paid off tremendously. I've since added some arm & triceps curls (not a lot, just to keep the elbow protected), about 20 kettle bell squats, and some calf isometrics. The planks and the calf exercises are isometrics so no equipment is needed; just tenacity. All together I only spend about a half hour and do them every 2 to 3 days. Start slowly and don't quit doing them. I've absolutely helped my swing speed and improved my waistline. 3 Quote Epic Flash SZ 10.5 w/ Motore X F3 65R shaft XR 5 Wood Fairway w/stock Project X Stiff shaft EXS220 3 & 4 Hybrid w/KBS TGI Tour Graphite Reg shaft JPX919 Hot Metal 5-GW w/Project X LZ 5.5 shafts Glide 3.0 54 & 58 deg wedges White Ice Sabertooth putter Link to post
beelzeberto 207 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I teach boxing and brazilian Jiu-jitsu so I'm in the gym a lot, i really can't promote kettlebell workouts enough. They're fantastic for core work, cardio, strength, etc. Keith Webbers Extreme Kettlebell is a good program. So is Pavels simple and sinister. 2 1 Quote Sim / M2 / MG Z785 Brandon Matthews No2 - Not Made for the Tour "buy the ticket, take the ride..." Link to post

My programming is done by the coaches at Hybrid Performance Method which is owned by Stefi Cohen and her fiancée/husband Hayden Bowe. Many of the coaches involved in the programming are elite powerlifters and bodybuilders.

Jbmullin 781 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Due to the weather I bought a bow flex stair climber and put in 60-90 minutes a night on it and then do a small circuit training with free weight. Now that It’s basically spring here in northern Alberta , snow melting and plus 16C (approx 61F), I just bought a cheap mountain bike and planning on doing some distance runs now that the sidewalks are clear and clean.

dlow206 5,068 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I've gained about 4 pounds in the last 8 weeks, a small amount of muscle, the rest not. Going to get back on track from an eating perspective. From a fitness perspective, besides my normal workouts, giving myself a goal of being able to do 10 legit pull-ups in a row. Need to buy a pull-up bar, probably can only do a few pull-ups right now. 1 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Current tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 12/27/2020 Driver: TSi 2 - Graphite Design AD-XC 6S Hybrids: SIM Max 3H, 4H - Matrix Ozik 85S Irons: ZX5 5 - PW - Nippon Modus 120 S Wedges: CBX 2 54, CBX Full Face 58 - KBS Hi-Rev S Putter: ER2 Link to post

SteddyGolf 1,879 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Last night I made it through half a bag of potato chips before going to muscle failure. My goal is to be able to finish the bag without switching hands. The best thing a Golf can do as far as golf fitness is concerned is to systematically increase flexibility. Often times folks get into weight training and fail to understand the range of motion may decrease of one is not; one doing the exercises correctly and two concurrently working on their flexibility.

dlow206 5,068 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Just got a pull up bar yesterday. Has probably been a few years since I last attempted a pull-up. Surprised myself and was able to do 4 in a row. That's not that great, but decent starting point for me. 1 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Current tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 12/27/2020 Driver: TSi 2 - Graphite Design AD-XC 6S Hybrids: SIM Max 3H, 4H - Matrix Ozik 85S Irons: ZX5 5 - PW - Nippon Modus 120 S Wedges: CBX 2 54, CBX Full Face 58 - KBS Hi-Rev S Putter: ER2 Link to post
