January was a bust for me. I barely had time to get anything going. Decided it was more fun to go play on the occassional nice-ish day instead of hit the gym or start a new program on stack. 

I had 107, 107, 109. Basically, the same as last month's check-in. I'll call it 107 so I don't have to do math. Hoping to be able to put in more work during February.

I also just got out and yes January was not a good month for this, was but it was a bit warmer so I eked out just a bit more to average 109. As I mentioned I have started some Fit For Golf work and hoping that just slowly over time improve mobility and some strength. Probably no effect for this challenge, but by next off-season I am hoping I would see this more then. Still gonna hit it hard for the next 6 weeks and see where we land.

-11*.  That can be my number for today.... that's what the temp will be tomorrow morning... BRRRR not good for any sort of speed training.

That being said... I did get to at least swing some PWs twice in the past two weeks. Woof.  Need to pick my game up here or I'll end up slower than my starting point. 🥶

I'll just add that between the posts here and now Mike Carroll joining up with them I'm considering listing the Super Speed sticks and hoping on that bandwagon.  It was this part of his blog that really speaks to me:

"For example, let’s consider Player A & Player B both swing their driver 100mph.

Relative to norms for a player with a 100mph driver speed (which The Stack have from millions of recorded swings in their database) Player A excels with loads lighter than their driver (under load), but struggles with loads heavier than their driver (over load).

Player B is the opposite. They excel with heavier loads than driver (over load), but struggle with lighter loads (under load).

This suggests that Player A is “velocity dominant”, while Player B is “force dominant. In this instance, it is highly likely that the optimal swing speed training program for each golfer will be different."

Looking back at my notes on SuperSpeed I always have felt like my green stick numbers haven't been as high as they should be given my heavy numbers.  This last part about "force dominant" swings and the Stack's AI powered trainings to get you in your ideal program have me super interested.

I feel I am the opposite. I really struggle to get the red one moving but green comes back pretty quick and gets close to if not around 130, but red will stick around 110. After watching an old interview with Mike Carrol with Chasing Scratch he mentions if you struggle with one or the other to increase the number of swings with that club. Might reduce the green to just a couple swings, and increase the blue and red ones to try and improve that.

I swear there were times I was swinging the red as fast as the green!  so increase the number you're deficient in?

If I remember right yes, at least focus on the one that correlates closest to your driver speed, he has felt like green didn't as much for most people. Which I have found. When I start being able to move the red faster I can move driver faster so focus more there. Obviously I know the lighter still gets that brain rewiring about the same movement pattern faster, so I feel I want to keep some but maybe 2 of those and then 5 with blue and red say. Worth trying since a Stack purchase is not really in the cards right now given the cost even with a discount.

So I know I’m beating the dead horse,  but this is where the Stack AI comes through.  If you’re fast with green but not so much with red, you’d probably respond to more emphasis on overload training.  If you’re the opposite, you’d probably respond better to more overspeed training.  The app picks those nuances up during your baseline to suggest a program, then also tailors workouts within the program as you go.

So I know I’m beating the dead horse,  but this is where the Stack AI comes through.  If you’re fast with green but not so much with red, you’d probably respond to more emphasis on overload training.  If you’re the opposite, you’d probably respond better to more overspeed training.  The app picks those nuances up during your baseline to suggest a program, then also tailors workouts within the program as you go.

Are they paying you yet?

I would look into it. TBH the discussion on stack seems to be to in depth for me, I am a simple man. But I have not looked into it deeply so I could be off base, superspeed was easy, swing weight......But now I am intrigued because that explanation here makes sense to me.

This is the key idea.

Here's what my data tells me: hitting 109 with the Stack (roughly 120 with the driver dry swing no ball) is within my physical abilities. My inability to repeat it, then, is chiefly technical/mental, not physical.

I had a similar experience in Neural Drive.  If your experience is consistent with mine, you’ll adapt as you progress/transition through phases and be back up there in speed quickly.

Won't be getting a check-in for February done anytime soon. Clubs are packed up and I fly out tomorrow morning. Not going to bother with taking the PRGR with me or anything like that so I'm just going to try to enjoy my rounds over next weekend in Florida since I'm stuck there for work for the next two weeks.

February check-in time for me. After not swinging all week (minus my Stack workouts) due to the cold temperatures, the garage was right around 40 and very comfortable today.

I'm very glad I played around with my nutrition a little bit over the past few weeks. It has made a big difference, combined with a few different thoughts and feels. Speed is back/trending ever-so-slightly up, and my swing is really coming along.

My three best driver swings today were 117.3, 116.3 and 116 for an average of 116.5 MPH. Roughly 2.5 MPH up from October's baseline.

feb_checkin.jpg.82fcf0cad9814335be20a49643fd3790.jpg

I also completed my last workout of Full Speed Spectrum Stack program, and the app is eerily accurate (see below). My maxed out 6 iron neared 101 today with 140+ ball speed, and my dispersion has been getting pretty darn good as well. My main miss is still a hook when I try to crush the ball and "rip it down the third base line." I definitely have been getting more neutral overall, however, as you can see from my path and face above.

Quoting myself below from a few pages back for the backstory. In practice, I started eating some plain oatmeal and a banana with my lunch, and occasionally eat a sweet potato at dinner. Took my daily carb intake from less than 50 grams to 100-150.

So far, so good, as the additional few carbs only briefly added some water weight before it came back off again. Down about 12 pounds total since the start of the year (about 4 of that was immediate water weight loss from the holiday binge).

Second, regarding my nutrition, my goal over the next few weeks is to slowly ramp up my carbohydrate intake in an effort to regain some of the 3-4 MPH I lost over the past month. I was reading a pretty interesting research summary on Stronger by Science, which highlighted the relationship of glycogen storage in type 2/"fast twitch" muscle fibers. 

I'm continuing to make some gains in the gym with weights, but the speed has stagnated/regressed a bit since the fall. Since the start of the year my wife and I have gotten back into being lower carb more seriously (we've been low carbers for over 10 years now, but splurged a bit this past fall/holiday season) and that has correlated directly with my loss of speed.

I'm hoping by introducing a few more carbs I might capture some of that lost speed while still allowing me to work on body composition. Fun little experiment to take me through the end of this challenge.

Ah, sorry too make you repeat yourself.

I'm convinced carb depletion sabotaging speed is a thing though.  I've been carb cycling for a few weeks now, but I've noticed that on speed training days after a low carb day where I kept the carbs really low, I was much slower...less glycogen in the system I'm sure.  I'm trying to carb cycle now but to less of an extreme on the low carb days,
