Weight training for golf is viewed by golfers as a lot of work, time-consuming, boring and you need a gym membership to do it. None of the above is true, and if you read this article, I?¡¯ll explain why.
You see?¡weight training for golf isn?¡¯t on machines anyways?¡so that eliminates the requirement of a gym. It?¡¯s not a lot of work, if you pick and choose the area you want to focus on. It?¡¯s not time-consuming if you do it in the convenience of your home, and have a plan of action. And lastly, it can be a lot of fun, when you use bands, exercise balls and training equipment specific to golf.
There many ?¡°so-called?¡± weight training for golf programs, but when you take a look at them, you?¡¯ll see pictures of golfers sitting on their butts in a machine. I don?¡¯t know about you, but I think golf is done ?¡°on your feet?¡±, right?
Weight training for golf is close to becoming ?¡°mainstream?¡± with the golfing community. We see and hear all the pros doing it and playing their best golf; so why wouldn?¡¯t we amateurs do it also?
There are so many reasons why to participate in a weight training for golf program, that you can?¡¯t overlook it and say you don?¡¯t need it.
Lacking power in your swing? It?¡¯s because your body can?¡¯t produce any stored energy from a full backswing with torque in your core. That?¡¯s a ?¡®physical?¡¯ issue, not mechanical.
Is your golf swing inconsistent from one swing to the next? Swing faults originate from some deeper physical limitation that?¡¯s not allowing you to make a mechanically sound and repeatable swing. How many times have you taken a lesson and heard your pro say, ?¡°you need to make a full backswing?¡±, but you just can?¡¯t physically do it? That?¡¯s a ?¡®physical?¡¯ issue, not mechanical.
How about injuries? Do you have one at the moment? The golf swing is physically damaging to the body if you don?¡¯t have enough strength and flexibility to withstand the force the golf swing puts on it. Swinging a 3 foot long lever (club) at up to 90 mph is unbelievably stressful on the joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles of the body. That?¡¯s a ?¡®physical?¡¯ issue, not mechanical.
I could go on and on, but I think you might get the idea by now.
Weight training for golf may be your ?¡°missing link?¡± to your best game ever! If you?¡¯ve tried all the ?¡®other?¡¯ methods, this is the ONLY one left. Why wouldn?¡¯t you explore the possibilities a little more?
