In just 3 minutes we're going to tell you how this one dumbbell movement can improve your whole golf swing the split stance rotational chop a simple Movement we can all execute using different wids and different intensities but how does it impact your swing three key areas number one is that loading phase so we're in an asymmetrical position just means that the legs are doing different things similar to what we do in the back swing we're looking to load that back leg that's a key component to a powerful gol swing and we're going to train it here with this dumbbell position we have to sit into the hips and then it's that backwards phase where we just let the momentum go into the trail glute which is going to help you with awareness and stability in your swing because in the golf swing at this point we're looking to create Force into the ground and a stable position to low load that back swing exactly the same for the movement here we load and then change direction and you can see every single time we come down we're more stable in that trail hip that gives you consistency and a good place to build speed and power reason number two core activation and a neutral spine position huge for any golfer if you can't stay in a good position if you lose your posture early extend we're not strong enough through the middle and we're putting our spine at back under stress that it doesn't need to be in when we're using weight here and activating that lower body as we already talked about we then need to transfer the energy and stay stable through the car to execute it well so as we work through this Movement we have to engage the core with our breathing and by trying to pull down into your rib cage this will lock you against the glutes and then when you start to put on the Power you can maintain that neutral spine because the muscles in the core are stabilizing the spine instead of the spine having to do too much work that's where injuries come from this is how you build longevity strength and speed with a single movement factor three is what all golfers want it's speed and rotation we've talked about the air symmetry in the balance we've talked about that stability through the core now it's all about moving that weight as efficiently and as fast as possible so in this position when we use the weight our awareness is increasing because we have that big object to move and also we're working in that same pattern as our swing working down and around the spine we're using the ground but having to create all of that Force to Peak right at the end of the movement so focus on your golf swing mechanics remember we lower down in the lower body we fire through the core and then the extremities our hands and arms deliver that final bit of speed so we turn and peek at the end just like you do in your swing we control on the way down load into the back and then on the way up we fire across the whole system you match that up to your golf swing you're going to see huge improvements because you're working on the physical capability of your body to make the same swing time after time you do that you're going to see improvements in accuracy consistency and speed development because you body is doing what it needs to do is applying forces to the club head and that's where you get a better golf swing to execute this movement the rule is simple use a dumbbell that is challenging but allows you to move in great form not falling around and losing your balance and also getting up to that nice speed so the dumb gets high in the Finish go too heavy you're going to lose that balance and you're not going to move the dumbbell fast enough or far enough go too light you're not going to get the challenge to really level yourself up that's how we work that's how you need to improve your gear in just a few minutes here and with one dumbbell you can make huge improvements to your body and your goal Fitness that is what we do and we know for a fact that you can make huge progress if you are willing to spend a little bit of time on the body to improve your gol potential and be better off the course as well is always a good thing to look after your health and fitness and that is what the Golfwood app is for head over link is in the description 7-Day free trial the best workouts in golf mobility drills practice sessions and so much more this is the strongest moving in golf make sure you get the app I appreciate you watching the video subscribe to the channel golf
