· auto-generatedStraining Michael they're not here to talk to you all about strength training how to apply to your golf game and ultimately why it's gonna make such a big difference guys all right so looking at the basics of strength is the ability to move this bill the ability to create movement relative to an external causes of cases or just your own body so sometimes we get confused to strengthen and be huge you know bill a bodybuilder staff the basic strength is the ability to create the force needed for the task at hand all right so that is there a derivative to the golf swing because there's a lot of force involved in the game right and I think the cop scene obviously has changed now with a world number one who is Jack he's big and he's always in the gym and we've got momentum starlets talk of the PGA Tour because of his strength training his fitness work and the transformation of his body okay so clearly the best players strength you don't have to go far on social media to see golfers work it out pindy some weights and improving their performance do that guys alright so why strength training important for God well if you think about the swing itself there's a no force a lot talk what overall movement involved in the golf swing they requires the actual strength to be able to stabilize in those positions and obviously as you go through stages and development of players the strength directly relative to performance as well okay so I'm starting right now from the bottom if we don't have the strength to retain posture and turn around that's fine we're going to find ourselves going up another swing up and down all right and then as soon as you start seeing this movement makes it much harder to hit the ball and it makes it much harder to become system alright so once you start something about the strength basically what we're going to see is that the body can be 10 positions that we can use the ground mark which again this Center the people talk about all the time that's their ground push out around and use the pass on your whole body to create calm and then also once you start training well the neuromuscular connection is going to be improved basically you're going to be able to fire the right muscles at the right time guys all right so if you have a part of the body that's particularly inactive you're going to throw the body off you're sequencing is going to be really difficult to maintain and again when I was optimal as we can be okay if we're strong enough to use the ground use the big muscles in the legs and the glutes spinal position use them drag through and hit the bottom of the way that we want to guys okay and he comes down to the actual science of force acceleration etc in that if you come on mass you do not need as much acceleration to equal force in thoughts all right so it's all relative obviously you can go too far in that if you have too much mass to big guy and you can't appear the acceleration then a place is gonna be thrown out the other way all right so the force created your club head speed your mouth how will you get itself is directly relative to the overall mass and the acceleration between so with the correct training we can directly benefit birth and there's a cool bidding up the TPI on this in terms of our own McElroy he was uni I obviously had all the acceleration you could possibly want in terms of just his development and natural ability but without the mass early on a lot trouble with his mother so he didn't have the strength to maintain the employers demands on his body that God was there Trinity okay sir bye atlas of mass he could create the same spot with less acceleration making it easier on the body and meaning that he could continue on and develop this gear to where he ends in a geyser so strength is in part very high in fact you need to have strength so that you can swing the way that you want to trip positions in this way and the power in the swing is going to come up you play your best golf it's going to help you play longer because if we create the right body we're going to be more efficient with less stress in the places we go these stress and that's going to help you to be optimal it's going to help you to keep your body in the position where you can continue playing for as long as possible guys alright and then ultimately shown strength obviously is going to be good for your health and your fitness also if you don't do anything you're gonna get quite a lot of imbalances just because the stress of the golf swing obviously it's an asymmetry to one side of movement so different parts of body doing different things strength training relative to those who don't play as much golf we can pass up at a position to play better and we can also mean that our body is going to be better there's less injuries more confidence in your movement and more confidence in your ability to jump in and take on anything in front of you right so all the benefits of that and you want to start strength string where do you start well first of all form is the most important thing goes around how much if we do it incorrectly because you're just going to put yourself in a bad spot your injury and you're nothing since Venice if you're going to live where you should be focusing on one area to body and again the complete wrong sequence put stress if there is if they leave it there isn't helping anything okay so what I would like to do is start like and focus only on fall at all times guys okay this might mean for certain people use it differently standing up with a kettlebell swing instead of a deadlift is a perfect way to style gay you work in the cinema ninja you're starting to use the rack musculature and you're getting yourself into the tackle position who's going to help you transfer through since then goes through a lot of different things you can squat with dumbbells you can do balance what caliber movements again it come in and be very important games all right to basically as you could do them as an ounce create a good base foundation of movement and capacity that's going to allow you to continue to do that okay so once you have got that development you then need to understand what you girls are and why you are doing the strength training okay so I already mentioned macro right he had all the acceleration possible so he was looking to lean mass in a way help me game developer and help them to work with over a period of time okay so he happy acceleration who's looking to amass a lot of players ultimately will come at it from a different side okay you need to be working strength but also into those acceleration it's not everybody has an app speed to start up okay it's how to open everything at once then it's relative to where you began okay so you do need to create that best foundation so what you would love to do is then start to put a period as program together that's going to allow you to work with your strengths first that your strength is the foundation to all of the other movement together right now so you would hit yourself some strength training whether that's Dennis squats presses etc all other things that are going to challenge the central nervous system they global movements and the Baja free weights the better okay you're going to do that for a set period of time there will be some physiological adaptation there will be some stress on the body so you're gonna have a bit of fatigue through around in around your practice and obviously that's relative to have much more to blame than what events you are playing that time okay so got a lot of top players doing this we go on amateur players you probably focus more on gym than they're doing God it's all relative guys alright we need to put this in to your routine in a way that's good to see the direct benefits for yoga okay so you're gonna hit yourself up the strength cycle first of all strength cycle large different ways to do it very simply even the start to build with progressive overload to heavy weights so your body adapts to that okay very simple once you have more strength cycle then we can start to uses percentage work some ballistic work and power into and acceleration so if we go back to our equation will looking at increasing mass and also increasing acceleration which means our force is then gonna go up as well okay so we'll get these periodic cycles you can create really good foundation knowing where your events out and that's the part you can start the program in exactly how you want my body to feel so outside the time we go you can be strength work you tap on this enduring as well but that's relative to your baseline strength and we are used to dated it if you got a good tolerance in some strength training up makes you not to fatigue if you just get used to spend training keep as far away from you gone as possible until the body starts to adapt and get used to it okay the power training is gonna allow two really critical speed in the strength but speed in the gym as well so you've seen a good percentage this still is gonna be mid-range in terms of episode okay and then massive starts getting to the most important times you girl we still need to keep the strength based in there's different ways of doing that as well but we're going to start towards feet and using all of those lips to give us the best starting point for strength and speed work guys all right see you strength demyx particular centers percentages down further sighs some more rotation okay so that's gonna be things like meant balls like power cleans like to do this but very stability as well as acceleration okay so remember strength is the foundation to all of your performance if you don't have the strength to move this club in the first place we're already feeling right so understand how true that strength training works will come up to at some point in the year now where some players I'm gonna not season and now is the time to focus on your body understand the cards with the reality again and knowing when you need your body fire back on all right bill t-base turn it into power create that full an acceleration devoting all of this we've got my part right there are pretty good ways to do this and there's no one way that each person of gay games but understanding how to put strength training into your belt performance is extremely important and you should start thinking about it right away
