dude you have done every exercise wrong
How do you figure?
the exercise you are doing with the pole !! your leaning way too far foward of your center of gravity ( a sure way to damage your back). those big swiss balls are a they are not a good way to build core strength (they do more harm than good)if your wantin too buld core strenght try free weights i.e dead lifts ,suats and swing snatches.they other stuff your doing with the medicine balls and strechy rope is very very limited,if you keep doing those your never going too advance in strength…
He is not leaning too far forward. His shoulders over his knees and toes.There is a flexion hinge at the end of the range which should be avoided and is discussed in the video. The core muscles main job is to prevent motion. Stability ball work is unstable so you must work to prevent spinal motion which works the core. There are numerous other core exercises in the video. Deadlifts/squats put high stress loads on the lumbar spine especially if done incorrectly.
Medicine ball exercises especially plyometric are excellent ways to develop power and strength. We do diagonal training with med balls, elastic bands and weights with pully. All can be great exercises. Any exercise can be dangerous if done incorrectly. Our DVD was developed to help any golfer with beginner exercises to advanced. Most of the exercises can be done at home with minimal equipment or can easliy be transferred to the gym where a variety of equipment is available. Thanks for posting.
OK, that was the worst overhead squat form I’ve ever seen. You definitely need a lot more shoulder flexibility. Work on that first.
The ball rollouts are a very good exercise to prepare you for ab wheel or barbell rollouts
And put some more energy in your execises. The girl didn’t “slam” the medicine ball, she just let it drop down.
I have very mixed feelings about this video.
Yeah I’m sorry but i’d have to agree, most of these aren’t great golf cond’g exercises. The overhead squats are done terribly due to bad thoracic extension and shoulder ROM. The dropped hips in the s’ball hamstring curls means there’s no co-contraction of the glute and hamstrings which will lead to faulty motor recruitment and potential injury to the hamstrings, and the med ball slams are badly done and not very sport specific.
They are very simple exercises to teach properly. You should do your research before trying to make money off people. At least get someone with a physiology or sport science background to help you develop a better product.
Sorry to disagree but some of the exercises may be easy to teach but there are small compensations people make during the exercisesthat I see every day and knowing how to prevent these is the important part. I have a degree in Movement & Sports Science from Purdue and a Physical Therapy Degree from the Univ of Illinois. My partner is an Athletic Trainer with a degree in Health And Physical Education
Your right-he does need improved thoracic extension and shoulder mobility. That doesnt mean he shouldnt be doing the exercise as it could help with both. If anything he should stop 10 degrees sooner to avoid a flexion hinge in the lumbar spine.Glute activation is a main part of the DVD-we discuss proper and improper techniques and how to tell the difference. Med ball slams are great core exercises and have good carryover for golf especially when done at a diagonal.
See above re: OH squat. We show different intensities and variations of exercises on the video as everyone will be at a different fitness level and experience with exercise. They can progress at their own pace by increasing intensity or changing exercises. Thanks for the post!
this is a joke
