Resistance Training for Golf - Paperback

by Chris Lutz (Author)

Golf can be an incredibly fun, challenging, and also frustrating game. It's so challenging, most will never master it. It is interesting in that it requires a unique combination of strength, power, accuracy, and a soft touch. Some may think that it is a lazy man's game, but nothing could be further from the truth. 2 major issues immediately arise when assessing what is needed for golf fitness: 1. Increased strength and power development. 2. Injury prevention especially concerning the lower back. Golf can be a high force damaging activity to many of the body's mid-section tissues. It is critical that we specifically address and train these areas safely and effectively so that you can continue to enjoy the game in the long term. The 8 weeks of routines contained in this book will do just that. This program also includes: The biggest mistakes NOT to make when training for golf.

You will then take those improvements onto the course or the range with your equipment to improve your individual and specific skills.
