Trig, And so you have mastered the 'hardest' part of getting a better balance of hamstring support for your game, getting started. And I'll add that 85 percent of the people I work with cannot master this, seemingly, simple posture. I would suggest, if I may, that you start this new focus once a day but after a few days of implementation you start doing it twice and even a third time; that is if you want to see faster results. The simple fact is that your hamstrings are supporting you based on the only information they are receiving. So if you want them to positively adapt to a new agreement with your hips and torso then you have to give them more frequent requests to comply with your new desire. The protocol I suggested is very frustrating because the changes happen slower than we expect from our exercise efforts. But I promise it will work. Now, since I am being bossy, I would also suggest you do some work with your upper body including the shoulder stretches and torso twist and definitely some of the lat work that we've posted on other threads. Your lats are the primary stabilizer for your back and attach at the hip, the lower thorasic vertebrae and lower ribs and then to the front of your arm. There is a major relationship between the lats and the hamstrings in keeping your hips under control during your golf efforts and just walking around. Yes, here I go again, You can and should focus your attention to isolation but your program must include an interest in addapting the rest of the body to this new structural function. As I've said a hundred times, it really is all connected.

Will be back online on Monday. Merry, merry, Vik
