Since the magnificent loading posture of the golf form assertion creates an anterior rotation, I find that there exists a loss of flexibility in the shoulder family that creates havoc if you force the relationship in a compound movement as profound as a squat. [Take a breath.] As always, this is individual to every 'body'. While I have no shoulder symptoms (even though you would be amazed at my X-rays since I was born with some level of scoliosis) I determine my weight distribution (position of the resistance, i.e. weight) according to the activities of the seasonal activity. It can be as easy or as complicated as you desire, based on your commitment to your objective. Ahh Shucks, I do go on . . . Vik Last edited by Vickie : 03-07-2009 at 05:36 PM.
