And the one legged squats seriously improve balance and work your legs to the max. Plus one for the one legged squats. Boxing is very similar to golf because with the straight right you use serious pivot around a stationary post and a balanced body to deliver the extending right arm (#1 accumulator) you will guaranteed increase turning speed by doing hundreds of correctly performed straight rights, amp them up by putting small weights in your fists. I also agree bands and resistance training are actually very risky for golf it seems to put tons of strain on the muscles and golfers especially must be very careful not to strain the rotator cuff muscles and the knee and back muscles. Whip, i speak from experience and its amazing when you try anything like a 1 legged squat- you realise very quick what imbalances you have. dont use a barbell unless your doing lunges or step ups into a bench etc. for upper body exercises use dumbells and just like the lower body you can address imbalances immediatley. strenght trainers nowdays use the lastest fads when they are useless.....strenght training hasnt progressed in terms of structure but has so due to guys trying to hype it up x-man View Public Profile Send a private message to x-man Find all posts by x-man
