good article but jazzed up for no apparant reason. resistant bands are fine but why not dumbells? why do overall exercises instead of lower body vs upper body?

we all agree that golf is a series of specific movements harmonised into a complete total movement but it causes imbalances which have to be addressed. the reason for using dumbells rather than a barbell is that a dumbell will address imbalances. rather than doing squats do single legged squats as you will identify imbalances straight away.

** last but not least- plyrometrics!!!! stay a mile away from theses execises for a golfer. these exercises are really advanced and were used heavily by russian in track and field and advanced to other sports. a golfer is looking for trouble doing such as plyrometrics due to the fact that the stresses involved especially on the knee and especially achilles tendons just aint worth it. plyrometrics are all about ground contact and explosiveness which is more applied to downtime sports such as sprinting/powerlifting or any jumping sport ie- basketball etc etc
