Great routine. What are your thoughts on weighted exercises? Typical weight training type stuff. Also, regarding the amount of effort/how heavy golfers should be lifting (i.e. what level of perceived effort? 50%, 65% 75% or 85%…of max?). It’d be great to see a strength training routine for golfers for increasing swing speed, stability, flexibility/range of motion and overall performance.
It’s all to come 👍
Stability – strength – power…in that order. All of those percentages can be applicable to a golfer’s training plan depending on the goal at the time. Traditional barbell / dumbbell exercises have their place also. Movements don’t always have to look “golfish” to provide benefits.
@Arkade Perfect absolutely. What I’d like to see is what Marcus thinks regarding how heavy to lift and programming. I find it challenging to stay loose in my swing the day after a night of heavy back squats. I switched to front squats and, due to the lighter weight and different range of motion, I’ve found it helped. Just curious to see something like off season and during season lifting program.
Great Vlog Marcus. Looking forward to come up to you for the golf first, then onto conditioning. 👍
stuff that, stick with my spikes balls and rocker board.
😂
What u think mike malaska,cheers
Bet the next day he had muscles hurting that he didn’t know he had.
😂😂 😂
I wont wait till tomorrow to start some of it at home. Super stuff. Congratulations for posting something so valuable and focused. I am confident it will help a great deal.
Marcus. Robin. If you weren’t across the ocean I’d literally slap 👋 you guys senseless. You guys should be relaxing with a booming business. I’m in Florida and I’ve bought all your videos. I have all your balance tools. I went from not even bothering to keep score to breaking 100 instantly. Florida is a Mecca for golf all year round. Anyways I can go on and on here. EXPAND. GO FOR IT. YOU WILL NOT LOSE.
Wow, thanks man, awesome to hear it’s helped you so much. Coming over to the States is definitely on the radar 👍
ZEN Golf Mechanic Do make a video when you are coming. I’m taking one of my vacation weeks and heading wherever your going. 💯 Pencil me in.
@MarkyRizzo Will do 👍
It’s ok swinging faster but can you control the swing mechanics and club face control ‚also it’s down to bodies natural rhythm some people have natural speed with faster reactions.
Thanks, yes I agree with you but we’re not trying to influence that specifically. That’s just one of several gains. Some people have a slower rhythm and some faster, that’s not in question. It’s important that the player uses their own signature style. This is a discovery session and there’s no intention of trying to get him to swing faster. We do several other performance tests as well. He wants to explore his movement and develop the potential he already possesses. You don’t know how your body will respond until you challenge it and explore your potential. It’s not always about expanding your ranges of motion, it is also about exploring the ranges you already have. The increase in speed was just a by product and not the sole purpose for the session. A lot of people I see have limited movement maps but still have potential within their existing ranges of motion that they haven’t explored due to body awareness. Once the body knows potential is there it now has the opportunity to use it. It’s like the golf lessons, I’m not always increasing range, in fact most often we don’t increase range but heighten self awareness so you can use what you’ve got even better. That’s not necessarily for speed, most people come with a slice and leave with a draw so that’s swing and club face awareness.
If swing speed does happen to increase with training then you have the opportunity to dial down your speed to control it further. Most tour players aren’t swinging at 100% for a reason, control. If you watch a lot of amateurs they’re trying to hit the ball and swing too hard. Once they realise there’s speed available with less effort things change dramatically. There’s more to this session than meets the eye. It’s more about switching on the senses, proprioception, balance, co-ordination etc to expand movement maps within the existing constraints and explore new space if the potential is there.
It’s always geared towards the players needs and requirements. Nathan was also concerned about potential injury in the future. He has high clubhead speed and restrictions in some critical segments of his body which may predispose him to injury in the future so that is also a major element and focus of what we do. Thanks for your comment 👍
Memo to self; when doing the initial stretch with the band across the chest, “wear a top”. I managed to pull out at least 20 chest hairs with the first attempt!!!! Ouch!!!!!!!
PS Wow, that was an awesome stretching/conditioning routine, that I definitely need to add into my fitness régime
PPS What are your views on the 5 Tibetans? I have practised them daily for years that they really help my flexibility & mobility
😂😂😂 yeah can’t fault the 5 Tibetans. They’re great stretches 👍
This gentleman can’t touch his toes, but easily hits 125mph. Imagine when he improves mobility 😳
I do practically 99% of these exercises in my pilates classes… 👍
great vid just what i’ve been looking for not sure how your channel has so little subs hope you blow up soon thanks
Great Training video, thank you for sharing this in depth exercises. I would love to see the results after 6–8 weeks etc. I wonder what Nathan will be capable off, when his lower body stability increases. At that tremendous swing speed, not being able to touch toes or keep the body stable when jumping sideways gives loads of room to improve.
Keep up the great work.
P.s. Would you see a benefit of incorporating a vibro-plate in the initial Theraband stretches? If not, would you be able to share a few exercises with with vibro-plate?
Cheers and all the best,
Holger
Not knocking strength n conditioning training,apart from resistance bands the 2 gym exercises i would recommend are Kettle Bends and Facepulls! But one of the major differences between Golf and other sports Ive played is that most of the time you are inactive! ie it is at least 5 mins between shots which is why driving range golf is completely different to competitive golf.I could whistle dixie at the top of my backswing and still hit a great strike on the range because Im warmed up and more importantly my athletic ability and hand eye co-ordination is at its peak.
Kettle Bells!
Absolutely, can’t argue with that. This is just a small element of our training and is really a preparation program to be undertaken for 4 weeks before we move onto more weight bearing/resistance exercises using kettlebells etc. You’ll be seeing more programs which can be adapted specifically to the needs of the player. It would be potentially dangerous and possibly ineffective in our eyes to start training with kettlebells before any preparatory program has been put in place first, to develop foundations for the body to perform weight training exercises.
@ZEN Golf Mechanic Maybe Im lucky because I did a lot of strength and conditioning in my youth or maybe lugging 250lbs around for the last few years has helped! But I was able pretty much to go straight into 6–10 reps heavy compound moves (squat,bench press etc) a cpl of years ago 3 times a week.Like you say after Id strengthened up Ive done more dynamic stuff like Kettlebells. Im 60 yrs old striking the ball better than ever and was expecting to lower my 5 hcp this year! So you seniors out there get going on this stuff and dont be frightened of heavy weights if you’re taught the right technique (use a smiths machine for safety) . We need all the strength we can get at our age!
Very cool video.
It’s not how far you hit it is how good towards the target you hit it this zen golf zen rubbish just to impress the ignorant if you know how to swing the club head you can enjoy the game look for Ernest Jones who competed on one leg
Absolutely agree 👍 Ernest Jones was an unbelievable talent and inspiration as a player and also coach. ZEN is not just about hitting it further. It’s all relative and specific to the individual. This is just one video of a particular session in training. It doesn’t define our whole philosophy. You only have to look at all the other videos on the channel to see it’s about optimising the individual to achieve their own personal goals and ambition. Ball flight control is a very common theme. As a side note, I teach the world number 7 disabled golfer who has Cerebral Palsy and he’s off scratch so it’s possible to play outstanding golf when physically impaired.
Just plain rude.
@Wdp well said.
Would love if you guys could post up the routine along with the reps. I plan on giving this a go for the next 6 weeks.
Beware the COVID hotbed Marcus 🤢
Thanks John, this was filmed in the winter quite a while before Covid came around and lockdown.
I was referring to the Florida suggestion Marcus .🤔
Sorry John, my misunderstanding 👍
I just don’t want you to take a chance going over there anytime soon .
Thanks John, really appreciate your concern 👍
This morning my back was very stiff and sore. Doing your routines just helps back. Another plug golf = life
is there any Zen teachers in orlando florida?
Sorry it’s a system I’ve developed myself and I’ve only got 3 guys under my mentorship in training at the moment who work closely with me at my base. This isn’t a teaching system that other coaches can become certified in unless they are on my own personal mentorship programs.
Goes to show you can’t judge a book by it’s cover. Looking at Nathan who looks very athletic and fairly lean he doesn’t have the flexibility of Pete who is short and stocky. It would be interesting to see how Nathan does after a month of this training.
Marcus, I have to tell you thank you for sharing your instruction. I haven’t started doing this full routine but after watching the previous video demonstrating the use of Therabands and warming up the shoulders I started doing that simple warm up every day. At age 70 I’m in decent shape. This however has cured my stiff neck and shoulder issues. At first I couldn’t do more than one of the leg balancing exercises at a time as I’d lose my balance. Now I can do 5 or more in a row and I feel much stronger in the feet, ankles and legs. And my golf game is improving from your teaching methods. My last round I hit more fairways and greens than ever!
Awesome 💪
Thanks so much for posting this! My feeds are full of ads trying to sell me golf workouts for big money. Nice to get world class routines for nothing.
I just went out and purchased a band. Thanks!
what type of band is this.….I know the thicker bands used in weight training, but what are these called or do you have a link.
Im confident this can change my golfing life. Super , thanks
This student needs to practice yoga
at 25, my ss was 151 only when swinging freely and NOT addressing a golf ball. Addressing a ball I could get no higher than 142. At 50, it is still 125 when swinging at a golf ball but I still do not know how to use the ground forces properly so there is still speed there. SOOO Frustrated. Do you guys have a place to send a vid of my swing?
Sorry there’s no online coaching available at the moment but hopefully some format soon.
Tried the thing for lower back… game changer, felt so much better afterwards – Cheers!!
Love you and you’re training. And reaching
Honestly
Shorten the talking and the videos
Don’t say things 10 times 🙂
Can you please share the name of the French person for the lower back stretching and the spelling on the exercise. Thanks
Eldoa
Doing all this is all well and good but it wont necessarily make you a better player. Short game, putting, course management and guts are what you need.
Totally agree, this is just one element of the game . Don’t have to train but it can help 👍
Buying longer socks so I think I’m almost touching toes. Love the statement you could be losing distance due to flexibility and Nathan is swinging at 125mph. Really enjoyable to watch someone suffer thru training. How tall is Nathan?
Hope you do something about the sound in your videos in the future – the sound quality is poor in most of your videos.
Just a little constructive criticism, not intended to disparage.
