Does using golf carts compared to walking provide a competitive advantage in elite/ pro golf, or vice versa? https://t.co/lNmzizvDlJ via @DrChrisBishop @andrewhallortho et al

Single leg hip hinge

The ‘Hip hinge’ is a type of movement used to help generate power through the hips & develop the big posterior chain muscles. The same movement mechanics are used in many exercises such as the deadlift

It is a great movement pattern for people to perform & has many variations including this contralateral Kettlebell version shown by @DPWorldTour @PGATOUR & @RyderCupEurope pro @TommyFleetwood1 here this week @BMWPGA

NEW PUBLICATION

Great to have our latest paper published online. Superbly led by @lewisclarkegolf. Here is what we found (1/3)

⛳ Women, Golf & Breast Health – What We Know (and Don’t!) 🏌️‍♀️💡

Many women report dissatisfaction with sports bras.

[ETPI @Etpi]

If you want an idea of what a golfers S&C program should look like then you should look no further than what @DPWorldTour winner @grantforrest93 does.

Here is a snapshot of some of his training exercises over the years:

- Heavy Trapbar lifts ✅
- weighted jumps ✅
- RDL’s ✅
- heavy KB swings ✅
- speed stick work ✅
- trunk strength ✅

These are just a few of the key things he does along with squats, deadlifts, barbell chest press, shoulder presses, med ball slams & throws.

It didn’t happen overnight for Grant but has been a process he has been working on diligently for many years 👍🏼👏🏼💪🏼👌🏼
