Juniors Conditioning


Recommended Posts

At what age are you folks letting your kids start strength conditioning? Also what type of weights and exercises did you start them out on? My son is 12 and has hit several big growth spurts and hit puberty about 3 months ago and figured it was time to start some strength training leading up to playing golf for the HS in 7th grade.

I wish I would have started a program at 11. If you are looking for something try this guy out. I can't stress enough how good he is.

We started my son out at the age of 13 and as Heavy mentioned above, wish we would’ve done it sooner. He works with a TPI certified trainer doing both TPI and strength related/athletic movements. This instructor also works with a number of other athletes in football, swimming, basketball all in the junior high and high school range (one of his first clients played Football at a SEC school and is now in the NFL). I came across him as he helped me rehab a pretty severe back injury and since my Son has been working out directly him he has shown huge gains both in driving distance and just overall athletic ability on the golf course, and the basketball court.

Be careful what you wish for in regards to starting a fitness regimen LOL. Started at home with simple crunches, pushups, and underhand pullups when 11 yo. Built up from only being able to do 3 pushups and 1 pullup. Added TPI core workouts/functional training, 1-2 times/month about 9 months ago.

Went from USKG 63” TS3 steel, to adult heads with 110g stiff steel shafts, in one year.

Gained over 15 lbs of muscle @ 7% bodyfat. Now, works out for 20 minutes before tourneys because he heard interviews on TV and most of the pros do some sort of workout, pre-round. It’s a great lifestyle habit to engrain.

Unless he is going to be an Olympic lifter.

That's sad! Poor form can lead to injury.

 

"The most dangerous mistake on the Deadlift is to pull with a bent lower back. This puts uneven pressure on your spinal discs and can cause bulged discs, pinched nerves and other back injuries. Don't Deadlift heavy with a rounded lower back."
