Tiger woods workout

[C_Money]

Ok so this maybe has been discussed before but i was wondering if anyone can tell me the workout of tiger woods? I am ready to take the next step in my game and I was wondering what he does. I am built kinda like him and I think his workout would be perfect for me. Can you please include all the stretches he does and everything else. Also if you want to include websites with workout and stretches please let me know cause i need to get more flexible. Thanks everyone

I don't think anyone is going to be able to tell you all or most of Tiger's workout as that is something he keeps pretty private.

[Swingtheclub]

I heard that his work out alone takes four hours

[C_Money]

I have heard 90 minutes, and well yeah longer as well. Ok well is there any info on it at all? how about just any other pros workout?

[Bay1524]

Well, we will never know everything Tiger does, but in the last few years, this is all I've been able to find.

 

Golf Digest tried to discover it a few years ago and this is what they found:

Then, Tiger spoke about it in Men's Fitness in an issue this past summer:

I've looked long and hard for it and that's all I've got! Hope it helps!

The upper body is your swing's engine. You have to keep it fine-tuned to maximize performance. I want mine operating on all cylinders in the heat of competition. Here are some recommended exercises to strengthen your upper back, shoulders, chest, arms and abs: Lat (latissimus dorsi) pulldowns for the upper back. Seated rows (a rowing motion from a seated position) for rotator cuffs. Overhead press for shoulders. Horizontal bench press, incline bench press and some type of fly for the chest. The last is a favorite of body builders and one that you should work your way up to. The exercise requires you to lie flat on a bench with dumbbells in each hand. Hold the dumbbells palms down, parallel to the bench. Extend them away from your body and, in an arching motion, bring them up until your hands touch above your chest. You must keep your elbows slightly bent. Don't lock them. Pushdowns, dips or overhead tricep extensions (any combination) for the triceps. Horizontal and vertical wrist curls for the forearms. Stand stomach crunch---you can do them anywhere and knee lifts up to your chest for the abs.

 

Just as form is an important element of the golf swing, it is also an important factor in weight training. Always maintain good form to get the desired results. Remember to start out moderately and exercise caution. Don't take on more than you can handle. Building up your muscle strength while you're young will help you maintain is as you get older. A health body and more powerful swing that lasts a lifetime will be your ultimate reward.

Training your muscles through the use of free weights or an exercise machine. I believe it necessary for a player to maximize his power and control. That's why I train every muscle, among them tris, bis, quads, pects and abs. Any workout routine must be regimented and consistent. You can't lift weights this week and not the next. It requires a real commitment to building a powerful body, toning it or whatever your overall goal might be. I lift three to five times a week. My preround routine is dedicated to my tee time. For example, I might eliminate weight lifting and concentrate more on the rest of workout for an early tee time. The key is to be loose, and fluid and in my natural rhythm prior to and during the round. I use different amounts of weight for different parts of my body, and I vary my reps. Of course, the heaviest weight is reserved for my legs, which are the strongest part of the body. I like to work with free weights because I can set my body in different angles and positions to work on different moves, plus they provide more range of movement. I can also work on stabilization muscles in particular areas better, but occasionally I'll use a machine when free weights arent available. To avoid pulling a muscle or straining myself, I always stretch before lifting and I never do heavy lifting without a spotter. Most physical fitness experts recommend working different body parts for different days. Since legs provide the foundation for a golf swing, I would recommend extensions, curls, presses, plus regular squats or hack squats. The last are probably the single most important exercise for building strong legs. They really work the quads, hamstrings, buttocks, lower back, and gluteus maximus. Its also a terrific exercise for developing overall stamina and strength. For the average person seeking to build and maintain muscle strength, I recommend two sets for each exercise.

[C_Money]

ok so core muscles?? What muscles are those and what exercise works that particular muscle?

[C_Money]

Anyone? I would really like to know so I can get on this.

[bladetp]

Core muscles include upper abs, middle abs, and lower abs and inner abs. Exercises: crunches, side bends, medicine ball twists, barbell twists, hanging or supported knee raises, reverse crunches, bicycle sit ups (begin by curl the upper and lower halves together all while rotating opposite shoulder to leg and repeat for other side), planks and side planks (hold these for 20 counts), also another way to work these is by inhaling then exhaling all the air out of the body, while the air is out suck in your naval towards the spine hold for 10-20 count, a variation is to do the same while lying on your back and while doing crunches)

 

Core muscles: Mid and lower back exercises: back extensions, supermans (lay facing down on your stomach arms in front palms down, legs straight down, in one movement raise your arms and legs off the ground while keeping your stomach and abs centered and tight hold for a 5 count, can be done raising opposite leg and arm), dead lifts

 

Core muscles: Quads, hams, glutes exercises: squats, front squats (bar resting on the front part of shoulders and chest), leg extensions, lying leg curls, step ups, lunges, dead lifts

 

For strength 2-3 sets 5-6 reps, to maintain 3-5 sets 10-15, to lose some extra weight and build muscle 3-5 sets 8-12 reps all while keeping rest periods short(less than 1 min) building muscle will always burn fat resulting in lean muscle mass

 

If it helps or means anything i majored in kinesiology at UT so feel free to ask and such hope this some what helps

 

(sorry for any gramar mistakes...not an english major :) )

If you have the Golf Channel, watch "Golf Fitness." They have shown the workouts of a lot of pros (best ones I recall were Villegas and Quigley) on there (not including Tiger). What you will learn is that half of their time in the gym is stretching before, during, and after reps. From what I have heard this is also true of Tiger and his father said at one time that his "secret" is his flexibility.

Ok so my workout now is on monday doing all my chest excercises, then tuesday is biceps and triceps, then wednesday is shoulders, thursday is kinda a break and run a lot, friday is back, saturday is legs. I ride a exercise bike 30min to 1 hour everyday and do abs and pushups everyday as well. So do you think this workout is good? It pretty much works all those muscles. Tell me what you think

Build on your existed workout: 30 min bike, full abs/core, everyday.

Odd days: upper body.

Even days: lower body.

Weekends: rest and play.

Everyday: stretch, eat well, sleep a lot.

 

Cheers,

Tim

I do the bike and abs everyday now, once I figure out the stretches to do i will throw those in as well. I have heard that doing the odd day thing is good, but it just seems like it would be a lot and I have also heard that the different thing everyday is good. What do you guys think is better

[Gstv]

Why are you working out your abs everyday?

 

The rectus abdominalis (the abs) is like every other muscle and need to rest about 48 huors before you attack them again. And always with resistance and not doing 50 situps over 4 sets or even more. (not sure if YOU do this, but many other i've heard workout thier abs everyday do this)

 

Do the abs in the gym one or two days/week like any other muscle and with less than 15 reps. The push-ups is kind of useless too. Maybe you get some more endurance (not sure about the english word for this...)

 

 

 

I have got better results with a half body split (upper, lower rest, repetat) than with 4- or 5-splits, but i guess that's different between individuals. Use some variation and try other splits and see what's works best.

hey dude try out coreperformance.com. They have a golf workout that is used by tom lehman and some other pro golfers. It focuses just on what you need, and gives you a 5 day 90 minute workout including stretching. I've used it for a while and it works great. You get a week trial but then you have to pay...
