00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
This video is band-resisted sequence training.

00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,000
So many golfers tend to get armsy, right?

00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
You tend to create more of your speed and power with pulling the arms down.

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000
And so oftentimes, using a band or using a little bit of extra resistance can help you

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,000
activate different parts of your body.

00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,000
What we're going to do with this is we're going to use it to help activate more of

00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
our chest or our hips.

00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
So we're going to get our body moving around as opposed to using your arms.

00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:38,000
So we're going to start with the hips and then we'll move on to the body or the upper body.

00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:45,000
But the general philosophy here is I'm going to create a little bit of rotation around

00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,000
my body.

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,000
So I'm going to take a band and I've got it attached to a chair with some weights on it.

00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,000
You can attach it to the door, just something pretty stable or golf cart if you're

00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,000
out on the range.

00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
And then I'm going to reach behind my back with my trail arms.

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
So I'm going to use my right arm to grab it.

00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Now I've got it pulled across my hips just like so.

00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Now putting my arms out in front of my body, I'm going to practice using my hips against

00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:19,000
a little bit of rotation or against a little bit of resistance to bring my hands through.

00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,000
If you're used to just bringing your arms through, you can see you're not going to get

00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,000
any real feeling of movement up against the club or sorry with the hips.

00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:35,000
So then it is possible if you take the time and you set this up that you could do some

00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:41,000
little nine to three's feeling like the lower body is leading.

00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,000
It's harder to do than nine to three with the upper body drill, but you can do it for

00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,000
getting the lower body more involved.

00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:54,000
And I like to do it with a weaker cable, pulled it about belt height just like so.

00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,000
If you're training in the gym, you want to do both sides and you can use a cable machine

00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,000
instead of a rubber band that was just as well.

00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:09,000
So now trying to get more of the upper body involved, I'm going to wrap it around just

00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:16,000
a little bit tighter so that I can grab onto it with my right arm kind of like this.

00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Now I like to have enough slack so that my elbow is just ahead of my body as opposed to

00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
being behind kind of like this.

00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
So now that elbow is going to be just ahead of my body and the left arm is kind of

00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,000
over here.

00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:39,000
And now I'm going to turn and rotate my upper body and my lower body so that my whole

00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:45,000
body, my abs and my hips are moving my arms into position.

00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:52,000
So this gets used to moving the arms by moving the body instead of moving the arms by moving

00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,000
the shoulders.

00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Because what most golfers are doing is they're positioning their body so that when they

00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:04,000
move their arms by the shoulders that that gets the club down where they wanted an impact.

00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,000
But that's using a small percentage of what your body is capable and it makes it really

00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:15,000
hard to get a shallow flat spot which is really critical for the longer clubs.

00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,000
So use this band or resisted activation at home if you're struggling or if you're working

00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:26,000
on fine tuning your lower body and your core activation it can be really helpful for working

00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,000
on your overall pivot.
