The Golf Swing Speed Challenge (103) - First 3 Weeks In the first three weeks of this elite program you're going to be predominantly doing two things 1. Improving your flexibility through a range of motion 2. Increasing your strength You will also be doing a small amount of speed work. Over the next three weeks you will alternate daily between flexibility exercises and strength exercises. It is very important, however, that every 7 th day you have a day off from doing any exercises. To make this easy for you I suggest you start this elite program on a Monday. If you do that you'll do flexibility exercises on the Monday, strength exercises on the Tuesday, flexibility exercises on the Wednesday and so on until Sunday, which is when you should have a day off to rest. You ll notice that in the flexibility aspect of this program there are only dynamic exercises like in 102. As we said in 102 the reason for this is because once you have a certain amount of static flexibility, trying to further increase it will have very little impact on how fast you can swing a golf club. But like we said in 102, if you have the time then by all means do some static flexibility stretches. Especially if you have areas of your body that a susceptible to injury, e.g. lower back, shoulders etc. A good time to do some static stretching is between sets on the days when you're doing the strength exercises. At the end of the flexibility program you'll see that you are instructed to swing a driver 10 times. But this time we have changed the order of the swings. This is to keep things fresh so your body doesn t become accustomed to the same old routine and therefore not improve. As we have said all along, it is a good idea when doing these golf swings to use your swing speed measuring device to see how fast you're swinging. When you re doing this just try and beat your last swing speed result. That will keep you motivated and moving forward for that day. Take note that in the first 3 weeks of this program you WILL need access to a gym. When you do any exercise with weights you should use about 60-70% of your potential weight first. Then increase the weight for the second set to about 75-85% so that you can complete the set and feel like you could have completed about 15 reps instead of the 10. Then in the third set increase the weight so that by the end of the 10th repetition it is hard to complete the exercise while keeping good form. In this first 3 weeks you ll be trying to improve your strength so you need to keep trying to increase the weights you re using every time you workout. This may hurt your swing speed initially, but don t worry by the end of this 8 week period it will pay off. Remember when you re doing this program to do this tip to cut down the time it takes you to complete the program...
Tip: To get through the exercises faster do another exercise from a different body part while you re resting between sets. For example, you can do one set from the shoulder exercise section and while you re resting do an exercise from the hips section. To help you keep track of where you re at with this program I have included daily task sheets. So I suggest you print off this entire PDF so you can easily keep track of what you're doing. Flexibility/Strength Exercise Videos, Pictures And Descriptions In the private membership site of The Golf Swing Speed Challenge you ll find videos and descriptions of all the exercises in this program. To login to the private membership site simply go here http://www.golfswingspeedchallenge.com/login and enter your username and password to login. Once logged in then click on the 103 Elite link to get the videos and explanation. As with the 101 and 102 programs, remember that this is not a race. Start off slowly with the exercises to help you avoid injury. It's better to do too little than too much, especially when you re just starting and the exercises are new. If you have any injury spots on your body (e.g. back, knees etc.) make sure you listen to your body and don't do any exercises that you know will cause you problems. Please use common sense with this program. So there you go, print out this PDF if you haven't already and look over the daily tasks and exercises. Also, watch the videos of the exercises so you have a good idea of what you should be doing when you complete the exercises. Then complete the goal task sheet on the next page and then pick a day when you're going to start, and just do it. Complete one day at a time and before you know it you'll be hitting the ball longer than you thought possible! Good luck from all of us here on the Golf Swing Speed Challenge team. We can t wait to hear how much distance you ve gained by completing this 103 challenge.
