The Chicago Golf Trainer Knows Principles of Weight Training

The principles of weight training are that building strength via weight systems will also build skill. The first principle of weight training is one that should never be overlooked, although many people try to. By skipping the first principle in weight training you are much more likely to suffer injuries either during the training itself, or in a game.

Stretching and warming up is the first principle of weight training. It is exceptionally important to allow the muscles in the body to become accustomed to being used before stressing them out. By giving your muscles time to warm up you are much less likely to pull a muscle.

Most people that injure themselves while weight training will admit they did not properly warm up and stretch out prior to beginning their weight lifting program. When a muscle is immediately expected to support a large amount of weight it becomes strained and can be pulled. By allowing muscles the time they need to slowly stretch out, the risk of damage to the muscle is significantly decreased.

Other principles of weight training include having respect for the weight-training program. When using a weight-training regime, be sure to always have a spotter when a spotter is needed, and be sure to only do weight training that has proven to increase the ability to be a good golfer. A Chicago golf trainer can warn one of the dangers of building bulky muscles that make one awkward during a game when weight training is not done properly.

Phases of Weight Training

The first phase of weight training can begin in the fall time and should be done two to three times a week for about two months. This phase involves setting up a routine of exercises done in a row with short thirty-second breaks between activities. These activities are completed to develop the beginning fitness program. You will begin to strengthen muscles which as your Chicago golf trainer can tell you is important.

The exercises themselves can include push-ups, barbell workouts, crunches, pull-ups, squat thrusts, and work done with dumbbells. These exercises should be done continually and then the entire set should be repeated after about three minutes break. The idea behind these exercises is to make your body used to working out in a variety of ways.

Once your body becomes used to working out, you can begin phase two, which is specifically aimed at golfing abilities. This is done for about six weeks directly after finishing phase one and should also be done two to three times a week. The routine is quite similar to the last routine, except each exercise should be increased in frequency and difficulty.

Phase three is done during the remainder of the year until phase one repeats. In phase three, you will regularly exercise to keep the body fit. A Chicago golf trainer can tell you that phase three is important for keeping your body in good shape during the off-season of training and maintaining everything you have worked so hard to accomplish. This is done one or two times a week, with exercises similar to phase one.
