Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm chick on what's going on? Everybody, Welcome to the
golf in this bomb squad. I'm your host, Chris Finn,
and we are going to be talking about warm ups today.
I just had my first warm up on Twitter live.
(00:21):
We are now on Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn, So just
like when you go to the golf course, you want
to make sure you warm up. I figured before we
went live on three platforms, we'd warm up on one.
So excited to get into this podcast today. Just in
case you guys aren't aware, we're starting to do a
lot of these live, so definitely be following on our
social media across all of our pages, YouTube, YouTube, LinkedIn,
(00:43):
x Instagram, both myself mister Fantastic P for S but
also P for S Golf. That way, you guys will
know when we're going live, so you can participate, put
out questions in the live chat that we have going on,
and be a part of the show. This is what
I'm the most excited for as we're doing these is
that getting to get you guys questions and kind of
addressed them live for everyone. Because if you have that question,
(01:03):
I guarantee you there's at least one other person who
has that question as well. So let's talk about the
big three misconceptions when it comes to warm ups and golf.
These I wouldn't say they infuriate or make me mad.
I think I think some of the misconceptions around strength
training make me mad. The ones around warm ups make
me giggle because it's just funny some of the stuff
that's out there when it comes to warming up. The
(01:25):
first one is that static stretching is the way to go.
Our calus tennis class back in grade school, the gym
teacher was right, and that's what we should do, and
it couldn't be farther from the truth. So it actually was.
It was a really cool study that was done on
golfers that I've talked about this a number of times before,
but basically what the study did is that took you know,
(01:46):
let's say, let's just use round numbers, you know, thirty golfers.
I forget the exact number, but thirty golfers went out
and to hit golf balls let's say today, right, and
they all just you know, they just hit golf balls.
They tracked their club at speech. Then they came back
tomorrow next day and they split thirty golfers, and remember
these are made up numbers. I'm just using this for
ease and math into three groups. So like ten golfers
(02:07):
did the same thing they did yesterday, right, just these
one hip balls. The next ten golfers did static stretching,
so you know, bend down, touch your toes, hold it
for thirty seconds, you know, just your your basic you know,
get into a position, pull the arm across your chest,
hold it thirty second, switch to the other side. Right.
The third group did a soft tissue warm up, so
(02:27):
they foam rolled, you know, think lacrosse balls, softballs. So
they did tissue work, and then they went and did
a dynamic warm up, so multifaceted, you know, multi joint, right,
so think of like a lunge with a twist, a
squat you know, that's moving your you know, maybe they
had a band you know, and they would rotate when
they squatted, or you know, even just a squat in
itself as multi joint because you got your knees, your hips,
(02:49):
your ankles, everything's moving. And obviously the goal of a
warm up, right, so this would be that the hint
of which group did the best. The goal of the
warm up is to increase your internal body temperature, because
muscles are like silly putty, and if they are warm,
they are more flexible, they're more appliable. If you put
silly putty in the freezer, it ain't gonna stretch. So
(03:11):
our muscles are very similar in that way. So the
warmer we can get our internal body temperature, the more
loose we are going to be. And anybody who has
played in forty five and raining and then gone and
played in eighty five and sunny knows you feel way
looser in eighty five and sonny. That's because just the
environment's warmer, So your internal temperature is gonna be like
(03:31):
the muscles will be warmer, looser, more naturally. So interesting
results from the study is the group that did the
same thing both days just hip holls. Obviously they stayed
the same. The group that did static stretching actually swung
the golf club slower than if they just hit golf
balls to warm up. And the group that did the
tissue work in the dynamic warm up actually went faster
(03:54):
than hitting golf balls. So warming up the correct way
actually directly impacts your cliphead speed, which so it's just
to me, it just I just kind of laugh whenever
somebody's like, oh, I gotta go stretch before I play. Now,
if you do tissue work, dynamic warm up, and then
you want to do a couple of static stretches just
because it feels good, by all means there's nothing wrong
(04:14):
with that, because you've done the prep work of what
actually is going to help you play better first. So
that's the first big misconception that I wanted to touch on,
you know, for all of you guys. The second is
that hitting golf balls is the full warm up competitively,
all of anybody who's watched a professional warm up, like
you have a routine, there's specific like way that you
(04:35):
go through the bag to warm up, and and but
I think the key is you're warming up to play.
You're not warming your body up. There's a warm up
that happens before the warm up, right, So that study
I was talking about, doing the dynamic warm up, doing
the tissue work, those are the things that should happen
before your full swing warm up because that gets the
(04:56):
body ready to perform. You then go and you do
the full swing warm up. That's getting a feel for word,
you know, the bottom of the swing today for just tempo.
You're just trying to kind of get in the groove
of getting the feel of, you know, of your swing
for that day and seeing you know, is the ball
fading today, is it drawing today? You know? And you're
getting ready to play. Your body's already ready. And I
(05:17):
think there's oftentimes a confusion or a mix up between
warming up your body and warming up to play. Those
are two very different things. And the fact of the
matter is if you don't warm your body up before
you go to warm up to play, well, then you're
essentially trying to do two things at once. Your body's
attempting to increase its internal temperature warm up while you're
also trying to get ready to play. And guess what
(05:40):
if your ice cold those and when you've all taken
all of us sculfers have done this, you show up,
you don't get a warm up in you roll out
of the car to the first t like it takes
you three holes before you find where the bottom of
the swing is today, right like your your first swings
are not going to be consistent. So when you're trying
to play good golf, obviously having your body ready to go.
(06:03):
So then when you do start swinging. Your bodies moving
the same every time is going to make you perform
at a higher level, much more consistently, versus if you
come out you just start whacking balls, your body's ice cold,
your body's moving differently every single time, which means you're
gonna hit the golf ball differently every single time, which
means you're not actually warming up to play. You could
(06:23):
actually make an argument that you're making it harder to
play well because the swing feels different, literally on every
single swing, and so it takes you longer to find
that quote unquote groove or that zone. So step one
that we need to kind of clear up todays. Static
stretching definitely not the way to go when it comes
to a warming up in isolation. You can integrate it
if you'd like, but there definitely needs to be tissue
(06:44):
work and dynamic warm ups. Second, if you're hitting balls
for your warm up, sure, but know that that's your
warm up to play, that's not your body warm up.
There needs to be a physical warm up prior to
that for optimal performance. And then let's get to the
This is probably my favorite, and it's that the warm
up should be exactly the same every single day. Right,
(07:07):
So there's a couple of factors here. Let's let's dive
into it. First is let's talk about person to person,
So me too, you know, we have we got Caleb
and Andrew in here with me today. Like Caleb, Andrew
and myself should all have three different workouts or warm
ups before we go play. Obviously, our workouts are gonna
be different in the gym because we have different needs.
Work warm ups are going to be no different. Right,
(07:28):
So let's say I have bad hips. Let's say Andrew's
shoulders aren't great and Caleb's th trassic spines, you know,
not great? Right, Well, then my warm up should be
focused more on hip work. Caleb is going to be
focused more on thorstic work. Right. Whatever those differences that
you have are, that's where your focuses should be when
it comes to the physical warm up. I'm gonna need
(07:50):
to spend a lot more time on my hips to
get them working consistently and where I need them to
be in the golf swing than Caleb will. But Caleb's
going to need to spend way more time on this
thoracic spine when I have I already turned seventy degrees
both ways. No need to work on that for me, Like,
I'm good, right, But at the end of the day,
all three of us want to arrive at that tea
(08:10):
to warm up for the for play with our bodies
in the same spot where we're ready to go, our
bodies as prepped as it can be, to be as
consistent as it can be. So that's that's like the
first part of this. The second part of this is like,
do I need to warm up the same way every
single time I go out and play? And this brings
(08:31):
in the importance of assessing consistently and knowing where you're
at and not guessing. So we have the home assessment,
which is by far and away the greatest tool for
any golfer out there to understand their body. I'm sure
we'll put it in the show notes a link to
it if anybody wants it. But I retest myself every
two weeks. We retest all of our clients every two
weeks because the body changes that quickly. Right. If we
(08:53):
have we've had clients who they got to they have
to go to Asia for a week, right, Well, when
they're on a plane that long, traveling that much when
they get back, their body is different than when they left.
And so that warm up for that guy today when
he gets off the airplane likely is going to have
to be different than before before he went on on
that long trip. And it's no different for myself or
(09:14):
for any of you guys. So as your body changes,
your workout and your warm up. Your workouts obviously and
also your warm ups need to evolve with that. If
your hips, you start out doing a program and your
hips suck, well, then your warm ups are obviously should
be focused pre round a lot of the hips hip work. Now,
let's say you clean up the hips and they're really
really good, and you know eight weeks later, well, now
maybe your warm up is more balanced, or maybe you
(09:37):
know now hips are actually the best part of you
and your shoulders are lagging, So maybe there needs to
be a little bit more work on the shoulder. Maybe
you're struggling with being steep and coming over the top.
Therefore you need to spend more time on your trail
right shoulder and even on your lead. That's if you're
right in a player, your trail right shoulder and your
lead left hip right, it'd be flipped. If you're a
lefty right, so that's where you There may even be
(09:58):
specific warm up focus that you're working on based on
what you're attempting to do in the golf swing. So
and this is a kind of a I like, this
is probably my favorite of the three kind of misconceptions
that are out there, because there's not only a discussion
to be had about you today versus you tomorrow versus
you in six months, and how does that warm up
(10:18):
need to evolve and change with you, but there's also
discussion around me versus the next guy to me on
the range. And there's veriability there as well too. And
at the end of the day, unless we're assessing, we're
just guessing. So it just I can't stress this enough.
The biggest gift that I can ever give to any
of you listening right now is that you guys really
(10:39):
take the assessment, understand where you're at and kind of
how to do it. We got a from grid Iron here.
We actually got questions. This is awesome. What's your favorite
hip warm up exercise if you could only pick one
before you play around? So this is actually, uh, it's
actually a loaded question. I don't know if you know that,
but it would depend on how I'm feeling that day.
So if I can only pick one, and I did
(11:01):
heavy squads on deadlifts yesterday and I feel like my
tissue is tight, I'm gonna get on to the crossball
and I'm gonna go up into Actually, you guys can
see me here. I'm gonna get up into my sof
This is kind of my hip pocket, my bone, and
my kind of greater trail cancer my hip bones right there.
I'm gonna come up behind it up in like beltline level,
and I'm going hard on my glut mead because I
(11:22):
know for me, this is where understanding your body. For me,
and honestly for most people this is pretty applicable. That
area will get locked and if that gets locked down,
then your interrol rotation and your hip is gonna get
locked down. So you're actually gonna have decreased ability to
rot into your trail side and into your lead side. Now,
if I didn't lift heavy yesterday, and you know, I'm
just coming in feeling pretty good, and then my favorite
hip exercise is probably gonna be a ninety ninety. So
(11:44):
I'm gonna be sitting on the ground, so I'm with
my feet up. Actually, well, I'll just try to talk loud.
I'll show you guys. I'm live here, So I'm coming
down on the ground here, and I'm just gonna drop
my knees down side to side, right, so I'm going
back and full right. If I'm really tired, I could
put my hands behind right. It makes it a little
bit easier going back and forth right. But the more
(12:07):
advanced would be having my hands up and I'm dropping
my knees down, trying to keep my shoulders square squared
up front. So those would be my two. It's a great,
great question. But if I have to only pick one
and I don't feel like I lifted heavy or have
tightness in my hips, I'm going Look, I'm going with
the ninety ninety. If I did lift heavy yesterday and
(12:28):
I feel like that tissue is kind of locked down
one hundred percent, I'm going to the la crosseball. I'm
going up into that glute meat. The other air I'd
probably go would be the TfL, which would be the
you know, the muscle. It's kind of in the front
of the hip, kind of under the hip pocket here.
So if you're sitting in a chair listening right now,
maybe you're driving, you basically would put like your thumbs
(12:49):
like just in your hip pockets. And that's that muscle
right on the top of your thigh just inside the
that hip bone. That and the glut meter the two
that get really locked down that will actually limit your
and troll rotation. So great question, dude, that was awesome.
So that's what I had for today, guys. Those are
the big three misconceptions that static stretching, doing it in
(13:10):
isolation waste time. Please piled it in with other things,
particularly the dynamic warm ups and tissue work. Just showed
you guys too, for those of you watching live and
then you got hitting golf balls. Is the warm up
to play? That is not the warm up for your body.
There needs to be a warm up that you do
for your body prior and then that your warm up
really needs to change and modify every time that you
go out if your body has changed. And that's the
(13:32):
value of that home assessment, which you know, We'll make
sure we throw that link in the show notes so
that if you guys want to grab that, see where
your body's at today, make your work out, figure out
what you need to do, you know, redo it every
couple of weeks and as your body changes, change the work,
change the warm up. So thanks as always for hanging
out with me here on the Bomb Squad, and also
for all of you guys live, Thanks for the for
hanging out and thanks for the questions and definitely be
(13:52):
checking out. Socials will be announcing when we're doing more
of these live events as we go, so thanks always
for hanging out with me here on the Golfing's Bomb Squad.

I'm chick on what's going on? Everybody, Welcome to the
golf in this bomb squad. I'm your host, Chris Finn,
and we are going to be talking about warm ups today.
I just had my first warm up on Twitter live.

get them working consistently and where I need them to
be in the golf swing than Caleb will. But Caleb's
going to need to spend way more time on this
thoracic spine when I have I already turned seventy degrees
both ways. No need to work on that for me, Like,
I'm good, right, But at the end of the day,
all three of us want to arrive at that tea
(08:10):
to warm up for the for play with our bodies
in the same spot where we're ready to go, our

which is by far and away the greatest tool for
any golfer out there to understand their body. I'm sure
we'll put it in the show notes a link to
it if anybody wants it. But I retest myself every
two weeks. We retest all of our clients every two
weeks because the body changes that quickly. Right. If we
(08:53):
have we've had clients who they got to they have
to go to Asia for a week, right, Well, when
they're on a plane that long, traveling that much when
they get back, their body is different than when they left.
And so that warm up for that guy today when
he gets off the airplane likely is going to have
to be different than before before he went on on
that long trip. And it's no different for myself or
(09:14):
for any of you guys. So as your body changes,
your workout and your warm up. Your workouts obviously and
also your warm ups need to evolve with that. If
your hips, you start out doing a program and your

be focused pre round a lot of the hips hip work. Now,

Therefore you need to spend more time on your trail
right shoulder and even on your lead. That's if you're
right in a player, your trail right shoulder and your
lead left hip right, it'd be flipped. If you're a
lefty right, so that's where you There may even be
(09:58):
specific warm up focus that you're working on based on
what you're attempting to do in the golf swing. So
and this is a kind of a I like, this
is probably my favorite of the three kind of misconceptions
that are out there, because there's not only a discussion
to be had about you today versus you tomorrow versus
you in six months, and how does that warm up
(10:18):
need to evolve and change with you, but there's also
discussion around me versus the next guy to me on
the range. And there's veriability there as well too. And
at the end of the day, unless we're assessing, we're
just guessing. So it just I can't stress this enough.
The biggest gift that I can ever give to any
of you listening right now is that you guys really
(10:39):
take the assessment, understand where you're at and kind of
how to do it. We got a from grid Iron here.
We actually got questions. This is awesome. What's your favorite
hip warm up exercise if you could only pick one
before you play around? So this is actually, uh, it's
actually a loaded question. I don't know if you know that,
but it would depend on how I'm feeling that day.
So if I can only pick one, and I did
(11:01):
heavy squads on deadlifts yesterday and I feel like my
tissue is tight, I'm gonna get on to the crossball
and I'm gonna go up into Actually, you guys can
see me here. I'm gonna get up into my sof
This is kind of my hip pocket, my bone, and
my kind of greater trail cancer my hip bones right there.
I'm gonna come up behind it up in like beltline level,
and I'm going hard on my glut mead because I
(11:22):
know for me, this is where understanding your body. For me,
and honestly for most people this is pretty applicable. That
area will get locked and if that gets locked down,
then your interrol rotation and your hip is gonna get
locked down. So you're actually gonna have decreased ability to
rot into your trail side and into your lead side. Now,
if I didn't lift heavy yesterday, and you know, I'm
just coming in feeling pretty good, and then my favorite
hip exercise is probably gonna be a ninety ninety. So
(11:44):
I'm gonna be sitting on the ground, so I'm with
my feet up. Actually, well, I'll just try to talk loud.
I'll show you guys. I'm live here, So I'm coming
down on the ground here, and I'm just gonna drop
my knees down side to side, right, so I'm going
back and full right. If I'm really tired, I could
put my hands behind right. It makes it a little
bit easier going back and forth right. But the more
(12:07):
advanced would be having my hands up and I'm dropping
my knees down, trying to keep my shoulders square squared
up front. So those would be my two. It's a great,
great question. But if I have to only pick one
and I don't feel like I lifted heavy or have
tightness in my hips, I'm going Look, I'm going with
the ninety ninety. If I did lift heavy yesterday and
(12:28):
I feel like that tissue is kind of locked down
one hundred percent, I'm going to the la crosseball. I'm
going up into that glute meat. The other air I'd
probably go would be the TfL, which would be the
you know, the muscle. It's kind of in the front
of the hip, kind of under the hip pocket here.
So if you're sitting in a chair listening right now,
maybe you're driving, you basically would put like your thumbs
(12:49):
like just in your hip pockets. And that's that muscle
right on the top of your thigh just inside the
that hip bone. That and the glut meter the two
that get really locked down that will actually limit your
and troll rotation. So great question, dude, that was awesome.
So that's what I had for today, guys. Those are
the big three misconceptions that static stretching, doing it in
(13:10):
isolation waste time. Please piled it in with other things,
particularly the dynamic warm ups and tissue work. Just showed
you guys too, for those of you watching live and
then you got hitting golf balls. Is the warm up
to play? That is not the warm up for your body.
There needs to be a warm up that you do
for your body prior and then that your warm up
really needs to change and modify every time that you
go out if your body has changed. And that's the
(13:32):
value of that home assessment, which you know, We'll make
sure we throw that link in the show notes so
that if you guys want to grab that, see where
your body's at today, make your work out, figure out
what you need to do, you know, redo it every
couple of weeks and as your body changes, change the work,
change the warm up. So thanks as always for hanging
out with me here on the Bomb Squad, and also
for all of you guys live, Thanks for the for
hanging out and thanks for the questions and definitely be
(13:52):
checking out. Socials will be announcing when we're doing more
of these live events as we go, so thanks always
for hanging out with me here on the Golfing's Bomb Squad.
