A question I get semi-frequently about training for disc golf is about my thoughts on using training implements to increase the load, progressing to more “advanced” exercises, and when to choose complex exercises.
Those are great questions, and if you watch most of my videos you might get the impression that all
I like to do is bodyweight and “prehab” exercises.
The real answer is that I LOVE using a wide variety of training implements to add load, progressing to more advanced variations, and mixing in complexity.
However, as a coach, and this is VERY important, I am a firm believer in earning those loads, progressions, and complexity.
The reality is that making a jump too soon in any of those training variables, without building a strong foundation, could fast track you to potential injury and keep you from maximizing your gains.
Build a solid foundation of mobility, stability, and strength first. Then add in the high-performance variables to take you to the next level both safely and confidently.
Sometimes the foundational exercises don’t look as cool or make your muscles scream for mercy, but they can’t be skipped if you want to maximize your athletic potential.
Filling air in the tires and topping off the oil in a race car isn’t nearly as cool as racing it around a track, but you definitely wouldn’t want to skip those critical steps.
There will be exercises in the future showing training implements and advanced progressions but plan on them being directed towards the foundational movements first.
