Power & Strength Assessments
Mobility & Stability Assessments
In this section, we will focus on the most important piece of equipment. Your body! It is designed to provide tremendous power, if you
train for it. The first step is to understand what your body can produce for power at this moment in time. We’ll begin with a series of Power Assessments to establish a baseline. We’ll also look under the hood to determine what kind of car you drive with a trip back to childhood.
From there, we’ll dive into understanding our muscles. Our bodies are intricate systems with a Central Nervous System (CNS) in the driver’s seat. And when it comes to generating power, the CNS needs to command a specific type of muscle called Type IIx. Type IIx are explosive muscles. They can provide quick bursts of energy (i.e. sprinters). This type of muscle, however, fatigues quickly. Another muscle type is called Type I. These are our everyday and endurance muscles. They are slower to fatigue. (i.e. marathon runners).

Let’s Define Power
Let’s Define Power. What is it?
FORCE x VELOCITY = POWER
The rate at which you produce a force—strong and fast—equals power. As golfers, applying this equation can produce incredible distance gains. The first step is to understand what power is. The second is to train our bodies to produce that ... -
Power Safety
Safety First
Your safety should be your number one priority. Please honor your body (as they say in yoga) and make sure that you are mobile and stable before performing any of the More Pars Training protocols with weight. In fact, you’ll run through the TPI Level 1 Screens, which will provide a ...

Understanding Your Muscles
UNDERSTANDING YOUR MUSCLES – HOW THEY ARE CREATED
Muscles are created by the workouts that we do. Muscles are made up of fibers, lots and lots of them. Based on what we are asking our muscles to do, the command center— the Central Nervous System—will send the appropriate signals to get the job do...
