Mobility

3 Sets

  • 5/5 MB, roller, wall rotations (15# Slam Ball)
  • 20 Weighted Dead Bugs (5# DBs)

2 Sets

  • 20 Seated Hip Openers
  • 7/7 Banded Backswing Press (red band, video)

Other reference videos where we took some of these movements.

We also took our drivers out in the back yard to test swing speed. I maxed out at a 108 and averaged about a 103. B hit 79 a couple of times and averaged about a 76.

Double Up Dumbbells

Warm-up

  • PVC Passes
  • Calf Raises
  • Trunk Twist
  • Tip Toe Walk

Conditioning

4 Rounds

  • 80 Jump Rope
  • 12 DB Curls (20#) + 12 Tricep Pushdowns (bar, 49#)
  • 30 Sprinter Sit-ups (Partner does 30s Plank)
  • 24 Walking Lunges
  • 12 DB Bench Press (50#) + 12 DB Push Press (35#)
  • 12/12 Side V-ups (Partner does 24 Plank Knee Taps)

Partner workout with B. For the jump rope and lunges we each went while the other rested. The dumbbell movements were paired up, so the partner rested until both movements were done. For the abs, each partner was working at the same time and then we switched. I started the first round and then we alternated who started every round after that. Took us 34:01.

With a Knee Tap

Warm-up

  • 2 Sets
    • 10 Air Squats

We went straight through again, resting while each other did their round. I decided to stick with the dumbbells I had instead of going from 30 up to 45 each set. We ran a clock and it took us 26:17.
