Recently, I’ve been telling you all about the Max Golf Workout. If you checked out my interview with author John Little, then you heard a lot about my experience already.
To briefly summarize the Max Contraction system (on which the Max Golf Workout is based), it is characterized by these two main points:
Loading a muscle with maximal weight for a brief period in a fully-contracted position until 100% of its energy is drained.
Longer recovery times spanning from 7-14 days between workouts, [...]

Things are starting to click now.
In my lessons, we’ve been addressing a few problems. Here’s a rundown of the tweaks I’ve had to make:

To me, that action feels like I’m taking the club back outside the line and re-routing it on the downswing. Of course, I’m not, but it’s way different than taking it back inside the target line.

It was good to get back to taking lessons this week. I had my first one in quite a while on Saturday.
After watching me hit a few shots from face on and down the line perspectives, my pro’s first observation was that my takeaway is bad. I’ve been taking the club too quickly to the inside of the line to start the swing.
This is likely due to my work with a one-plane swing. It’s very rotational and [...]
