Plank
Long mobile pec muscles prevent rounding shoulders at address and through the swing. Strength of the pec major and minor increase upper body strength and stability thought out the swing
Starting position:
Before lifting your body, align your elbows directly under the shoulders, toes pull up toward the shins, palms facing up, not touching.
Movement:
Activate the abdominals to bring the hips and torso off the ground, until the back is FLAT, and parallel to the floor, then squeeze the glutes and quads, to being the knees off the ground.
Notes: A plank is called a “plank” for a reason….. your body should be flat as a board. No round in upper back, no arch in lower back. Feel your abs pulling your pelvis and your ribcage together.
