Hi All,
I've been aspiring towards Simple (of simple and sinister) since March 2020 and this is my first time posting. Can you please provide me with feedback on my swing? One thing to note, besides the additional context below: my low back has been sore since July and I believe it's due to improper form but can't identify the form failure myself. Thank you!
- 16kg
- 24kg
- 16kg, one arm
- injury history: My low back doesn't hurt during the workout but stiffens up after the workout. After my S&S workout I do the stretches in the book and ice my low back. The soreness doesn't limit me physically. S&S is my primary workout, additional exercise comes in the form of taking my 9 month old son on walks and playing with him, no restrictions or pain.
- relevant demographics: I'm 32, male, 5 feet 11 inches, 175 lbs
- movement history: my body is in good working order, most nights I stretch parts of my body using the exercises in Kelly Starrett's Supple Leopard book
- sports/competition history: S&S is my primary workout, otherwise I walk and play with my 9 month old son, when he grows up I'll resume playing golf and maybe do some triathlons
-where do you want to go from here: I want to get to 10 sets of 10 swings at 24kg, take a break around the holidays, then pick it up to his the 32kg simple goal; in general I'm trying to do minimal exercise as possible to stay in decent shape with young kids. When the kids are older and I have more time I'll definitely pick up golf and perhaps get back into triathlon.
Thank you so much for your help!
