Golf - Tiger Woods Workout Is Not What You Think Tiger Woods workout is supposedly this “hush-hush” secret nobody knows about, but everybody is dying to find out.

Tiger Woods workout has been rumored to be grueling and highly intensive. I was on a golf forum and even heard someone say Tiger Woods bench presses 300 pounds. I almost fell out of my chair. For Tiger to put his rotator cuffs, chest and shoulder muscles at risk by bench pressing 300 pounds is a bit extreme. I can confidently say Tiger does not do heavy bench presses.

This may or may not be a term you have heard, but it is vitally important to the golf swing. Proprioception is a big word that, simply put, is defined as “knowing where your body is in space.” Essentially, i...
