Check out that photo. It looks like he gained even more muscle in the off-season. It looks like he has Mark McGwire's arms, almost.
Although again, Tiger is doing this all without steroids.
I'd be very interested to see Tiger's workout program. Is there anything fancy in it? Or is it just the basics? How does he gain strength without sacrificing mobility? That is one of the biggest mistakes most "bodybuilding" type routines make...if a golfer did bodybuilding type training, it would most likely ruin his game just as easily as getting fat and out of shape.
Does Tiger use a lot of bodyweight exercises? Does he do cardio or interval training? If anyone has the inside scoop on that training program, let me know.
Now you certainly don't need to be a powerlifter, bodybuilder, or gymnast to be a good golfer...as you can see by the physiques on many other men and women on tour. However, you can't let your strength or mobility be the limiting factor in your game. So you need to train...
The best things to do are...
1) Use a variety of bodyweight exercises to work on your strength and mobility. This can be part of your warmup or can compose your entire workout. Like I said, you don't need to be a powerlifter to be a golfer.
2) Work with a good golf coach to identify your weaknesses. Is your lack of hip mobility messing up your swing? Is your work posture ruining your shoulder mobility? Etc.
3) Eat right for fat loss and mental energy. You won't get tired on the course. I believe this is one of the most under-rated aspects of Tiger's game. If you watch him play, you'll see him snacking at various points in the day. And he ain't eating junk, unlike many of the older players on the scene. Plus, good nutrition allows him to recover between rounds and between workouts.
