An average golf club is also a perfect Improvised Isometric Exercise Device or IIED, so you're literally carrying your own go-anywhere multi-gym with you everywhere you play. Golf pros and coaches can also use these exercises as a handy resource to practice with their clients.

Created by world renown coach, Cal Dietz, Triphasic Training breaks down dynamic, athletic movements into their three components (eccentric, isometric, and concentric), and maximizes performance gains by applying stress to the athlete in a way that allows for the continuous development of strength, speed, and power. Who uses Triphasic Training: Everyone! From elite level athletes to absolute beginners, the triphasic method of training allows for maximal performance gains in minimal time. For that reason professional athletes from all backgrounds seek out Coach Dietz each off-season to train with his triphasic system. Coach Dietz has worked with hundreds of athletes from the NFL, NHL, and MLB, as well as several dozen Olympic athletes in track and field, swimming, and hockey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been approved by TWiEA - The World Isometric Exercise Association (www.TWiEA.com). Isometric exercise has been a part of almost every system of the martial arts ever devised. Even before isometrics were studied scientifically and modern science-based training techniques were devised they have been taught and practised in one form or another for thousands of years. It was the great Bruce Lee and his love of isometric exercise who ensured that this system would forevermore be famously linked to all types of martial arts training. This book contains a valuable resource of practical isometric exercises designed to build serious strength, muscle and martial arts 'firepower' needed by all types of martial artists. More importantly, isometric exercise builds solid, hard, practical muscle and not the bodybuilder type of bulk that would seriously restrict a martial artist. One of the authors is recognised as being one of the leading authorities on isometric exercise, isometric exercise science and as a practitioner of several different styles of martial arts for almost 50-years. Among his many awards and accolades, he is a WKA 8th Degree Black Belt and a recipient of a WKA Lifetime Achievement Award.
