Chuck Cook knows golf. He knows it so well that three major golf publications have ranked him among the top 10 golf instructors in the U.S. He knows it so well that he's trained a few champions you might have heard of: Corey Pavin, Tom Kite and the late Payne Stewart. And he knows it so well that he opened the Chuck Cook Golf Academy at Barton Creek Resort & Spa (bartoncreek.com) in Austin, Texas, to spread his knowledge to amateurs. There, he trains the whole body rather than its parts ("In golf, you use virtually all the muscle groups," he comments) and follows several workout rules: "No isolation exercises, no machines, no endurance training except for interval training; stretching comes after training; and all weight training consists of multijoint lifts." But don't worry if Texas isn't on your itinerary. Cook suggests the following exercises to bring your game up to par.
* Power Clean Grasp a barbell resting on the floor with an overhand shoulder-width grip and arch your back slightly to maintain its natural curve. Keeping your arms straight with your elbows turned slightly out, lift the bar by powerfully extending your legs. When the bar is about knee high, push your hips forward and upward toward the bar, then continue to powerfully lift it to shoulder height, jumping up as you do so. Drop down to squat under the barbell, rotating and bending your arms so your elbows point forward, allowing the bar to rest on your palms and the upper part of your shoulders. Straighten your legs and rise to the standing position, feet shoulder-width apart. Return the barbell to the floor and repeat for reps. Do three sets of five reps.
* Push-Press Stand holding a pair of dumbbells over your shoulders with your palms facing each other and your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend at your knees until you're in a half-squat position, then immediately reverse direction by explosively extending your hips and knees. As soon as your legs are fully extended, press the dumbbells straight overhead. Do three sets of five reps.
* Romanian Deadlift Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart and legs straight. Hold a barbell in both hands with an overhand grip. Keeping a slight bend in your knees, lean forward until your torso is level to the floor and the bar is about midway down your shins. Maintain an arch in your lower back as you lift your torso and push your hips forward. At the top, you should be standing erect with your shoulders back. Do three sets of 8-10 reps.
