As someone with a rotator cuff injury in both arms this is something disc golfers shouldn't take for granted

[@RayCincy]

Yes i'm 2 months new to the game and am skinny/tall. My rotator cuff has been hurting and i'm resting it.. I know my strength and mobility likely aren't great so hopefully I can get into PT with my insurance. Hope your situation gets better and you can continue to enjoy the game!

[@nicholasmoreno7904]

Loved this. I see players all the time jump out of their car and start throwing hard. Warm up everyone, but most importantly get out and train: lift some weights, use some bars, do calisthenics, and stretch. For Disc Golfers I highly recommend working on hip mobility/stretching, Glute Strengthening to prevent knee injuries (these exercises will of course strengthen those legs) and full shoulder/rotator Cuff/AC joint training.

[@pactme]

Yup! Calf work too. Strong muscles above and below the knee protects the knee, mitigates osteoarthritis arthritis, mitigates plant foot stress, weight shift, all that, let alone walking up and down hills with your bag.

Awesome Video! Love to hear from Dylan Cease and this is a super important topic.

[@McFlightDGCanada]

This is going to be super useful especially for us Masters+ players. Thanks DGPT

[@2Large4U]

Great topic, depth and production. Awesome, thank you for the content!

[@chriscowan6098]

Thank you! This was very informative and encouraging for a forty something beginner.

[@scbuckeye1267]

Awesome, best one yet!

I'm a bit disappointed that Brian didn't ask Dylan about how training is different under Earth's yellow sun vs. training under Krypton's red sun. Missed opportunity.

"What if you're 45..." ...😂 i feel attacked! Srsly though, I do the elastic band work and light weights...and lots of stretching before and during rounds, during the week as well. Just a few times a week and I don't experience fatigue or injuries at 46.

[@neiljorgensen6765]

Hugely important! Almost no one in disc golf talks about how necessary athleticism and injury prevention are as you get further into the sport. The more force you're putting into the disc, the stronger your muscles, tendons, and joints need to be to withstand it and produce it. Just as 90% of winning a tournament is in the preparation, so is 90% of throwing the disc.

[@kennethgraham1807]

Great job!! Now how about the knees?

[@frankdougherty2351]

Good content

[@nathanrobbins2440]

I saw y'all there at Sequoyah. Funny coincidence

[@pactme]

I hurt my throwing elbow last year from, of all things, swinging and missing flies with an electric fly swatter. It took forever to heal. First pro tip: don’t do stupid stuff with your throwing arm.

[@prattacaster]

You forgot to show us the actual weight training part, like what lifts do I need to do

[@bigdiscenergy]

They totally explained all of that. Squats. He said legs and core exercises are critical to take pressure off the shoulders. He also said Y T and I exercises. Just using resistance bands and light weights like 3-5-8 pounds are enough.

[@SERVISONE]

I am willing to bet though that absolutely most disc golfers do not touch a single weight, let alone shoulder care!

[@joshwarner3926]

I am the guy that takes 45mins to warm up before a round. Lol

[@loadedmango387]

UCL is ulnar collateral ligament. it’s not a muscle.

[@Grannyknockers]

It’s really just sidearm. Backhand is 100x safer.

[@scottgaringer]

It’s all of it as hammered home in this video. A proper warm up after regular strength & mobility work will make every golfer better prepared to throw any shot.

[@lilslick72591]

Backhand is better for the elbow but not the shoulder
