Similar to John Daily, after ripping a bowl and cracking your first beer. No stretch just 2 off the top!! Yeehaw!!!

[@owencarvill3629]

Thank you for this! Absolutely would love the 3 times a week routine!

[@tonyatemple4657]

Let's normalize stretching and warming up! Don't know why I feel awkward doing much stretching, but it's so necesary

[@luckypullR9]

Love this. I would also love to see a specific workout routine for disc golf.

[@strokesmuse77]

Thank you for this, Robbie (and Josh)! I'm working through some elbow bursitis with PT, and now I can add these to the sessions at home. Hope you're able to get back out there soon, Robbie!

[@GeigerHyzer]

I use Jaeger bands (available on Amazon) since I used those for baseball. They have a clip on the end that you can attach to chain link fence, a basket, or I even use the trunk latch on my car sometimes. They have wrist straps and two bands attached to one point so you can hit both sides or just isolate one. I definitely don't use them as much as I should, but there a great resource if you want something a step above regular therabands or tubing. Good luck with the recovery!

[@jacobtincknell6818]

Hey Robbie thanks for this video. Please make sure you reference this video in the future. As well to drive engagement on this one. Also a good reminder for those new future disc golfers years down the road.

[@bakerby]

Great video. Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but it’s probably a good thing to breathe while pulling on the bands. It looks like you are holding your breath.

[@Gynan]

Do a light upper body workout with dumbbells. Worked for me in baseball. Worked for me in Ultimate. Works for me in disc golf.

[@Tacocheesecake]

i do not have a streching routine per se, but i have a few strecthes ill do before playing and a long warm up throwing session throw slow with putters first and working up to power throws at the end. throw session is at least 30 min long and right before tee off

[@aslan-og]

Of course, you should do both sides, not just your throwing arm. Good topic.

[@JoeyBKC]

I am going through the exact same injury right now Robbie. I have been trying to push through it for I have been playing really good but the pain is becoming way to much and your DNF video showed me that I should not be pushing myself and have decided today after a round that got worse and started to loose grip towards the end that it is time to take weeks if not a month or longer off from throwing just ordered the bands and starteing my road to recovery.

[@ogdiscgolfer]

Is it wrong I was pulling for the pole to fall over and bonk you? I didn't want you to get hurt (much :P) but it would have been video gold! Thanks Robbie!

[@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777]

I always have my theraband gold bands with me. :) I thought I was alone in the wilderness with this technique - this helps with so many aspects (for me)

[@BenjaminMedlock]

Great video. Always more of this.

[@fernandeazy8715]

Good stuff! I’d like to see part two. I’m starting to feel soreness in my hips and back after rounds. Don’t want to end up sidelined and have to play bocce ball 😂

[@dylanrodriguez8203]

Idk if this is right but on Most sports PT stuff u wanna do Activation Before and stretching after the activity. I'm sure this us a combo of both but something to keep in mind

[@stephenscott4687]

Awesome video Robbie. Just ordered the bands on your affiliate link.

[@DamianM90]

Hi Robbie, love the vid. Im a Physio and would like to offer some tips, but dont want to cramp your style. Do you mind if I post a few comments to help (obviously this will be generalised and not for a specific person)

[@RobbieCDiscgolf]

Would love it! Please do!!

[@DamianM90]

⁠@@RobbieCDiscgolf Perfect! First off, timing of movement is key for this type of warm up. You want to focus on movement and muscle control (can see in some of your movements you have a slight shake which indicated reduced control). So do 4sec for the movement with a 2 sec hold at full theroband stretch. Supination/pronation of the forearm is a big factor in disc golf so try a theroband resisted supination (bent elbow wrist rolls essentially, google it for some images). The exercise at 4 mins is great, but adding the reverse shoulder movements in is also a key one I show people. So have both hands up (out in front of you), at shoulder length apart and with the theroband taught, then slowly pull out to the side with one arm (reverse of the movement at the 4 min mark). This will give both eccentric and concentric musc control in the moving limb while also making the other side work on isometric control (which is also super important). Adding in a supraspinatus exercise would help in shoulder control (essentially the first exercise but invert your hand). Finally with all of these movements, try to limit upper body sway or preemptive movements as it reduces some of the efficacy. As mentioned, this is all generalised so may not be appropriate for everyone (injury state dependant) BUT is a great addition to the warm ups. Love your work and good luck in recovery!

[@DamianM90]

@@RobbieCDiscgolf I just wrote an entire thing then accidentally deleted it….take 2. Control of movement is key to these warmups, so focus on 4 second movement with 2 second hold (this will help muscular control). With the first exercise, an additional variant would be doing it with your hand inverted (so that supraspinatus is focused on as it is key in shoulder movement/stability). For the second exercise, another variant would be to start with both hands out infront (at shoulder height and shoulder width) with the theroband taught between them and then slowly moving one arm out towards your side (so same movement but with the opposite resistance direction). This will work on both eccentric and concentric muscle movements in the one arm as the other works on isometrics (which is really important in joint stability). Supranation/pronation of the forearm is also a big movement in disc gold, so doing some theroband resisted exercises of the wrist (bent elbow, the supernate and pronate with resistance) would help some of the typical epicondylitis issues that can arise. And finally, with all of these, try to reduce excessive body movements or sway as you want the UL to do the work, not your trunk. Again, these are general comments and may not suit everyones situation/injury so do check with your clinician when doing this type of thing. Otherwise, love your work here and hope your injury gets better

Don't mock the thumbers off the tee. It's all I can do sort of effectively. Sort of. 😂 I'm traditional throwing challenged, always have been. 🫠 Heal quickly, Robbie! 🛴❤️
