Getting Back In the Swing of the Game

Eric F in Florida is a Charlie Mike reader with an inspiring golf/rehab story --

"I just wanted to drop you a quick line to let you know how much your product has impacted my life. About 9 years ago I blew out my right shoulder in a skiing accident. I had Bankart repair surgery and my right shoulder never really felt 100%. I always heard some cracking and it felt weak. 2 years ago I fell and blew out my left shoulder. I tore some ligaments but after the MRI the doctors opted for physical rehabilitation instead of surgery. I completed the rehab and my left shoulder never got better. At the time of my second accident I was a 1 handicap and golf was my only true passion. Even after rehab I could not grip a golf club without pain and if I tried to extend my left arm around my body pain shot through arms, shoulder and back. Needless to say I have not played golf since.

3 months ago I purchased the Perfect Pushup for my wife as she was complaining about her lack of upper body strength. I would sit there and watch her do the exercises and really wish I had the strength in my left shoulder to join her. Well one day I said to myself that I will never build strength if I don’t start trying. I started out at the lowest possible number of reps and did the prescribed program for beginners. 2 months later I am at the third level (14,10,8) on the three main exercises. I am not exaggerating at all when I say that I am stronger than ever and I have no pain in either shoulder. I attribute this to the design of the Perfect Pushup and the way it takes stress off of your joints. I can grip a golf club without pain and yesterday I swung a club in my yard without any pain. I am going to try to start hitting pitch shots this week and see if I can move up to full shots.

Thanks so much for your product!

Perfecting your Golf Game with the Perfect Pushup

Recently I participated in a best-ball golf tourney and brought along the Travel Perfect Pushup. My teammates gave me all kinds of flack about pushups hurting their golf swing…until they tried it. We dropped before every hole and did a set of pushups – some did 5, some did 20 – but we did it before every hole. It didn’t hurt my golf game (which isn’t saying much), and actually improved theirs on the back nine (where their game usually suffers the most). We enjoyed the 19th hole even more.


If you’re a golfer try knocking out 5 per hole to start with. As you get more comfortable with it, ramp up the reps per hole to 10 – 15 - 20 and so on. Let me know if this improves your game.

CHARLIE MIKE!
