Sneaky Alligator: What course do you usually play up there near Waukesha? I'm a Marquette grad so I swing by there every now and then.

Good idea but what you're describing would be the external rotation motion. A simple isometric contraction for internal would be to stand facing a doorway with your elbow at 90 degrees. Put your right fist in the doorway, directly against the frame and then rotate inward toward your belly...

Gotcha. Keep doing what you're doing. Sounds like you've been given some exercises already. But you can still work the muscle if your range is limited (and since you're not going to give up disc), throw some isometric contraction exercises in there to mix it up.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the wrist flexors give you that snap in forehand. Wrist extension gives you the snap in backhand. The "speed" of the forehand motion comes primarily from your rotator cuff, as it internal rotates towards your belly button. To work on wrist flexion, grip a...

Rest and ice the muscle, if it's inflamed. Try to stretch it throughout your day -- one way to do so would be to get onto your knees and reach forward with your fingers away from your body (as if in a praying position). Think about sinking your armpits as close to the floor as possible. Hold...

Exactly. I am coming to love disc golf but walking around a park and throwing a plastic disc for two hours isn't strenuous for someone that isn't sedentary. It's essentially a nice walk. If someone dedicates that equivalent amount of time while doing a proper gym workout, or while doing a...
