Golf's Perfect Imperfections
GPI: 3,000 years and no change in how we exercise our bodies…until now
EMS (Electro Muscle Stimulation) training is a highly effective and time-efficient workout that can benefit people of all ages and fitness levels. It involves using a special suit that delivers electrical impulses to the muscles, causing them to contract and work harder than they would during traditional exercise. The Team at Wisdom in Golf has partnered with the Katalyst team, which has sought to bring EMS training at the leisure of your own home. Their ultimate goal is to help everyone develop with this technology at their own pace.
In a recent podcast, we did, with the CEO & Founder of Katalyst, Bjoern Woltermann, set the tone for what the EMS training is all about and what potential it has for every golfer out there, amateur or professional:
[Minute 02:09] “We’re talking about a new way of working out for the first time in 3000 years. Because for 3000 years, if we think about it, the Olympic Games are still the same, right? We wrestle, and we throw things, and we run, and we lift things. You know, it sure to be a rock, and now it’s a little bit more refined, but at the End of the day, we measure how much we can lift over our head. That’s literally what we measure.” – Bjoern Woltermann, CEO & Founder of Katalyst
This technology has been used for decades in physical therapy and rehabilitation settings but is now gaining popularity as a workout tool. One of the main benefits of EMS training is that it allows people to achieve maximum results in minimal time. A 20-minute EMS session can be equivalent to a two-hour traditional gym workout. This is especially beneficial for busy professionals and those with hectic schedules who struggle to find time for exercise.
Whether you want to lose weight, build muscle, or improve your overall health, EMS can help you achieve your objectives more efficiently than traditional exercise. Another advantage of EMS training is that it can be customized to suit individual needs and fitness goals. Within a month (Mid-March to Late-April) of utilizing the Katalyst Suit, the team at Wisdom in Golf claims to have seen profound gains in their golf swing, improvement with mind and body connection that is enhanced by the suit, and a better sense of well being.
Here is what Shawn said after using it for a month:
[Minute 35:09] “I did notice in the last week and a half I feel stronger over the ball, and I’m feeling more capable, and that’s, that’s a really fun feel to have for your confidence. So then I proceed to go through my practice session […] my beginning clubhead speed lately has been 102mph-104mph, and I can ramp it up to 110mph-112mph clubhead speed, and that’s pretty much where I have been staying. Last year it was at 114mph clubhead speed”, [35:53],” I haven’t been at 117mph clubhead speed since my 40s, I’m 57 years old, so I ramp it up to 114mph, Wow that’s pretty cool!”,[36:52],” Here I am at a 117mph clubhead speed at 57 years old, and I’m thinking I’m the king of the world right now, and then when I had a nice moment of gratitude, and I thought of you guys {Katalyst Team}.” – Shawn Clement
Furthermore, EMS is low impact and can be adapted to suit all fitness levels, making it an excellent option for people of all ages and abilities. It’s also ideal for those with joint or mobility issues, as the electrical stimulation can be used to target specific muscles without putting additional stress on the joints. Overall, EMS training is a highly effective and versatile workout tool that can benefit every demographic. With its time-saving and customizable approach, it’s no wonder why it’s quickly becoming a popular choice for those looking to achieve maximum results in minimal time.

Never listen to podcasts. I learned to read in elementary school. And who wants to look like an idiot in public with earbuds in. Words people. I want to read words.

When I see it’s a video or podcast, I just keep it moving. I come here for articles. I can go to YouTube to watch videos or other forms of media to listen to a podcast. I come here to read.

The technologically challenged (read geriatric) members of the forum want an article. I think the article should be how and where to download the Podcasts.

Na bro. It’s just because the new younger generation has no idea how, or is to lazy to sit and transcript the interview… Anyways I’m not opposed to a click link, but my ears are jacked from nam, can’t afford earbuds, and don’t want others to hear a bunch of noise just coming from my phone in public.. I prefer to read…

Did anyone understand what irons RP said he played for years? With his strong Texas drawl and fast speech, I couldn’t understand what he said. Did he say “Toth” irons? I listened several times and just couldn’t catch it.

Count me in as the 4th against the inane pods. Post the article for our hearing impaired “readers” and post some pics of the
equipment!

Interesting podcast. It is cool to listen to the pros talk in depth about their equipment.
I think the same way about irons as Palmer. It is a lot about the sole. Titleist irons definitely have a wider sole so it has a shallower divot compared to a lot of other irons. Surprised he didn’t move to a newer version of Titleist irons.

Seriously, stop with the podcasts. Myself, and I am sure the majority of other frequenters of GolfWRX would prefer to read an article over listening to a 30+ minute podcast. There are so many benefits of a written article. It is impossible to skim a podcast in just a few minutes. Or at least provide those of us who prefer to read an article the full manuscript of the podcast so we do not have to listen to the entire thing just to get the information we want to know. I am very close to giving up on GolfWRX as a whole and no longer checking the website for golf related news.
