The Golf Blog says:Golf Channel announcer Brandel Chamblee questioned Rory McIlroy’s weight lifting as potentially detrimental to his golf. “What he [Tiger Woods] did towards the middle and end of his career is an example to be wary of. That’s just my opinion. And it does give me a little concern when I see the extensive weightlifting that Rory is doing in the gym. Thus far, there’s been no signs that it’s adversely affected his game.” Rory was not amused by Brandel’s comment.

Re the squats it was the last set of 3×3 at 120kg(265lbs). Did 3×10 at 100kg(225lbs) before that. I'm 165lbs. I'm a golfer not body builder
