Upper-body strength training for golf athletes is about more than just pressing and pulling weight. They need to be able to produce force while maintaining stability through their trunk and pelvis.

Exercises like single-arm presses and rows challenge golf athletes to control unwanted movement while building upper-body strength and coordination.

Golf requires both force production and control. The goal is to build athletes to be strong enough to produce force and stable enough to control it.

What a weekend! First time playing in the IHSA State Golf Tournament. Not the performance I was looking for but an unbelievable learning experience. I’ve got two more seasons to get back here and improve. Looking forward to the challenge.

THANK YOU for all the support and encouragement.

Different training goals require different doses.

Lower Volume: Prioritize force & intent

Higher Volume: Build muscular endurance, tissue capacity, ability to maintain quality

Why: Golf athletes need to produce high levels of force quickly, but also maintain physical output through long practices, multiple rounds and tournaments

Goal: Strategically use volume based on adaption we want
