Once the Foundational Education Program has been set, students will have a better opportunity to be successful, avoid injury, etc when taking on a strength and power program. Most ideal for OFFSEASON as there will be more workload on the body/tissues which may not be most suitable to maintaining overall mobility and range of motion in the timeframe. Ground force reaction and how energy is transferred throughout the body will be a continuous focus in all exercises. This program will have some golf specific movements but majority of it will be non-golf related as the goal is to develop true overall strength and power, not golf specific speed. The golf swing is a dynamic movement that is fluid and elastic. Exercises performed during this program will be power driven and used with a different tempo of concentric-eccentric-isometric phases of the movement versus more ballistic style for speed training.

Strength Series Breakdown:

• Building upon the concepts of the Foundation Series and Mobility Series we will introduce strength concepts as it pertains to golf.

• Learn how to utilize weights to develop a strong lower body and core.

• We are going to utilize proven strength conditioning concepts to develop the lower body.

• Perform exercises utilizing weights in support of a powerful weight transfer. Ensure the core is active, supporting a powerful pivot.

• Discuss the benefits of power walking and it’s benefits to strength. We will continue to work on developing a powerful pivot.

• Perform Pull style exercises to strengthen back muscles.

• Perform Push style exercises to strengthen chest, arms, and core.

• Perform dynamic full body exercises ensuring a powerful swing sequence.

• Continue to work dynamic full body exercises in support of a powerful swing sequence.

• Review and recap the series.
