A good strength training program, be it for golf or daily health and well-being, consists of just a few simple yet effective movements.
This month we focus on the following:
• Push (Push up to Dumbbell)
• Pull (Dumbell row to Pull up)
• Squat (Bodyweight to Barbell squat)
• Hinge (Pick up exercise to Barbell Deadlift)
Each of these movements can be regressed and progressed according to individual physique and strength. Aim to perform these exercises up to a certain level over time to ensure longevity not just in golf, but also in living a fit and healthy life.
PUSHING
Science has shown that the chest creates force in the downswing and is one of the power providers in the golf swing.
The single-arm dumbbell press works only one side of the chest muscles at a time; this activates the body to stabilise and counter any rotational movements. In effect, killing two birds with one stone.
