If I want to swing the club faster, I can’t just train like a bodybuilder anymore.
That’s probably the biggest change I’m making in my workouts right
now.
For a long time, my training was almost entirely strength-focused.
Heavy lifts, trying to get stronger in the traditional sense.
And strength matters for golf, but club head speed is about more than just force.
It’s about how FAST force can be produced.
So instead of training only for strength, I’m shifting toward a combination of strength AND power.
That means more explosive intent, more speed-focused movements, and less overall heavy lifting volume.
I’m only doing two true strength and power sessions per week now one upper body day and one lower body, because I want quality, recovery, and explosiveness instead of just fatigue.
The second change is adding more unilateral exercises.
Single-leg work. Single-arm work. More stability-focused movements.
Golf is not a perfectly balanced sport.
You swing off one side, rotate through one side, and create force while controlling instability.
So if I can improve my balance, coordination, and stability independently on each side of my body, that should translate into a more efficient swing and hopefully more speed.
Third, I’m adding more athletic and explosive movements.
Things like rotational throws, jumps, med ball work, and movements that help me create force from the ground up.
Because in golf, speed starts from the ground.
The better you are at producing and transferring ground force, the more potential you have to generate club head speed.
I don’t just want to be strong anymore — I want to be athletic.
And finally, mobility is becoming a much bigger priority.
I think a lot of people underestimate how important mobility is for speed.
If your hips don’t move well, if your thoracic spine is stiff, if your shoulders can’t rotate properly... you’re literally limiting how much speed you can create.
So now I’m building mobility directly into the plan. Dedicated mobility days, mobility before workouts, mobility after workouts - Not just as an afterthought.
The goal isn’t just to train harder. The goal is to move better, create force faster,
