🏌️‍♂️ GOLFERS: Are Your Gym Workouts Hurting Your Golf Game?
At Chris Ownbey’s Golf Fitness, we see golfers every week who are working hard in the gym—but some traditional exercises may not be helping their golf swing.
Two exercises to take a closer look at:
❌ 1. Traditional Barbell Squat
Heavy squatting can be a great strength exercise, but for some golfers it can reinforce stiffness and compression—especially if you already have limited hip, ankle, or thoracic mobility.
❌ 2. Traditional Woodchop
It looks golf-specific because you’re rotating, but repeatedly forcing rotation under resistance doesn’t automatically create a better golf swing. Poor mechanics can reinforce the wrong movement patterns.
Instead, we want to build the mobility, stability, balance and rotational control needed to strike the ball consistently.
