They’re not actually trying to mimic their golf swing in the gym, they’re building the physical qualities that support it.

The trap bar deadlift is one of the most effective exercises for developing:

✅ Lower-body strength
✅ Ground force production
✅ Explosive power
✅ Hip extension
✅ Core stability

A powerful golf swing starts from the ground.

The ability to create force through the feet and transfer it efficiently through the hips, trunk, and upper body is a major contributor to clubhead speed.

Compared to a conventional deadlift, the trap bar places the load closer to the body’s center of mass, allowing athletes to maintain a more upright torso while still producing high levels of force.

This makes it an accessible option for many golfers looking to build strength and power without unnecessary complexity.

It also offers versatility. Golfers can use heavy trap bar deadlifts to develop maximal strength or perform lighter, explosive variations such as trap bar jumps to improve rate of force development and power output.

Train like an athlete and your swing will benefit from it.

As a coach, it’s easy to get caught up in the numbers on the bar.

But if I’m honest, seeing a client move better gives me much more satisfaction than seeing them lift more.

The trap bar deadlift progression in these slides is a perfect example…

The weight hasn’t changed by much, but what has changed is the quality of movement…

Better positioning, better tension, better force production, and a more efficient way to build strength.

Anyone can chase numbers.

The real art of coaching is helping someone build the movement foundations that allow those numbers to keep increasing.

Strength isn’t just about what you lift, it’s also about how you lift it.

And when a client develops better movement, better awareness, and better confidence in their body, that’s worth celebrating every single time.

You 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 do it alone…

but here’s why having a coach (or me) in your corner changes the game:

✅ 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 & 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 - Take the guessing out of the equation. A coach will give you a clear, customized and progressive plan that will help you achieve your goals.

✅ 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 - Motivation fades, but a coach will keep you on track even on days where you feel like you don’t want to do it.

✅ 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 - Stop wasting time on random workouts that do nothing for you. Get results quicker with professional programming.

✅ 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 & 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 - Everyone hits roadblocks on their journey. A coach will help you to overcome those barriers and guide you forwards.

✅ 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 - Fad diets, quick fixes and making workouts up on the spot will fail you at some point. A coach will you build habits for life.

Invest in yourself…your goals deserve more than trial and error.

You crawl out of the gym drenched in sweat.
Breathing heavy.
Legs shaking.

It feels productive. It feels like progress.

But that feeling of exhaustion is not a performance metric.

A lot of people will confuse intensity with effectiveness. If every session that you do leaves you feeling f**ked, that’s not discipline, it’s poor planning.

Take a look at your week…

If it’s hard lift, hard intervals, hard conditioning, and repeating, that’s not a structured program. That’s just accumulating stress and hoping your body is able to figure it out.

When everything is high intensity, nothing stands out.

There’s no contrast. No progression. No strategy.

Just fatigue on top of fatigue.

Your body doesn’t adapt to chaos and inconsistency. It adapts to clear, repeatable signals.

Your performance will improve when your training has intention:

Aerobic work that actually builds capacity instead of draining it.
Threshold sessions that expand what you can sustain.
Strength work that progresses week to week and not workout to workout.
Hard days that are truly hard and your easy days that actually allow recovery

The people who make real progress year after year aren’t chasing soreness.

They’re following a structure. They’re respecting recovery.

And they’re building something.

⛳️𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿. 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿. 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹.

Here’s what golfers should (and shouldn’t) be doing in the gym…..

Do ✅

- Follow the plan. It’s there for a reason and progressing it is where you will see positive adaptions.
- Lift weights. Doing so will help you get stronger, leading to more distance, a more robust golf swing and the reduced risk of injury.
- Jump, throw, slam and rotate with maximum intensity to make sure you’re getting the most from those movements.
- Work on your mobility…but don’t forgot about your strength and power work.
- Prioritise compound movements (squats, deadlifts, rows). These will give you the foundations to progress all other areas of your training.
- Do it for yourself.

Don’t ❌

- Be afraid to perform heavy lifts. Getting strong is a must!
- Don’t make the mistake in thinking that all of the exercises you do should all look like a part of your golf swing. A lot of them will look fancy, but a lot of golfers just simply need to get stronger first.
- Don’t skip lower body exercises. The force that your body creates starts from the ground!
- Don’t think the ONLY key to improving your golf game is flexibility.
- Don’t train like a bodybuilder. Train to be more athletic.

As well as spending time on the driving range working on your game, your performance can also be built through structured strength and conditioning in the gym.

As a coach, I help golfers bridge the gap between the gym and the course by developing the physical qualities that directly impact performance.

My framework for developing golfers is this 👇🏻

• Power…for greater clubhead speed and distance.
• Strength…for a more efficient swing.
• Mobility…for better positions and movement quality.
• Stability and control…for consistent ball striking.
• Resilience…to reduce injury risk and stay on the course.

Whether you’re looking to hit the ball further, improve consistency, or play pain-free, training with intent can make a significant difference to your game.

When I first started training, I thought every session had to be about pushing harder, pushing until I hated it, and chasing the feeling of being “sore” after every workout.

Too many people treat training like a box to tick off a to-do list…

something that they “have to” get through.

If every session feels like a chore, it won’t last very long.

Training should be something you look forward to.

It should challenge you, but it should also energize you, give you confidence, and leave you wanting more.

When you enjoy the process…

🔹Consistency stops being a struggle.
🔹Progress happens naturally.
🔹Training becomes part of your life, not just a short-term plan.

Fitness shouldn’t be seen as punishment.

It’s a privilege. It’s your chance to move, to grow stronger, and to find out what your body is capable of.

Don’t chase the perfect workout.

Chase the one you’ll keep coming back to.

Because the best program in the world means nothing if you hate doing it.
