Golf Performance Boost

8 weeks
Split: Push/Pull/Legs
Goal: Athletic Performance

Program Description

An 8-week advanced Push/Pull/Legs program designed to enhance mobility, rotational power, and muscle twitch response crucial for golf performance. The focus is on balanced volume, moderate intensity, and functional movements using bodyweight, dumbbells, kettlebells, and medicine balls. The program prioritizes injury prevention, stability, and muscular reinforcement to support a smooth, powerful golf swing while maintaining mobility and reducing fatigue.

Weeks

Week 1

This week focuses on establishing foundational strength and mobility with moderate volume, emphasizing controlled movements and stability to support rotational power and muscle twitch response. The exercises are selected to enhance core stability, shoulder mobility, and rotational control, all crucial for a senior golfer. Volume is balanced to prevent fatigue while promoting neuromuscular activation, setting the stage for progressive overload in subsequent weeks.

Week 2

This week focuses on gradually increasing volume and challenging rotational and stability muscles to enhance golf-specific power and mobility. Moderate intensity (65-75%) is maintained to reinforce proper movement patterns, improve twitch muscle response, and support joint health. Exercises emphasize rotational control, core stability, and muscular endurance, preparing for more dynamic drills in upcoming weeks.

Week 3

This week emphasizes controlled, moderate-volume training to enhance rotational stability, muscular twitch response, and mobility essential for golf performance. Reps are increased slightly to promote muscular endurance and control, with a focus on functional movements that support rotation and stability. Exercises are selected to improve core engagement, rotational power, and joint mobility while maintaining injury prevention. The session length remains around 30 minutes, with a balanced approach to volume and intensity to reinforce neuromuscular coordination and muscular endurance.

Week 4

This week emphasizes moderate volume with controlled intensity to enhance rotational stability, muscle twitch response, and mobility essential for a powerful and smooth golf swing. Focus is on reinforcing foundational strength, improving rotational control, and maintaining joint health through functional movements. The exercises are designed to progressively challenge stability and rotational capacity while preserving mobility, with an emphasis on proper form and controlled effort to prevent fatigue and injury.

Week 5

This week maintains moderate volume with controlled intensity to reinforce mobility, rotational strength, and muscular twitch response essential for golf performance. Focus is on enhancing stability, rotational power, and muscle endurance through functional movements. The training emphasizes proper form, movement quality, and neuromuscular control to support injury prevention and optimize swing mechanics, while gradually increasing volume to promote adaptation without overloading the joints or muscles.

Week 6

This week emphasizes increasing strength and rotational power while maintaining mobility and muscular twitch response crucial for golf. Volume is progressively higher with controlled intensity (~70-75%), focusing on stability, mobility, and dynamic rotational movements. Exercises are selected to reinforce core stability, improve thoracic rotation, and enhance twitch muscle response, supporting injury prevention and performance enhancement for senior golfers.

Week 7

This week emphasizes explosive rotational power, stability, and muscular twitch response to optimize golf swing performance. Volume is at its peak, with controlled moderate intensity to enhance neuromuscular coordination and mobility. Exercises focus on rotational movements, unilateral stability, and dynamic strength to reinforce weak points and support injury prevention. The program aims to maximize muscle activation and coordination while maintaining mobility and reducing fatigue, preparing for peak performance.

Week 8

This final week emphasizes maintaining strength, mobility, and rotational control with moderate volume and controlled intensity. The focus is on reinforcing neuromuscular coordination, supporting golf-specific movements, and ensuring recovery while preserving gains. Exercises are selected to enhance muscle twitch response, rotational power, and joint stability, all crucial for optimal golf performance. The volume remains consistent to solidify adaptations without overloading, preparing the body for recovery and ongoing progress.
