Lift Heavy, Swing Fast

Coach
Cody Wescott

This is Golf Strong! If you want to be one of the strongest golfers on the course, this program is for you. We are taking the tried and true method of 5 x 5 training and adding in some Golf Specific Exercises to make you the strongest golfer on the course.

5 x 5 means that for the compound lifts (Squat, Press, Row etc..) we will perform 5 sets of 5 reps, using progressive overload principles to add weight to the bar every workout.

This program is not for the weak or anyone not truly committed to adding serious strength. Golf Strong is 3 days of heavy lifting, with a rest day in between, with a mobility day programmed and a Golf Specific workout after your 3 days of heavy lifting. This program includes two alternating weeks of workouts that can be done for up to 12 weeks and at a minimum of 4-6 weeks.

We believe that strong golfers and strong athletes are simply better at the game and life.

If you are not experienced with the barbell, this is a great place to start, but will require starting very light at first to master technique.

FAQs
Do I need a gym membership?
We recommend full gym access for Golf Strong, but you don't necessarily need a gym membership if you have a barbell, pull-up bar, dumbbells, bench, box, and bands.
What is golf fitness?
Golf fitness is more than just doing movements that mimic the golf swing. Fitness is about being strong, mobile, and powerful and CWG Fitness delivers that in all of our programming. We are all about the simple, yet most effective movements that will get you stronger and leave you pain free.
What if I don't know how to perform a movement?
We have a library of 100s of movements so you don't need to worry about doing any movements wrong or needing to look them up yourself. We also offer scaling options for some movements that you may prefer to use depending on your fitness level.
How long do the workouts take?
The strength days take about 75 minutes, Saturday's workout and mobility workouts take about 30 minutes.
What if I have programming questions?
Post them in the App Chat - we always give detailed responses and, that way other members can also see answers to questions that they may also have! We believe that education goes a lot further than just prescribing workouts. We can help you understand the WHY behind the movements we prescribe.
