The hip hinge is a fundamental movement pattern that is important for golfers to train. The ‘Hip hinge’ is a movement that is used to help generate power through the hips & develop the big posterior chain muscles. The same movement mechanics are used in many exercises such as the deadlift & RDL. Shown here by @DPWorldTour & @PGATOUR pro @TommyFleetwood1 performing a single leg hip hinge with opposite arm lift as part of his warm up here at the #TeamCup It is a great exercise to work on leg/trunk/shoulder/rotational strength, control & stability

‼️Why this 1 EXERCISE should be in YOUR training plan for better sports performance ‼️ ‘Staggered stance good mornings’ are a massively underutilised exercise 💪🏻 Big bang for buck exercise that can drive some big adaptations ✅ Posterior chain facilitation ✅ Hip deceleration control and triple joint force production ✅ Trunk on pelvis load control ✅ Stability under load Consider adding this to your programming and reap the rewards !

Med ball slams and throws are a staple component of our golfers S&C programmes. With the upper body moving at such high speeds during the golf swing, high velocity exercises like medicine ball slams/throws are essential within golf training programmes to complement upper body strength training.

Side plank shoulder catches are a great exercise for people wanting to work on rapid eccentric force development of the shoulder while also working anti-side flexion core strength. Golfers ask a lot of their shoulders, and this exercise is a great one to maintain health in this important area. Shown here by @TommyFleetwood1 training at this weeks @BMWPGA

A glimpse into the players gym here @TheOpen this week as players are warming up for their rounds 😃💪🏼🏌🏻‍♂️⛳️ #TheOpenChampionship

Swedish golfer @VincentNorrman is a very strong athlete. With a positive takeoff impulse of 456N.s, Vincent is well within the top 5% on tour for his lower limb explosive strength. Being able to generate so much force so quickly through his lower body helps him to produce clubhead speeds close to 130mph. Shown here using force plates for testing here @ScottishOpen with @Etpi S&C coach @DrDanCoughlan

Missed cuts are one most professional golfers biggest frustrations. But every missed cut also presents opportunities. 2 days extra off competitive golf allows a golfer to add volume & or intensity to their training programmes between tournaments. Here in Belgium @DPWorldTour pro @PengeMarco adds a bonus training session to his weekly plan which focussed on increasing his training volume over a range of compound lifts.

Another week of incredible driving statistics for Rory as he wins again on the @PGATOUR 🤯🙌🏻👌🏼💪🏼🏌🏻‍♂️🚀⛳️ Developing strong legs & powerful hip & knee extension as well as increasing your rate of force development is important for golfers Using contrast training with heavy lifts and jumps as shown here by @McIlroyRory is a great way to do this. @DPWorldTour – at Virginia Water, South East

Huge impulse increase for @RhysEnoch1 in the last season from 286->386 n.s and this type of training is what will get you there - loaded jumps. Seen here training with @Etpi S&C coach @WSWayland this week on the @Challenge_Tour 🚀⛳️ – at United Arab Emirates

Incorporating heavy lifts with ballistic exercises like BB/DB chest press and med ball throws/ slams like this video of @McIlroyRory training @TheOpen last year, is a great way to train the chest /shoulders for golfers 💪🏼🏌🏻‍♂️⛳️ – at Scotland, United Kingdom

Great to see @Dylan_Frittelli back in the winners circle last week in Bahrain @DPWorldTour Dylan as been working hard on his physical preparation for a number of years, supported by our @etpi team including S&C coach @DrDanCoughlan Dylan is incredibly consistent, he takes nutrition, recovery & training seriously. For him, like with many players, it's about longevity & health as well as performance, and forms part of his lifestyle as a modern professional golfer. In our testing among all DP World Tour players, he's currently in the top 10% for strength and top 25% for explosive strength, which probably also helped him achieve over a 320y average drive distance this week in Bahrain! – at Virginia Water, South East

Congratulations on your @Challenge_Tour win last week in South Africa @RhysEnoch1 👏🏼👏🏼 There are many ways to approach in-tournament training. For the first time, this week Rhys was trialling a micro-dose approach with @Etpi coach @DrDanCoughlan This is where you complete 5-6 mini gym sessions each week (often done before practice & play). Rhys was trying this out because he’s noticed that he feels and performs better after his gym sessions. Clearly he wasn’t wrong! 🏆 Don’t be fooled, these sessions are more than just a light physical warm-up. Across the week Rhys was squatting, jumping, throwing, doing heavy upper body lifts and accessory exercises. All while keeping volumes low, and intensities high. On average he completed 4-5 exercises per day (and trained, thurs, fri, sat& Sun of the tournament week!) – at South Africa

Loaded vertical jumps form a key part of the S&C training for our golfers. They help increase your lower limb jump impulse which has been strongly associated with club head speed in both professional & amateur golfers. Shown here by @DPWorldTour pro @grantforrest93 – at United Kingdom

A split stance RDL offers more stability than a single leg RDL - which means you can load it up & challenge your unilateral leg strength Shown here by @DPWorldTour pro & winner of this weeks #AusPGA @Minwoo27Lee – at United Kingdom

The Neck is an often overlooked part of the body when it comes to training, but this area of the body accounts for nearly 20% of injuries in golf. It is important that golfers make their necks strong and robust. Bench Neck Isometrics like this, are a great neck option that can be done just about anywhere. – at Virginia Water, South East
