Know anywhere to get some good Golf specific workouts? PM me if you do
The key to any specific workout training for a sport is to recreate the motions you use with that sport with resistance. For golf, a lot of cables are use in recreating the swing. It is also essential to build up hip strength, upper leg strength, core strength, and core flexibility for optimal drive. In addition forearm strength helps with control of the club and allows for more accurate shots.
I would recommend sticking to a very basic plan if you are training STRICTLY for golf.
Day 1 - recreate swinging using a cable machine with light-medium weight @ 10 sets of 8-15 reps (going up in weight), recreate swing with just one arm @ 5 sets per arm using light-medium weight @ 8-15 reps (going up in weight), Squats 5 sets of 8-12 reps medium-heavy weight, alternating weighted crunches 5 sets at 8-15 reps (medium weight), hanging leg raises 5 sets @ 20 reps each, wrist curls 5 sets @ 8-15 reps of medium weight, seated DB hammer curls 5 sets @ 8-15 reps of medium weight, Hip abductor and adductor machine 3 sets of each @ 8-12 reps each medium/heavy weight.
Day 2 - OFF (practice golf or work on cardio)
Day 3 - OFF (practice golf or work on cardio)
Day 4 - REPEAT DAY 1
Day 5 - OFF (practice golf or work on cardio)
Day 6 - OFF (practice golf or work on cardio)
Day 7 - REPEAT DAY 1
