The Rise Golf Program

With spring hopefully around the corner, many of our clients are looking forward to time out on the course. We love that they are outside and active playing golf, and maybe even walking a couple of holes too.

After the success of last year’s Rise Golf Program, we are excited to offer it to our members again!

Unlike last year’s program, which lasted four weeks, this year’s program is an eight-week program split into two parts. In this blog, we want to give you an overview of the program and some of the thought that was put into it.

Program overview

As we mentioned above, the golf program will now consist of eight weeks broken up into two four-week phases. Each four-week phase will consist of three workouts.

Clients who typically train four or five days a week are still encouraged to participate in the golf program! In this case, we will assign bonus mobility or conditioning days based on the client’s goals and preferences, but the three core strength days will remain the same.

The workouts themselves will focus on building strength and power in all of our standard movement patterns, while also specifically biasing rotational power and mobility of the upper spine, shoulders, and hips. Pods one and two will focus on strength and power development, with pod three being specifically devoted to mobility.

The programs themselves are preset with specific movements and exercises, but can be adjusted if necessary to accommodate a client’s needs or limitations.

Phase one of the program will focus on building foundational strength, while the second phase will build on that foundation by biasing power output. The mobility work will remain the same across each phase to promote better adaptations.

The intention behind the program

We want to be very clear: this is a golf-specific program, not a golf-only program. What that means is that this program is designed to help with golf-specific demands without neglecting the other core components of resistance training that we already emphasize in our philosophy.

This means we will continue to use exercises that we use in non-golf-specific programs. Because we believe that individuals who build stronger legs through squats, deadlifts, and single-leg work and a stronger torso through presses and pulls will be better prepared and stronger on the course.

Where this program is most specifically biased toward golf is through the emphasis on rotational power and mobility in the hips, upper spine, and shoulders- each of which is fundamental to the golf swing.

We also want to be clear that there are no “secret” exercises that will magically make you a scratch golfer. If you want to get specifically better at golf, the best way to do that is to simply play more or connect with a professional golf coach. This program should be viewed as supplemental to your golf game.

However, we can tell you that if you follow this program with the correct intensity and consistency, you will feel better and hit farther than you would have otherwise.
