What does strength training for golf mean in my week?
I still squat. I still press. Golf does not get to fire the rest of the program.
The version that lasted was boring: after the main lifts, two to four moves that look like golf if you squint. Cable or band chops. A pallof press. A single-leg RDL. Maybe a med-ball throw if I am in a gym that has one and I am not in anyone's way.
That is the strength training for golf I actually did more than twice.
Why did a golf-only plan fall apart?
I tried the identity swap. "I am a golfer who lifts" turned into "I do weird rotational circuits and skip the stuff that makes me stronger." Then I was a golfer who was weaker, which is a cute way to say I was worse at both.
A supplement is honest. A second program is a fantasy about time I do not have.
Where do I put the golf block?
End of the session. The heavy stuff is done. I am warm. I am not using rotational throws as a warmup for squats, which is a thing I watched myself do once and then did not repeat.
In the app this is a checkbox. Sport on, sport off. Match day, off. Tuesday night in the gym, on.
What do I refuse to put in the golf block?
Slow grinders. Curl finishers. Extra overhead pressing the day before I play. If it does not rotate, resist rotation, or live on one leg, it can wait for the main program.
How this shows up on a normal Thursday
Main lifts for the day. Then three golf moves, two sets, done. I log them like anything else. They count. They are not a separate personality.
