Pull Ups
Strict pull ups. Upper back and lat strength that stabilize the shoulders and support club control.

Why it matters for golf
The lats tie the arms to the trunk and help deliver trunk rotation into the club. Pull ups build that connection plus grip and shoulder durability. A strong upper back also balances all the flexed, forward positions golf puts the body in.
Coaching cues
- Full hang to start every rep.
- Drive the elbows down and back.
- Chin clears the bar without reaching.
- Lower with control.
Common faults
- Kipping or half range reps.
- Shrugging to the ears instead of pulling with the lats.
