Fast med ball sit ups that build concentric trunk power, the ability golfers use to whip the torso through impact.

Why it matters for golf
The trunk is the link between the lower body and the club. Training the sit up explosively teaches the abs to produce force fast, not just hold position. That carries into a quicker, better supported torso turn.
Coaching cues
- Drive up fast, lower down slow.
- Keep the ball controlled, no swinging it for momentum.
- Exhale hard on the way up.
- Stop the set when the speed drops.
Common faults
- Yanking the neck to start the rep.
- Using arm swing instead of the trunk.
- Slow, grinding reps instead of fast intent.
