Deadlift
publicThe Strength test in the DRVN Fitness Test — how much force a golfer can produce against an external load while maintaining posture and control. Strength is the base: power is built on it, speed is expressed through it, durability depends on it.
Preferred variation: Trap Bar (Hex Bar) Deadlift — better joint positioning, more upright torso, reduced spinal shear. Measures maximal force output relative to bodyweight, expressed with control (clean lockout + controlled eccentric). Form breaks → test stops.
Scoring — 1 Rep Max (relative to bodyweight)
| Score | Men | Women / Senior / Junior |

| 4 | 125% | 100% |
| 5 | 150% | 125% |
