I spend 1.5-2 hours in the gym doing powerlifting workouts with bodybuilding style accessories.

I do general mobility work for shoulders, hips and t spine.

These are for general health as well as my other hobby.

There are multiple ways to train to get stronger, but doing a squat movement (barbell squat, hack squat,  leg press, goblet squat) a pressing movement (flat bench, incline bench, overhead press) and a hinge movement (deadlift, deadlift variation should be included in all resistance training. Strength is going to come from doing reps in the 3-6 range with a progressive overload. But adding in higher rep stuff for accessories is going to help as well. 
 

For mobility work things like the McGill big 3 and the worlds greatest stretch 

for hips tactical frog, hip airplanes, hip flexor stretch and clam shells

For shoulders wall walk, wall angles, car cow, scapular car

for t spine use a foam roller for t spine stretch, the worlds greatest stretch, foam roll the lats

Have worked on two different golf routines, when I show up at the course do a mobility routine of:

  • squat (try to get butt below knees) into back stretch move,  bend at hips and go forward to touch ground -move side to side,  shoulder openers, and warrior 2 (yoga) move on both sides.  This gets hips, shoulders, and back open.  Note that if late to course have found this is more important than hitting a few balls.

Then 3 times a week in gym: 

  • squats, arms work, forearms work, legs work, shoulders work. Specific to golf,  do a dumbbell swing, single arm shoulder press from kneeling (both sides) and kneeling low to high with dumbbell (both sides).      

     This I believe, also with solid technique, is the only way I can keep swinging at plus 110 mph at my age.

Do 12-ounce curls count?  When I really want to feel the burn, I go with the 16-ounce cans.
