Deadlift
The deadlift is one of the best full-body strength builders. It teaches you how to hinge at the hips, engage your glutes, and lift with control. For golfers, it’s a great way to build power from the ground up while reinforcing posture and spinal stability—all essential for a strong and consistent swing.
