Back Squat: Full-Range Strength, Power & Mobility Training to Boost Golf Performance

Key Points

• • The back squat is an advanced lower body strength exercise that uses a barbell (15–20kg) and a full range of motion.
• • When done correctly, the back squat also improves hip and lower back mobility — critical for injury-prone areas in golfers.
• • It’s highly effective for developing strength, power, and muscle mass, all of which directly support clubhead speed, injury prevention, and overall golf performance.
    
    
• • Due to its depth and load, it’s not ideal for those with knee, hip, or back issues — but regressions are available.
