Iron Neck Training for Golfers

The primary goal of this program is for golfers to improve the strength and stability of their neck and spine-supporting muscles to mitigate risk of future injury.

Program: See detailed program below. Each day’s program should be performed for two (2) sets. The first set should be at a low, yet challenging resistance. The second set should be at an increased resistance (standing 6-12” farther back).

Once the golfer has progressed through these 8 sessions, programming should be evaluated to assess which exercises and mixes of exercises are most effective for each golfer’s training.
