Ive created this log to help track my progress and keep me accountable.

Goals:

I am a PGA golf professional and looking to get back into competition in my s cation this season after almost 6 years away. I'm looking to improve my mobility, stability through the midsection and create and strong foundation in my legs to provide my swing with more power. I'm looking to return my club head speed to a minimum of 115mph which is where I was during my competitive seasons in college.

Strength Goals:

300lb deadlift
100 Kb swing in 5 minutes with my 24kg bell

Plan:

I will be following PTTP 2 days per week and S&S 2 days per week. I will keep my pressing strength with a kb military press and getups lighter with 5 second holds in each position.

I will utilize pressing reset drills for my mobility/flexibility/warmup routine and the passive stretches from S&S nightly. On S&S days I will do the goblet squats to warm up also.

I have had a very difficult time the past few years sticking to a program long enough to see results. I plan to ease in very slowly and make sure my form is perfect before I really push myself hard. I plan to test at 3 months (April 1) on my progress. Right now the most I could push myself on the deadlift was 205lbs.

Wish me luck!
 
Best of luck reaching your goals Jason!

Starting a log is a good way to stay motivated and track your progress.

I see your training will involve a fair degree of bilateral work in fixed plane ie deadlifts, there will be some rotational stabilisation work with the TGU's and one handed swings from S&S but not a great deal of dynamic rotation work.

Have you considered adding some rotational aspect to your training ?

Maybe some landmines or sandbag work could have a place in your training.

Indian clubs are good way to incorporate some rotational work that could compliment the heavier stuff and be beneficial to a golfer too.

All the best, I hope you do well and maybe even get a tour card some time soon.

Thanks @Tarzan. I do a lot of medicine ball work for my practice drills. So I do get some rotational work from that. I'm usually doing somewhere around 100 rotations with just a basketball right now to sync up my arms with my torso daily so I was a little afraid of adding an additional rotational move!
 
Hi JGP718, I'm a golfer too, minus the talent.

That being said, I have taken my CHS up to 110 with StrongFirst material. You might not need it, but if you want more turn check out the bent press. Instant thoracic opener.

Best of luck.

Really like the feeling the S&S program gives me. I'm thinking I may focus just on that and suspend my deadlift goals until I've achieved at least simple. I'm also really focusing on my t-spine mobility to help my golf swing. The self test from the movement book revealed my upper torso rotation to be really poor.
