Andrew Ransom - Golfer's Edge

**Why golfers over 40 should ditch back squats for single-leg training.**

Still doing endless back squats thinking they'll improve your golf game?

Here's the problem: your golf swing is completely asymmetrical, but you're training both legs at the same time.

Your swing happens with weight shifting from one leg to the other. Your balance, power, and stability all depend on single-leg strength.

**The back squat issues for golfers:**

→ Loads a compressed spine under heavy weight

→ Can aggravate tight hips and lower backs

→ Doesn't address balance deficits

→ No carryover to rotational movement patterns

**Why single-leg training wins:**

The research is clear. Unilateral training reduces injury risk by 23%, improves balance and stability, and has direct transfer to rotational sports like golf.

When you're in your downswing, you're essentially on one leg generating massive rotational force. Train for that reality.

**The single-leg essentials every golfer needs:**

→ Bulgarian split squats for leg strength

→ Single-leg RDLs for balance and posterior chain

→ Lateral lunges for hip mobility

→ Step-ups for functional power

My client Mark switched from heavy back squats to single-leg training. Result?

Better balance, zero back pain, and 15 yards more distance in 8 weeks.

**The bottom line:**

Train like your swing demands. Asymmetrical sport requires asymmetrical training.

Your hips, back, and golf scores will thank you.

"I went from embarrassed to eagles in 12 weeks."

Rob came to me shooting low 90s after a 10-year break from golf.

He was frustrated, embarrassed, and honestly questioning if he'd ever get his game back.

"I used to shoot high 70s and low 80s consistently. Now I can barely break 90. My body feels different, my swing feels off, and I'm just not enjoying golf anymore."

Sound familiar?

Here's what we discovered during Rob's movement assessment:

→ Severe hip mobility restrictions limiting his turn → Weak glutes causing power leaks in his swing

→ Poor shoulder stability affecting his consistency → Zero endurance for walking 18 holes

We didn't just work on his fitness. We rebuilt his golf body from the ground up.

**The results came fast:**

Week 2: First round under 90 in months Week 4: Shot an 84, then an 80 Week 8: Broke into the 70s with a 78 Week 12: Career round of 76 and his first eagle in years

But here's what really matters:

"The program has unfrozen my mobility and made golf fun again. I'm playing the best golf of my life, hitting it 10 yards longer, and walking 36 holes every Tuesday without getting tired. It's added years to my game."

Rob went from avoiding golf trips with his buddies to leading the group again.

That's what happens when you address the real problem - your body.
