Why it matters for golf
This is the same trap bar pull loaded heavy for low reps. Top end pulling strength raises the ceiling for power work and swing speed, and it is how a golfer moves their DRVN deadlift test number.
Coaching cues
- Treat every rep like a max, full setup each time.
- Big brace before the pull.
- Push the floor away and stand fast.
- End the set when positions break down.
Common faults
- Grinding reps with a rounding back.
- Setup gets sloppy as fatigue builds.
- Losing the brace at lockout.
