Author: Mike Carroll April 2, 2025 Duration: 18:10

You can't just enter the gym and load the bar with the heaviest weight you can lift. 
You must ramp up to your work sets. This will help reduce injury risk and increase strength gains. 


Mike Carroll hosts Fit For Golf, a series of discussions that digs into the practical connections between physical conditioning and your performance on the course. It moves beyond generic swing tips to explore how building strength, improving mobility, and managing your overall health directly translate to more powerful drives, a resilient body, and lower scores. Each episode feels like a candid conversation with knowledgeable guests and Mike’s own expertise, breaking down complex topics into actionable advice you can use. You’ll hear about tailored workout strategies for golfers of all ages, injury prevention, nutrition for energy and recovery, and the mental aspects of training. This isn't just about gym routines; it's about constructing a lifestyle that supports your game for the long term. Tune into this podcast for honest talk that makes the often-overwhelming worlds of fitness and golf feel accessible and directly relevant, helping you build a body that’s truly fit for the game you love.
