ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Today I’m joined again by Mike Carroll, the creator of Fit For Golf. His brand is one of the most respected golf strength & conditioning programs in the world. He has helped thousands of golfers increase speed, improve mobility, build strength, and play injury-free with science-based training that fits real life.

Building a Weekly Routine: A look into Mike's personal weekly schedule, balancing strength, cardio, and sprinting.
The Quest for 130 MPH: Mike's personal goal for increasing his swing speed and the factors required to achieve higher clubhead speeds.
Off-Season Programming: How to structure training across body composition, max strength, and peak power phases during the off-season.
Busting Fitness & Recovery Myths: Insights on popular workout classes, why ice baths might actually hinder long-term adaptations, and why basic sleep and nutrition remain the best recovery tools.
And more golf fitness tips.
