The Best Squat for Golf Featuring Scott Stallings

To maximize his training time, PGA Tour player Scott Stallings performs an Overhead Squat with coaching by Kurt Hester, national director of training for D1 Sports.

The Overhead Squat is a great exercise for improving flexibility of the ankles, hips and shoulders as well as developing core stability and absolute strength. To properly perform the Overhead Squat, Stallings presses out against the collar of the barbell with his hands, which helps him achieve complete shoulder flexibility, allowing him to lower into the Squat and reach full range of motion. Stallings continues to press out against the barbell as he lowers into and explodes up from the Squat, keeping his shoulders tight and arms straight. He completes three sets of five reps of the Overhead Squat.
