Chris breaks down one of the most talked-about medications in the country - and what nobody is telling golfers who are on it.

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic are delivering real weight loss results, but up to 40% of that weight loss comes directly from lean muscle mass - the same muscle that drives club head speed, powers rotation, and keeps you off the injury list. Chris walks through what the data actually shows, why it's possible to lose weight and get fatter at the same time, and exactly what to do about it if you want to protect your golf game while you're on these medications.

If you or someone you play with is on a GLP-1 and nobody has talked to you about strength training, protein targets, or baseline testing - this episode is for you.

In this episode:

• Why up to 40% of GLP-1 weight loss comes from muscle - not fat
• How to lose weight and actually get fatter at the same time
• The four movements that matter most when your energy and calories are limited
• Why protein intake is harder - and more important - on GLP-1s than most people realize
• How to track what you're actually losing so your golf game doesn't pay the price

Chris sits down with Golf Digest Top International Teacher Andreas Kali - a coach who has produced DP World Tour and LPGA Tour winners, multiple NCAA All-Americans, and two national championships - to talk about what actually separates great ball strikers from everyone else.

Andreas breaks down his three-part framework for diagnosing any golfer at any level - from the 25-handicapper to the tour pro he watched at Valspar last week - and the one fundamental that matters more than grip, alignment, or swing plane. He also gets into how he builds junior players from once-a-week beginners into touring professionals, why autonomy in practice matters more than structured drills, and how body changes during growth spurts affect movement patterns in ways that follow a player for life.

If you have been watching your swing on your phone and trying to fix things that aren't actually the problem, this episode is for you.

In this episode:

• The three fundamentals every ball striker must control - and the one most amateurs never address
• Why where the club bottoms out matters more than how you hold it
• What Sergio Garcia and Tommy Fleetwood do that most amateurs do the opposite of
• How the Danish Junior Golf Academy develops tour players without a full-time physical trainer
• Why physical training for golfers is really about longevity and practice capacity - not just speed

AI can now analyze your golf swing in seconds. But the real question is—should you trust it?

In this episode of the Golf Fitness Bomb Squad, Chris Finn shares a clear, no-hype breakdown of where AI fits into golf performance today—and where it still falls short.

You’ll learn:

• What AI actually gets right when analyzing your swing
• Why it struggles to understand context, intent, and your physical capabilities
• The difference between swing analysis and true coaching
• How missing the “why” and “how” can lead to bad advice
• Why most AI tools today only get you to the “right stadium”, not your exact solution
• How to use AI as a supplement to coaching, not a replacement

If you’re already experimenting with AI, or thinking about it, this episode will help you use it smarter and avoid the biggest pitfalls.

In this episode of The Golf Fitness Bomb Squad, Chris Finn sits down with Ryan Webb—Director of Instruction at Northridge Country Club in Raleigh and one of the most dialed-in coaches in North Carolina—to break down the real bridge between golf fitness and swing instruction.

Ryan explains why most golfers chase the wrong fixes (the “4-to-5” move) while ignoring what actually drives everything: setup, trail-side loading, and sequencing. You’ll hear how he uses resistance and “feeding the problem” drills (reactive neuromuscular training) to create instant, no-fluff feel—so your brain learns the motion faster than any swing thought ever could.

They walk through common swing faults seen in everyday golfers—pressure in the toes, poor trail-hip rotation, “twisting” instead of loading, steep hand paths, and early extension—and the exact drills Ryan uses to clean them up. Then they go a level deeper: what changes when you’re already a good player, and why higher-level golfers often need more mobility and better shoulder/pelvis timing to match their speed.

Watch this one on YouTube—Ryan demos the drills and the swing breakdowns are heavily visual.

Got a member-member, member-guest, or golf trip coming up? The question isn’t just “Can you play?” — it’s “Can your body hold up for multiple days in a row?”

In this episode of the Golf Fitness Bomb Squad, Chris Finn breaks down how tour players prepare for events like The Masters — and how you can apply the same principles to your next multi-day tournament.

You’ll learn:

• Why mobility (your “frame and suspension”) is the first thing that breaks down

• How to assess rotational mobility in your hips, thoracic spine, and shoulders

• The difference between long-term preparation (building your engine) and short-term recovery strategies

• The exact 10–15 minute post-round recovery routine that can make a huge difference the next day

• How soft tissue work, light aerobic recovery, and smart strength work keep pros fresh

Whether you have 10 weeks to prepare or your event starts tomorrow, this episode gives you a practical game plan to play strong from round one through the final putt.

If you’re an equipment junkie (or you’ve ever wondered if a fitting is actually worth it), this episode is for you.

Chris Finn sits down with Nick Sherburne, founder and CEO of Club Champion, to break down what most golfers still don’t understand about fitting: it’s not about buying shiny new clubs - it’s about building a data-driven bag that helps you lower your scores.

Nick shares the origin story of Club Champion - from a high school range job at Cog Hill, to a garage hobby with a retired club tinkerer, to a two-store grind, to a single round at Olympia Fields that sparked the blueprint for what became a 150+ location fitting powerhouse.

They get into:

• What a true full bag fitting actually is (and why most golfers misunderstand it)

• Why “I’m not good enough to get fit” is a myth (the ball doesn’t know your handicap)

• How fittings help eliminate your worst misses - not just optimize your best swings

• The real reason your new speed gains can break your driver

• Why stock shafts aren’t “bad”… they’re just built for the masses

• The next frontier: AI-assisted fitting and using on-course data (Arccos-style tracking) to keep your bag optimized over time

If you’ve ever chased distance, fought a big miss, or felt like your clubs don’t match your swing anymore - this episode will change how you think about equipment.

To start: get your full bag fitting blueprint at Club Champion, and pair it with the free P4S home assessment at par4success.com so your body and your bag finally work together.

What if aging didn’t mean losing speed?

In this episode of the Golf Fitness Bomb Squad, Chris Finn breaks down the long game of physical development — and why most golfers are playing it wrong. While the average golfer loses up to 10 mph per decade, those who follow the right process lose closer to 2 mph… and often gain 6–10 mph in their first year.

Chris walks through the Performance Pyramid that’s helped golfers in their 70s and 80s swing faster than they did 15 years ago:

• Why rotational mobility is the foundation

• How strength protects speed as elasticity declines

• The relationship between strength, power, and clubhead speed

• Where transfer training blends fitness with instruction

• Why speed training only works if you’ve built the base

If you want to play great golf into your 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond, this episode gives you the framework to build — and maintain — a body that supports your game for the long haul.
