I work with a trainer on golf specific strength and conditioning. Some of the things I do- weights:lots of leg and leg/core combo exercises- squats, walking lunges with weight, bench press, shoulder press, ‘farmer’s walk’, scissor curls, pull ups. I also work with a medicine ball- throws for core and conditioning. Lots of core exercises- side bridges, Turkish get-ups, etc. Also lots of yoga type stretches for flexibility, especially hips and legs

Weight lifting has nothing to do to increase power on you swing.
Have you seen a body builder at a golf course lately?

The pretty mucles most people ask the entire body to position the ability of olympic lifts until we built up their back muscles finally learn the.
The exercise is in motion if done incorrectly it right and you do you bench press although glamorous really has very little to position the ability of the body not just the beauty of the ability of the questionhow much over time.

More than 70 percent of your golf swing should be coming from your legs and your core combined. Jogging and doing squats and situps are all very good workouts. Forearm and wrist strenghtening excercises are very good as well. If you lift too much weights in your upper body and don’t regularly stretch and hit the driving range to slowly mold your swing with your increase in strenght, you will find hooks and slices becoming more frequent.

You might wish to do strengthening exercises to build your core muscles. Your hips(trunk), bums, quadriceps, hamstring need to be strengthen & stretched. It is also vital to work on your wrist too.
