Which lift type is the golfer's lift?

• A. One leg stance lift
• B. Deep Squat lift
• C. Stoop lift
• D. Power lift

Answer: (A)

Lifting stances describe how your body is positioned to pick up a load. The golfer's lift is performed with balance on a single supporting leg, often with the other leg slightly behind or off the floor, and the hips hinge to bring the load up close to the body. That single-leg balance matches the one-leg stance lift, where the lift relies on a hip hinge and core to raise the object while standing on one leg.

This differs from the deep squat lift, which uses two feet planted and a deep knee bend; the stoop lift, which keeps the spine flexed with mostly a straight back and both feet on the ground; and the power lift, which involves lifting with both legs with a more vertical torso and a strong leg drive. The key idea is balance on one leg and a hip-dominant lift, mirroring the golfer’s posture during the swing. Keep the load close to your body and avoid twisting to protect your back.
