Upper Body. The primary muscles in the upper body that are used when performing a golf swing are the shoulders and back muscles. As with all muscles involved in the swing, it is important for the upper-body muscles to be both fit and flexible.
The Target Muscle. The primary muscle recruited in the shoulder press is the anterior deltoid, which is the front section of your shoulder muscle. The anterior deltoid originates at your clavicle and then runs down the front of your shoulder and inserts at the top of your humerus, or upper arm bone.
