Defensemen
Keep the block moving.
← Previous sessionWeek 1 · Squat & PushLearn the squat, build the press and the row that balances it, and finish with the groin and trunk work every skater needs. The jump that opens it is landing practice as much as takeoff. Week 1 is a technique week. Pick weights that feel too light and finish every set knowing three more reps were there.Next session →Week 1 · Lateral Power & ConditioningEverything that keeps a gap tight: lateral power off both edges, sideways and backward sled work, loaded rotation for the point shot, and longer intervals for the longer shifts a defenseman plays. Week 1 is a technique week. Pick weights that feel too light and finish every set knowing three more reps were there.
