Romanian Deadlift
3 × 8 reps · rest 2 min
0/3
Hips back, bar close, spine long. Moderate load — a goalie never needs a max in season.

Week 4 · Session A · Strength Maintenance
In-season strength for a goalie who has the training age for more of it: one hinge, one squat pattern owned through full range, honest pulling, and adductors trained twice before you leave. Elite dose: one more working set on every lift, jump and interval than the standard block, and longer holds. Bar speed still governs — nothing goes to failure.
This week
Back off, then start the block again at week 1. This loop repeats for as long as the season does.

Lateral output while fresh, a small dose of push-and-recover capacity, and hip control work to finish. Elite dose: one more working set on every lift, jump and interval than the standard block, and longer holds. Bar speed still governs — nothing goes to failure. The heaviest week of the loop, and still nothing goes to failure.
