Week 5 · Session C · Posterior Chain & Groin Resilience
The session that keeps a goalie on the ice in February. Hinge strength, eccentric control through the front of the hip, and adductor loading that progresses from isolated to fully weight-bearing. Elite dose: one more working set on every lift, jump and interval than the standard block, and longer holds. Take the last set of each lift to two reps in reserve.
This week
The strength phase opens. Reps drop, load climbs, rest gets long. Every working set is heavy and honest.

← Previous sessionWeek 5 · Upper & Anti-Rotation CoreGlove hand, blocker and the trunk that keeps them square. Nothing here is about a bigger bench — it is about holding a position while the rest of the body is moving underneath it.

Landing control keeps the volume survivable, and the session ends in the same hip work it started with.
