OFF SEASON TRAINING / FORWARDS

Week 5 · Posterior Chain & Single-Leg

Hamstrings, glutes and the back of the hip — the tissue that extends the stride and the tissue that tears when it is undertrained. Heavy hinge first, then the single-leg and eccentric work that keeps it healthy. The strength phase opens. Reps drop, load climbs, rest gets long. Every working set is heavy and honest.

01Week 1 · Lower Power & Squat StrengthThe first-three-strides session. Jump development opens it while the nervous system is fresh, then the squat pattern builds the force those strides are made of. Week 1 is re-entry: own the technique and the range, and leave every set feeling like two more were there.02Week 1 · Upper Strength & Shot PowerThe shot is built in the hips and delivered through the trunk, so this session opens with rotational throws and only then gets to the pressing and pulling that hold a puck-protection posture together.
