OFF SEASON TRAINING / FORWARDS

Week 8 · 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. Peak week. Low volume, maximum intent, full recovery between everything. You should walk out feeling fast.
