Week 5 · Session A · Hip Integrity & Lateral Push

Everything a goalie does laterally starts at the hip, and every hip rep here is owned rather than forced. Strength progresses from goblet to barbell only once the range holds under load.

This week

The strength phase opens. Reps drop, load climbs, rest gets long. Every working set is heavy and honest.
