OFF SEASON TRAINING / GOALIES

Week 5 · Upper & Anti-Rotation Core

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