OFF SEASON TRAINING / GOALIES

Week 5 · 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. The strength phase opens. Reps drop, load climbs, rest gets long. Every working set is heavy and honest.

01Week 1 · Hip Integrity & Lateral PushEverything 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. Week 1 is re-entry: own the technique and the range, and leave every set feeling like two more were there.02Week 1 · 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.
