ON SEASON WORKOUTS / DEFENSEMEN

Week 1 · Lower Power & Gap Maintenance

Hold onto the strength and the crossover push through the season. A jump, one heavy squat kept well short of failure, resisted lateral work, and the adductors. Week 1 of 4 — in-season work is short and sharp. Never train to failure during the season.
