Week 4 · Session B · Transition Speed & Repeat Sprints
A defenseman’s speed runs forward, backward and sideways. Sled work in all three directions while fresh, change of direction at full speed, then blocks of short sprints on short rest.
This week
Taper into camp. Volume roughly halves, intensity stays, and you walk in fresh. Test nothing this week — camp is the test.

Defensemen
Keep the block moving.
← Previous sessionWeek 4 · Contrast PowerStrength expressed fast, in two planes. A front squat primes a box jump, a heavy lateral lunge primes a lateral bound, and the point shot gets loaded from the ground up before the groin and a carry finish it. Taper into camp. Volume roughly halves, intensity stays, and you walk in fresh. Test nothing this week — camp is the test.Next session →Week 4 · Upper Strength, Battles & Shift IntervalsThe upper body that wins the net front: a heavy press primes a fast throw, rows and carries hold the posture, frontal-plane strength protects the groin, and longer intervals match the longer shifts a defenseman plays. Taper into camp. Volume roughly halves, intensity stays, and you walk in fresh. Test nothing this week — camp is the test.
