3 × 5/side · rest 30s
0/3

Week 1 · Session A · Lateral Contrast & Hips
A goalie’s power runs sideways. A loaded cossack squat primes a lateral bound, a moderate hinge keeps the hamstrings long, and the groin is trained twice before you leave — camp is where goalie groins go.
This week
Transition. The summer’s strength stays, the volume comes down, and repeat-sprint work starts. Expect the conditioning to bite harder than the lifting.
