Cossack Squat
3 × 4/side · rest 30s
0/3
Heavy enough to be work, deep enough to be a butterfly. Thirty seconds, then bound.

Week 3 · 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
The hardest conditioning week of the block and the lightest lifting volume. This is the week that decides how the first shifts of camp feel.

Hips back, bar close, spine long. Moderate and smooth — a goalie never needs a max, least of all before camp.

← Previous sessionWeek 2 · Strength Maintenance & RecoveryJust enough strength to keep what the summer built: a full-range squat, single-leg control for the recovery out of the butterfly, honest upper-body work, and adductors loaded one more time. Build. Sprint and interval density climbs while the lifts stay heavy and short. Every rep fast, nothing near failure.Next session →Week 3 · Reaction & Push-Recover ConditioningA scramble is a read, a push, a recovery and another push. Hand-eye work while the brain is fresh, quick lateral feet, then intervals shaped like a goal-mouth scramble rather than a skater’s shift. The hardest conditioning week of the block and the lightest lifting volume. This is the week that decides how the first shifts of camp feel.
