Week 1 · Session B · Lateral & Skating-Plane Power

Hockey pushes sideways, and almost every generic jump programme trains only up and forward. This session lives in the frontal plane, and it ends with the adductor work that lets you keep doing it.

This week

Week 1 of 4 — absorb. Landings and low hops only, roughly 80 foot contacts. Every rep is stuck and held: if you cannot land it, you have not earned the right to jump it.
