INTRODUCTION
By opening The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Hockey, you have taken your first step towards achieving your athletic potential. This book is loaded with the most up-to-date hockey weight-training information and features a year-round hockey-specific weight-training program. Upon completion of the text, you will know how to properly, safely, and effectively perform over 80 exercises and you will be ready to begin your training.
The most important part of this book is the hockey-specific weight-training program itself, which begins on page 7. This program was created for one reason and one reason only; to improve your hockey potential. It does this by increasing your strength, explosion, power, endurance, and flexibility in the parts of your body that are most important for hockey. The program has been created to supply you with the advantage you will need to outperform all of your opponents. By following the program, you will build your muscles with strength, endurance, and power. When called upon, you will be physically prepared and mentally ready to compete at the highest of your potential.
The program was constructed in such a way that you will be on the top of your game the day the season starts and you will be able to maintain your strength and power throughout the season. The offseason program is set up as a two-day split, four days per week, which means you train all of your muscle groups over the course of two training sessions followed by a rest day.
The off-season is where you will build your foundation of strength and power. The preseason routine is designed to further enhance your physical abilities enabling you to peak with strength and power at the onset of the season. And lastly, the in-season program is designed for the maintenance of your off- season gains without the risk of over-training.
This book does not provide you with on-ice strategies. It does not show you the best ways to check your opponent into the boards, nor does it give you any tips to improve your slap shot. This book does, however, provide you with the best methods, programs, and strategies available to physically improve your body and maximize your hockey-playing potential!
OFF-SEASON TRAINING
The off-season is the time in any sport to build up your muscles, become stronger, and more powerful. The off-season program consists of four different four-week routines cycled together to build both absolute strength and explosive power. The first and third routines are designed for you to put on size and strength while the second and fourth programs are designed for power and explosion.
Variation is one of the keys to a great workout program. The most important reason to vary your routines is so you can continue making progress and gains. Your body will eventually adapt to any routine it’s on, so it is very important to change routines once your gains have stopped and your strength has peaked. Four weeks is the most effective time period to follow any one routine. For more information on the importance of variation to weight-training, see the section The Declaration of Variation on page 102.
It cannot be stressed enough that during the off-season, you must supplement your weight-training activities with some sort of hockey-specific activities to keep your body in proper shape. You must continue to practice your skills throughout the off-season to help keep your body loose and ready to compete during the next season.
STRENGTH TRAINING
The stronger the vital areas of your body are, the better off you will be. Although some muscles are more important than others, every muscle in your body needs to be well trained.
Compound Exercises: Each program contains many compound exercises, that is, an exercise (such as squats, bench presses, and lat pull downs) that trains two or more muscle groups. Most exercise and strength-training experts agree that compound exercises are the most efficient exercises for building strength and size.
Great form: For the best results, use great form while training. Take at least two seconds on the eccentric (negative) phase of the lift and at least one second on the concentric (positive) phase of the lift. This slow, rhythmic movement builds your muscles up bigger and stronger than any
