In final 1/4 of the regular season we transition from 5-3-1 waves to DE waves on our main stimulus. We shift from building horsepower throughout the season to now utilizing it with repeated dynamic efforts. 6x2 @ 50% this week. Good 3 man rotation from the Eastern Bloc fellas.

@JoeyheronCSCS I’m convinced it comes down to a misunderstanding of what the pause on the box really is. Many coaches do not understand the concept of maintaining tension while on the box.

I’m 100% convinced that 0% of the people who claim box squatting puts some risky compressive or shear forces on the spine have never box squatted. I just chill comfortably on this box and have a conversation with myself under 315. Great time to think about squatting cues

Coolest moment of my coaching career to date and it’s gonna be tough to top it. Getting to coach against your little brother in pro hockey!

If you pick the right exercises, you don’t need to do very many of them… In season lower body workout for pro Hockey players: - Trap bar DL: 3x3 ascending SPEED. 1x3 Heavy. - Speed Bounds/Plyo - Chest Supported DB Row - 1 lower body assistance movement based on indiv. Need

@StrengthDebates The “power row” sits with front squat as the best movements to build a big deadlift!

The Pendlay Row is good The Power Row is better IMO Below I detail why I think this alternate barbell row is needed, how it differs from the Pendlay Row and I provide the mindset and benefits it provides Read the full breakdown below 👇🏼

@mboyle1959 @WSWayland I’m not advocating for just hammering volume and intensity with these, but rather using them in intelligent doses to build resiliency and protect the shoulder from extremes seem in sport. I have a lot of respect for you and use many of your methods myself!

@mboyle1959 @WSWayland Train a variety of positions to be resilient in all. And if throwing athletes are prone to cuff issues (due to velocity in those positions) wouldn’t it make sense to train those potions with slower velocities during offseason periods when they aren’t throwing as often?

Behind neck press doesn’t give you bad shoulders it exposes them.

@mboyle1959 @WSWayland I’m not sure any joint was “intended” to perform 90+% of actions and demands that are present in sport. But it’s probably a good thing to expose the body to these extremes to build durability within them. I love those floor slides, I use them frequently with my athletes!

@JackRinzel @WSWayland I’d say “maybe”? I like floor slides for mobility but prefer a dumbbell press for overhead strength? I’m not sure the shoulder joint was intended to be loaded in that much abduction and ER? youtu.be/YXXUd1cKIyw?si…

@mboyle1959 @WSWayland The poison is in the dose correct? Devil’s advocate would point out the possibility that many would still be able to lift their arms overhead if they have done a couple sets of BTN OHP weekly for years.

@WSWayland It would be an interesting experiment to start a bunch of young athletes on behind the neck press and see if this holds up? Either way it’s an exercise most people shouldn’t do. There a reason they don’t make you lift your arms overhead for airport screening anymore. 🤔

@TKPhysPrep Whole lot of show, not a lot of go

All the light show, theme days, smoke machines, instagram post, DJs in the weight room etc won’t make up for poor training. There has to be direction, intent and willingness to push the edge to create meaningful adaptation. You can beat your chest all you want

Bounds should be a STAPLE in a hockey players offseason training. 🗡 Forces up to 4-6x bw through a single leg + absorbing that force and projecting your own body 🗡 GCT closely resemble those associated with skating 🗡 Reinforces lengthening stride and PUSHING through ground

@ScottLeech72 Also - loved your presentation on contact prep for hockey players in the strength on ice seminar - Implemented it in the FB space but absolutely MONEY for our incoming 16U players being introduced to a very physical game for the first time

@ScottLeech72 At the highschool level for us, with our kids skating twice/day and playing 50+ games/year the entire time they are in town, WR work and playing the balancing act seems to be much more difficult than micro-dosing in-season field work. I see both viewpoints depending on setting

I think the reason I don’t love talking about the Weight Room stuff as much as the Field Work is because getting strong is incredibly easy. Train hard and consistently for weeks at a time, turn your old 3s into 5s, push the accessory exercises, and eat enough to do it again 🤷‍♂️

@Eric_Actual Good exercise. They’re nasty. He even explains why he’s using it in the post. Maybe you don’t need to use it and that’s okay, but don’t you think that maybe the reasons you don’t like it are why he likes it for his athletes?

Call me crazy but maybe just add weight instead of searching out unstable, mechanically disadvantaged lifting positions?
