The Workout


The Workout is the type of exercise done for a group muscle and the number of reps and sets done for the exercise. To have a good workout you have to have more mental focus then physical. First off, if you do not enjoy working out, you might as well give up right now. Working out should be a part of your lifestyle. Many people start and quit right off because they are dissappointed when they do not see results right away. You better not be one of them.

People that start working out all have different aims, some want to get big, some want to get stronger and some just want to look ripped.

**If you’re looking to get stronger, you have to go heavy weight with low reps to positive failure. There are tons of routines for Strength training, I will show you some of the basic ones. Its good to go 5 reps (90% of 1RM) to get stronger and gain some size, but going 3 reps (95% of 1RM) is neuromuscular strength. Here’s an example of a Chest routine:

Flat Bench Press         - 3 reps of 3 sets
Incline Bench Press     - 3 reps of 3 sets
Decline DB Press         - 5 reps of 2 sets
DB Flys                     - 5 reps of 2 sets

**For Strength Training you can also go Push and Pull days, where you go 4 days a week. It’s popular but its not a routine I like, just to show you a couple routines.

Monday - Push -Chest, Triceps, Shoulders, Quads, Calves
Flat Bench - 4 sets of 3 reps
Military Press - 4 sets of 3 reps
Close Grip Bench - 4 sets of 3 reps
Squats - 4 sets of 3 reps
Calve raises - 4 sets of 10 reps
Tuesday - Pull - Biceps, Back, Traps, Hamstring
Curls - 4 sets of 3 reps
Cleans - 4 sets of 3 reps
Deadlifts - 4 sets of 3 reps
Weigthed Chin Ups - 4 sets of 3 reps
Rows - 4 sets of 3 reps
Hamstring Curls - 3 sets of 5 reps
Wednesday - Rest
Thursday - Repeat Monday
Friday - Repeat Tuesday
Weekend - Rest

** If your looking to get bigger size wise. You’ll have to go higher reps like 8-12 to positive failure. This would be a Basic Mass Chest routine:

Flat Bench Press       - 3 sets of 8-12 reps
Incline Bench Press   - 3 sets of 8-12 reps
Decline DB Press       - 3 sets of 8-12 reps
DB Flys                   - 3 sets of 8-12 reps

**Alright, so lets recap now, with the true basics:
-Your workout should not last longer then 45 mins.
-You should never take a second rest when doing your sets, if your going to 8 reps, then your going to 8 reps all out!
-For best gains, do your execises with a perfect form, VERY IMPORTANT
-Always have a workout buddy with you
-Always go to Positive-Failure
-Always warm-up, not just stretching, going from low to heavier weight, to show your muscles you’re about to lift some tough stuff.

**Some Vocabulary You should be aware of:
**Positive-Failure: This is when your going for 8 reps and you make it to the 8th rep but you cant get to the 9th rep.
**Negatives: Using a weight that's above your max and only perform the negative portion. Spotters lift the weight through the positive area and you do the negatives.
** Forced Reps: After positive failure is reached spotters assist  you in doing a couple of more reps.
** 21's: Curl from arms straight to 90 degrees for 7 reps. Then curl from 90 degrees to arms perpendicular to floor for 7 reps. Then do 7 full reps.
**Super Sets: This is where you do not take rest after an exercise, so it would be doing Flat Bench Press, then right after it, doing Flys.

A guy who plays in the AHL trains at my gym and I get a lot of good exercises from him.

Remember that just putting on mass isn't the best for hockey. You really need strength and stability. For hockey you need to find a balance between pure size and strength and agility and quickness. Strength in your core and legs is most important. All hockey players you see will have quads bigger then your waist.  Remember, when you hit a guy, your driving up from your legs and your core. Your not picking him up and curling him (biceps).

The best hockey specific exercise I know of is a modified squat.

Take mabye 1/2 the weight your normally squat with. The first time you do it, do it with no weight at all. The movement is:

1) feet slightly wider then shoulder with the part

2) step back and a bit out (think like your digging your back skate into the ice) with one leg and rotate your toe outwards as you are steping back.

3) Now keeping your head forward and barbell parallel to the squat bar (not twisting) do a squat with the feet positioned as mentioned in 3.

4) Most important! "Push off" your back foot just like when you are skating and bring your back foot up to where the front one is and slightly wider than shoulder with the start

5) you should be in the start position again. Repeat with your other leg.

This exercise is amazing for the explosive speed that is needed in hockey.

Various other leg exercises and balance exercises using the exercise ball and other equipment are key for training in hockey.
