9 Ten Training

Coach
Sam LeBlanc

This 3 week program will RIP you up and BUILD your base to be the strongest hockey player on the ice this season. We will progressively overload the main lifts and supplement with hockey specific movements that will help you be a better skater, have a harder shot, all while increasing your overall balance.

If you're tired of programs that make you strong sure, but don't apply to what you're doing on the ice, then you NEED this 3 week plan.

There is also speed days where you will build your ability to run faster and translate the strength gains you are seeing in the weight room to your power output on the ice.

Applicable Strength
The strength you'll gain during these three weeks will be applicable to what YOU do on the ice. Single leg strength by doing unilateral exercises is exactly what you can expect in addition to our traditional primary lifts.

Progressive approach
Each week the weight will go up and your required amount of reps will go down. This is the way to build strength progressively. There will also be a slight variety in exercises that are not our primary lifts so that we can keep things fresh.

FAQs
What age is this for?
I've trained athletes of all ages with this program. I substitute any barbell movement for dumbbells and keep the weight manageable for younger athletes who do not have experience with barbell movements.
What if I don't play hockey?
This program is still great for you! I'll also work with you to find some exercises that may be more applicable to your sport.
