I didn't play professional hockey for 10 years because I was the most skilled guy (think Happy Gilmore). I used the gym year in & year out during my career to separate myself from the pack.
Although I'm now retired, my passion for training & bettering myself hasn't changed. I am & always will be an absolute savage & for the first time ever, I'm giving people the chance to train with me online. When you sign up, you will literally be completing the EXACT same workouts I am! I want to build an army of savages that are training SMARTER & HARDER DAILY. Every single exercise has a video built into this app of me demonstrating AND coaching you through perfect form for safety & maximum effectiveness.
Every month there will be different objectives but the outcomes will always be the same : Stay Healthy. Stay Jacked. Remain Explosive, Athletic & Sexy in a Mobile & Pain Free Body.
Anyone can join my team at anytime. Commit to training with me & start living your best life.

Seriously do this, seriously, it will make a difference I PROMISE YOU Sit somewhere you feel comfortable enough to sit on the ground, criss cross apple sauce style if you can ( or just with your chest up, perpendicular to the ground ) ... Close your eyes Take 5 deep slow breaths into the nose and out of the mouth - fill your belly with air and then your chest - exhale audibly Tell your self WHY you are working out today - to be in better shape ? to push yourself physically & mentally ? to stay sharp and ready for anything that happens in life ? to be healthier for your kids ? to set a good example for your children ? to be better at rec sports ? to look better naked ? to EARN your confidence ?

Sprints
D
Perform 4-5 warm up sprints that are 10-20 yards in length - increasing intensity with each rep starting at 25 % and building to 100% SPRINTS STARTING FROM YOUR STOMACH : I want you to lay completely flat on the ground and relaxed. I know this will be goofy and it will be alot harder than you think...from a completely relaxed, chilled out state on your stomach I want you to yell GO in your head and your goal is to pop up as fast AND EFFICENTLY AS POSSIBLE to sprint forward 15 yards !!!! **be careful, you may fall if you come up uncontrolled, be ready to roll if you go down 1) 5 sprints at 15 yards - rest as long as you want between each sprint so these are ALL THE FOOK OUT !!! Rest as needed 2) 5x 20 Yard Shuttles - Sprint out 10 yards, stop and sprint back THROUGH the starting line (not to the line, THROUGH THE DAMN LINE) * take as long of rest as you need to perform these at top speed !!!!

Lateral Shuffels
C
6 sets with as much rest as you need between these so that they are FULL SPEED Hit a few warmie rounds building up speed each time to prep for your first real rep - If you have not moved this fast in a while - DONT BE A HERO, work your way up week after week - do this week at 50-60% Today we will perform lateral shuffles into a short sprint Start by placing a cone 5 yards away from your starting point (cone, hat, water bottle, doesnt matter) 1. Lateral shuffle as fast as you can (with a quiet and calm upper body) x 5 yards 2. Get low, change direction back to the starting line by shuffling 5 yards back 3. As soon as you hit the starting line, change direction, open up and sprint 5 yards back to finish THROUGH the cone * shuffle 5, shuffle back 5, sprint 5 KEYS : 1 - Stay low and keep your body under control 2 - Be light on your feet 3 - Place cones or water bottles or markers of some sort 5 yards apart 4 - As youre about to change direction LEAN towards the way you are GOING TO GO - better shin angles = more effective and efficient change of direction
