[@patriciawhite7089]

As a physical therapist that has a son who plays hockey, I absolutely LOVE your programs/videos. Your videos are thorough and address all the areas where hockey athletes are weak. Your knowledge of the science behind your training is very evident.

[@hockeytraining]

Thanks so much! I always try to get across the "why" behind everything that I do as I feel it's equally as important as the "how".

[@mitchmellons]

Hey man, just wanted to say that your videos are well thought out, informative, and useful. You clearly know what you're talking about and you explain everything in perfect detail. Keep it up!

[@hockeytraining]

Appreciate that Mike - thanks for watching!

[@montal70]

As a 52yr old guy who is coming back to the game after 30 years this helps a lot, I've been struggling with shifting weight onto my right leg, I can't wait to add this to my off ice training.

[@johnoteri4774]

I'm 58 (almost 59) and left the game in 1986. I just started up this year. This is perfect!

[@cypsrp7924]

​@@johnoteri4774okay, well you both win! I thought I was on an uphill climb...but I'm only 43 and am playing again after 19 years. Keep it up boys!

[@ellisstate]

I wish I had a guy like this in high school or college. Good stuff

[@markbentz9739]

Thank you for this. When the rinks reopen post Covid. I look forward to being stronger. Will continue.

[@petercastellano4111]

just did this entire circuit of 5 today, 4 rounds of each. excellent stuf!

[@ruvimtrofimovich]

Never realized how wobbly my right ankle was until I tried the T stands. Left side went great, right side was a mess. Hopefully it'll help my right side crossovers. Great routine!

[@TommyOcollins]

This is great for fighters as well i like to study athletes from different athletic backgrounds i like learning from hockey because they prioritize this stuff

[@timeout64]

Fine exercises, even for an old hobby crack like me. Just did it first time although I wanted to start aleeady in January 1st. Now corona quarantine is the reason why I started in our basement finally. Best regards from Austria!

[@danomano793]

Extremely informative video that combines visual aids, outstanding oral communication, bio- physiology knowledge and insight into hockey playing athletics. Because this video is so informative and useful, I've passed it along to some of my beer league buddies.

[@dumpstershockey2746]

Terrific video. I have shared with my team.

in the renegade row at the end, lift up the opposite leg and hold. that adds a nice core option

Hey! Could we just do all of these together, like a very light workout or are they made to be done separately?

[@hockeytraining]

Hey Brett, yeah this wasn't meant to be a workout but it wouldn't be a bad grouping of exercises!

[@billB101]

But... I don't skate at home. ;) Joking aside though No.1 actually hurts. Good stuff.

[@gustav1974]

Great video, thanks! Is this applicable even for younger kids? Like 9-12 years old.

[@hockeytraining]

Yeah bodyweight exercises are great for that age group!

[@gustav1974]

@@hockeytraining Ok, thanks for answer! 👍🏻

[@Ouennsitekureruhitosuki11]

is it also good for figure skating shoes

[@daveruby2854]

Whats a good rep scheme for this? Like 5 to 10 reps and maybe 3 rounds?

[@tombarni6009]

Awesome stuff! Question: Is it recommendable to do the split squat in a leg changing way, i.e. left/ right/ left/ right, ... so in a kind of walking way? Because at least to me it fatigues also the rear leg if I work out the front leg by split squats.

[@hockeytraining]

What you're describing is a walking lunge and not a split squat -- Although that's an acceptable substitute, I would still consider the split squat doing one leg at a time to be better 💪

[@robinnn777]

is it normal for the toes elevated squats to hurt my shins?? i do also frequently get shin splits while running...

[@robinnn777]

also those scorpion kicks are amazing!

[@hockeytraining]

Scorpion kicks, gotta love em'! If you're someone who gets frequent shin splints you might want to try out an ankle-based mobility flow prior to performing these movements, much like the one found in our Hockey Training TV app 👍

[@philcampeau]

In the split squat you show the forward foot has foot ahead of the toes. Question. Should the knee be behind the toes to make the move a bit harder ? Or does it not matter ? Curious.

[@hockeytraining]

The knee can go in front of the toes so long as your heel is still in contact with the ground. I recommend the knee go in front of the toes to get more VMO muscle fiber recruitment, but if you do not have the ankle mobility to keep your heel in contact with the ground then you need to bring your knee back in line with the foot.

[@philcampeau]

@@hockeytraining Thanks very much for clarifying

[@liltutty6617]

I roller skate but I will be using this! Thank you handsome ☺️

[@jaypierre5993]

With the T stand, do you rotate between each leg per rep? Or do you do 10 on one leg then 10 on the other?

[@fredrikbystrom7380]

It would be better to do 10 reps one leg, and then 10 reps the other leg, and so on.

[@hockeytraining]

Hey Jay, if you're a beginner and/or having a really hard time with this exercise then doing it in an alternating fashion is preferred as it's a little easier (i.e. perform one rep with the right leg, then perform one rep with the left leg, and repeat going back and forth until you have completed all of your reps). Then, once you get used to the movement and you become more advanced you can switch to performing all of the reps on one leg first before moving to the next 💪

[@603ceramiccoatings9]

You can do all of these every day? or just the first one?

[@hockeytraining]

They are best worked into a proper hockey workout program!

[@edalice1926]

Yup, we have an app now. Search "Hockey Training TV" on iOS or Android!

[@menbehindthemitts2672]

Can you eventually incorporate weights with these movements?

[@hockeytraining]

It's best not to, this is an active recovery movement sessions and not a training session 👍

[@Brandon-mx4mm]

When should I start seeing results?

[@hockeytraining]

You should notice some improvements after a week or two... but significant improvements will require more time maybe 4-6 weeks. Keep at it!

How many reps of each exercise should I do?

[@mariiwata443]

Is this just for hockey

[@hockeytraining]

Yep!

[@allanlane327]

Hey guys, I've tried emailing the both of you but the emails could not be delivered. I can't seem to find any information on when and how to incorporate the hockey skills into the program. I purchased the men's league annihilation a couple of weeks ago and was hoping to start incorporating the shooting/stick handling drills into the program. Another thing, do you guys plan on developing an app for the program? The layout seems a little archaic for the year 2020 even though you deem it to be "mobile friendly" I hope that you take this feedback and look to improve your program in the near future. When I am paying $150 for a program, I expect it to be top notch. I look forward to hearing back, take care

[@hockeytraining]

Hi Allan, are you sending from a Yahoo email by chance? We are receiving emails normally it seems but someone else with a Yahoo email couldn't get through to us. Please let me know. Shooting and Stickhandling drills can be incorporated every day as long as recovery levels are good (15-30 mins of skill work should be fine, but if you're feeling tired and worn down then I would cut back on it). We've looked into having an app created but have decided against it for the time being due to the troubles of keeping apps updated for all operating systems. We are always on the lookout for the best solution for our members.

[@allanlane327]

@@hockeytraining I was trying to send it from my Gmail. Thanks for the quick response. I will begin incorporating the drills from here on out. 🏒

So. I tried the scorpion kicks and my IMMEDIATE reaction was "well someone with tits surely didnt invent this". Is there any exercise you got similar that a breasted hockey player could use?? 😂😂 This rolling back and forth on my teetas is not a good feeling.
