An athlete's body should be viewed as a linked chain. From head to foot, hockey players are only as strong as their weakest link. As such, upper-body lifting must integrate the core and legs to transfer power to on-ice action. Upper-Body Power for Hockey Performance presents a detailed review of what hockey players should do to develop their upper bodies, including sequential muscle firing and full-body, multi-joint power initiation. The end result is not just strength in the weight room, but being stronger in a standing position on-ice. The DVD features a series of exercises that are designed to transfer directly to hockey skills, including puck protection, body checking, shooting, fighting through checks, and offensive creativity.
Among the topics covered:
~ Commonalities for hockey lifting
~ Chest exercises
~ Back exercises
~ Shoulder exercises
~ Arm exercises
