Off-Season Hockey Strength Program: Phase 4
Note: I wrote this article back in 2015.
While I still use many of the same methods and principles explained below with my hockey players, the workout plan feels outdated to me.
I'm always tweaking and testing my strength program to give better results to athletes. That's why workouts from a few years back won't be as effective as what I'm doing today.

With that out of the way, let’s talk training for hockey.
Our U20 team had their first regular season games this weekend and the U17 will follow suit starting next Friday.
Off the ice, that means we’re switching from off-season mode to in-season mode. I’ll be writing more about in-season training as the hockey season progresses, so you can implement some of the tips and tactics we use in your own workouts during the season.
I’m nice like that, ya know.
Phase 4 was our second to last off-season training phase. As the pre-season had already begun at that point, we dropped off-ice training volume in comparison to the previous phase while striving to gain strength mainly in the 5-8 rep range.
Here’s the training program…
Day 1
Day 2
Phase 5 goes up within the next two weeks.
